Company of the White Star

The Company of the White Star was an adventuring company started by Araevin Teshurr to explore the ruins of ancient elven sites. When its members disbanded in 1356 DR, Araevin gave them all a star-shaped pendant that would act as a conduit in case he needed to call them together again.

The company was reformed in Ches 1374 DR and consisted of Araevin, his partner Ilsevele Miritar, former member Grayth Holmfast, Grayth's squire, Brant Rethalshield, and Maresa Rost, daughter of the former member Theleda.

Adventures
After reforming in Ches 1374 DR, the company went on the hunt for telkiira. Araevin had one in his possession which he had recovered from the slain mage Philaerin in Tower Reilloch, and each telkiira's whereabouts were pointed to by the previous one.

The company located the second telkiira in an abandoned mage's tower in the Forest of Wyrms but were ambushed by the daemonfey who brought along the help of various demonic creatures. In the combat that ensued, Brant Rethalshield was killed, but Araevin used a teleportation spell to escape with his other companions, leaving behind their horses and supplies.

After returning to Evermeet, the company learned of Seiveril Miritar's plans to counter the daemonfey army marching on Evereska, and promptly returned to Faerûn to aid him. They participated in the resulting Battle of the Cwm on 27 Ches, and all emerged unscathed.

The company marched onwards using the second telkiira as a guide to the third. From Evereska they used a portal to the Moonwood where they headed northeast towards the Cold Vale, coming across the cave of Grimlight, a behir. The telkiira was located in the cave, and although the party slayed Grimlight, they were soon after ambushed by the daemonfey who were able to take them captive.

The daemonfey took the company back to their leader, Sarya Dlardrageth, at her hideout at Myth Glaurach, who revealed that the first telkiira was planted, and the three were needed to find a selukiira called the Nightstar, which contained the secrets of Aryvandaar, but since the daemonfey could not find the telkiira themselves, Sarya had tricked Araevin into locating them. When Araevin refused to unlock the third telkiira, Sarya had Nurthel Floshin kill Grayth by stabbing him in the neck, which anguished Araevin, allowing Sarya to enchant him into helping.
