Mendryll Belarod

Mendryll Belarod was a young half-elven bard who traveled Faerûn widely in the 14 century DR, getting into misadventures and writing accounts of the people and places he encountered.

Description
Mendryll had long blonde hair and green eyes. He wore a perpetual smirk.

Personality
He was a gregarious and charming person, and got increasingly cocky and bold with the opportunity to show off. He was very flirtatious with women when given the chance.

He claimed to find Cormyr boring and limiting due to its stable and lawful nature, though it didn't stop him from enjoying himself there.

Abilities
Despite appearing a dandyish wastrel, he was a proficient swordsman and was perfectly capable of protecting himself.

His bardic abilities tended towards the defensive and utilitarian, to better assist his travels and keep himself alive.

Possessions
As a frequent traveler who found or made trouble wherever he went, Mendryll was well-prepared for dangerous situations. To keep himself alive, he used bracers of defense, a powerful ring of protection, a flame tongue longsword, and a harp of charming. He also had a Bucknard's everfull purse, a regular harp, and a regular riding horse.

History
In 1367 DR, he wrote a travelogue detailing his exploration of the Moonsea, repeatedly getting into trouble as he explored each city. He earned a potential enemy in Thentia when he unintentionally ruined the elven maiden Elaesse Loridiel's relationship with her unicorn.

The same year, he attended a party at Thistleflame Keep in Suzail with King Azoun Obarskyr IV, providing music and entertainment for the event. In the process of telling a lewd joke, he terribly offended a group of Sembite adventurers, the Stag Runners, who later ambushed him. He then became entangled in a murder and kidnapping plot by the Emerald Swords company, but was exonerated by having the alibi of spending the night with the Purple Dragon officer Aleka Ravenheart.
