Drogan Droganson

Drogan Droganson was a renowned dwarven wizard, cleric of Mystra, and secret member of the Harpers, who opened a school for adventurers after retiring from the his own adventuring life. His students included Drogan Droganson's pupil, Xanos Messarmos, Mischa Waymeet and Dorna Trapspringer.

Description
The dwarf had a braided white beard, balding hair and half moon spectacles.

Personality
Drogan spoke very little of his past life, though was known for his adventuring lifestyle and displayed many qualities associated with the northern shield dwarves. He ultimately sacrificed himself for his new apprentice which showed his deep loyalty to the Harper's cause and his students.

Abilities
As well as being a member of the Harpers and a renowned wizard and cleric, he also had a passion for sharing his knowledge with new hopeful adventurers, resulting in him mentoring students in Hilltop after his retirement.

Possessions
Drogan was entrusted by the Harpers to protect four magical artifacts: Belpheron's mummified hand, a dragon's tooth, a mask which once belonged to a Lord of Shadows high priest and a tower statue which was found in a desert tomb.

Drogan's home had many magical items as well, including an alchemy station called 'The Grinder' and a large laboratory which his faerie dragon familiar, Riisi, protected from intruders.

History
Drogan decided to settle down in Hilltop after a life of adventuring and opened a school for aspiring adventurers out of his home.

In the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, a kobold attack within Drogan's home resulted in him being poisoned with a dagger coated with an exotic poison. Fortunately, Ayala Windspear, a fellow Harper agent, had been tracking the kobolds since they had left their usual territory and arrived on the scene soon after. Though the poison was resistant to usual means of healing, she was able to nurse him back to health over time, possibly aided by his senior apprentice gathering a mixture of tressym tongue, charcoal, and helmthorn berries from the local herbalist.

When stable, he revealed that the artifacts he had been protecting were stolen in this attack and dispatched his student to recover them.

After recovering, Drogan sent his apprentices to travel across the Anauroch desert in order to find his acquaintance, archaeologist Garrick Halassar, who may be able to identify a magical crystal found within the tower statue. Later, Garrick contacted Drogan and set up a teleport to bring the war to his apprentices side.

Drogan again met with his apprentice deep within some ruins, to help them reactivate a portal through which a mysterious woman leading a group of demonic creatures was seen entering. Unfortunately, he realized too late that their quarry had hidden a lethal magic trap within the magic of the portal that would kill the next person who activated it, and collapse the ruins around them. Drogan sacrificed himself to protect his apprentice and hold open the portal long enough for them to escape.
