Moonstar (family)

The Moonstar family was one of the oldest and most prominent members of the Nobility of Waterdeep in the. They made their fortunes as caravan masters and by leveraging their skills as explorers, cartographers, and guides.

Organization
As of 1372 DR, the patriarch of the family was Lord Helve Moonstar with his consort Wylynd. The designated heir was Helve's nephew, Rober. At this point in history, there were thirty-three living members of the Moonstar clan.

Base of Operations
The Moonstar family had a walled compound of two- and four-story buildings on the west side of the Street of the Singing Dolphin in the Sea Ward. It only abutted one other building on the corner with Diamond Street. The rest of the villa and grounds were surrounded by what the locals called Moonstar Alley. The alley and compound were the former site of the High House of Stars, a temple to Selûne that was said to be destroyed by followers of Bane in the. In truth, it was Lord Vanrak Moonstar and the followers of Shar that razed the temple. The undercroft, known as the Vault of Stars, survived the attack and shortly thereafter became Lady Alathene Moonstar's research laboratory and the Moonstar villa was built on the ruins above.
