Dethud Tanthul

Dethud Tanthul was a shade necromancer and shadow adept and one of the twelve princes of Thultanthar in the 14 and 15 centuries DR.

Relationships
His father was High Prince Telamont Tanthul, and he had eleven brothers, the princes of Shade: Aglarel, Brennus, Clariburnus, Escanor, Lamorak, Malath, Mattick, Melegaunt, Rivalen,Vattick, and Yder.

Dethud had two daughters, Manarlume Tanthul and Lelavdra Tanthul.

Personality
Dethud was taciturn and reserved, more so than any of his brother princes—all in the City of Shade knew him as the quiet one. He hardly ever talked to anyone directly, but when he did talk, he did so with the voice of wisdom.

Activities
In the royal family of Thultanthar, Dethud settled into a role as a mediator and advisor to his father and fellow princes. Telamont usually placed Dethud in his political and military councils, giving him great influence compared to the other eleven princes. However, they also often came to him for advice with their problems and their feuds with one another. Dethud almost always stayed neutral and gave his incisive analysis and a logical solution. However, he did support Melegaunt's policy of manipulation in order to carry out Telamont's plans for conquering Faerûn circa 1372 DR, at least when someone could get his opinion out of him.

By the late 1400s DR, Dethud headed up the intelligence services of the revived empire of Netheril.

Symbol
His personal sigil was a stylized black sunburst over a field of pale yellow.

History
In the, Dethud and the other princes engaged in a spell-battle with Galaeron Nihmedu, Vala Thorsdotter, Aris, Khelben Arunsun, and Laeral Silverhand.
