Shaliim Wyrmslayer

Shaliim Wyrmslayer was a Tashalan human fighter, sorcerer, and eldritch knight, one-time world-walking adventurer, and the Prince Royal and later Overking of Lapaliiya, ruling from the Palace of the Overking in the capital city of Sheirtalar in the mid- to late 14 century DR.

History
Around 1353 DR, Prince Shaliim and a band of "wildblades" hailing from Waterdeep went adventuring and discovered a network of portals that they used to explore other worlds.

On one of these worlds, in the, Shaliim and the wildblades came across a kingdom of dwarves and humans ruled over by a group of powerful elder black dragons known as the Black Wyrms. The adventurers were quickly captured, but battled to escape. In the end, Shaliim even jumped inside the mouth of one of the black wyrms and killed it from the inside, thus gaining his epithet. On the way, they even robbed from the dragons' hoard.

That year, after safely returning to Toril, Shaliim went back to Lapaliiya, taking up the mantle of Prince Royal and ruling the city of Lushpool from the Palace of the Prince. Over the next ten years, he was forced to battle many thieves who came in search of the treasures won on his adventures.

At last, in the, his aged father died of heartstop and Shaliim became Overking of Lapaliiya. He moved into the Palace of the Overking in Sheirtalar. One of his first goals was to find a wife; he sought a woman who matched him in both the magical and martial arts.

However, the Black Wyrms were seeking revenge. Following ten years of effort, they tracked the wildblades back to Toril, located the adventurers themselves, and discreetly killed them, one by one. News of the disappearances eventually reached Shaliim and, in the, a black dragon was even sighted swimming in Talar Bay. In response, Shaliim stayed sheltered within the Domed Palace as he worked desperately on a plan. He thought to hire a group of adventurers to make an expedition into the Mhair Jungles and seek lore from a time when the yuan-ti fought with the great old dragons of Faerûn. But, as he was unable to represent the realm in person, Lapaliiya's trade suffered and concerns were circulated privately around the court.
