Damlath

Damlath (nicknamed the Laughing Mage ) was a wizard.

Appearance
Damlath was dark-skinned.

Personality
Damlath had an acerbic personality to which few warmed.

Possessions
Damlath acquired a flying carpet from Llorbauth and used it as a mount, in preference to a horse. He wore a cloak with magical pockets that could store extra equipment, such as his carpet.

Background
Damlath was originally from Erlkazar, and became a devotee of Oghma in Llorbauth at the Lore Halls. In 1350 DR, he went to Silverymoon to work with Sandrew the Wise, and when Sandrew began work on the Font of Knowledge in Waterdeep, Damlath helped in the construction.

In 1371 DR, Damlath began working with Raegar Stoneblade, under Phanar Manthar at the Font of Knowledge in Waterdeep, with the aim of disclosing secrets held by wizards in the city. Together their surveillance and dispatching of Surkhas of Leilon was able to prevent the Arcane Brotherhood from claiming the High House of Thalivar and its secrets.

Damlath visited Erlkazar in Mirtul, 1374 DR.

The Sleeping Dragon
On 28 Uktar 1374 DR, Damlath and Raegar had brought the Diamondblade to the Sleeping Dragon inn, and Gamalon's green gem eye caused lightning bolts to transmit between it and the blade, destroying the front of the building and a large area of the upper floor.

Gamalon Idogyr, Raegar and Damlath survived, but Gamalon's wife, many guards and other bystanders were killed in the incident. While Gamalon was laid low, Damlath (who was possessed by the lich Priamon "Frostrune" Rakesk) stole his gem eye.
