Othiiyr Velthrann

Othiiyr Velthrann was a sage of the city of Tsurlagol in the Vast.

History
His life's work was his study of the magic swords of the Royal Guard of King Imphras I and King Imbrar of Impiltur. These swords were among the legacy of the Mage Royal Soargar, and relics of Old Impiltur, but long since lost. Othiiyr dedicated himself to recording the legends around them, and pieced together the histories of five surviving swords: Ashram, Ellendrin, Galathos, Malagar, and Sarghathuld.

He was able to examine at least one of these swords himself when, in the Year of the Behir, 1342 DR, the thief Gort brought him Ellendrin to identify. Othiiyr offered to buy the sword, but Gort refused, hinting that a contact in the Moonsea had already contracted him to retrieve it. Gort left Othiiyr's house and that was the last anyone admitted seeing him and Ellendrin again.

Associates
Othiiyr was a regular correspondent with fellow sage Elminster of Shadowdale, and told him all about the five swords.
