Personality
Beriand was an older elf, softly-spoken, and pious. He was selfless and ready to provide adventurers with healing.

Abilities
As a cleric of Mystra, Beriand was a capable healer. His abilities were greatly enhanced via Deathbane, his powerful magical staff.

Possessions
Deathbane was the main item of note in Beriand's possession. The staff possessed powerful healing enchantments that the cleric of Mystra used to aid fellow adventurers opposing the Cult of the Dragon.

History
In 1369 DR, Beriand, along with many other adventurers, answered Elminster's call for aid against the Cult of the Dragon that planned to use the ruins' mythals and the Pools of Radiance to conquer the region. Beriand and Faeril, an elven fighter-cleric, along with a few others, arrived at the ruins from Elven Court.

Beriand's group was ambushed by orcs with most of them slaughtered. Thankfully, Faeril managed to drag the bling cellar away from danger. Together, the two survivors found shelter in Stillwater Ruins, behind the protection of an elven word of power. Even though Beriand survived, the Deathbane staff was lost to the attackers. Faeril kept the blind cleric safe with her life.

Eventually, a group of adventurers from Phlan arrived at the ruins to join the forces opposing the cult. Beriand requested their aid with recovering Deathbane, in exchange he provided them with the elven word of power that granted entrance to the Dwarven Dungeons underneath Myth Drannor, provided them with information on Elminster's hero Athan's wetherbouts, and aided the heroes with his healing abilities.

The group from Phlan managed to recover the staff from the orc marauders and returned it to the blind cleric. Soon after, they secured the shine of Mystra in the ruins, prompting Faeril to join the heroes in their quest.
