Amedahast was a female human wizard, and a descendant of Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast. She was the successor of Baerauble in the position of High Wizard of Cormyr.[5]
Description[]
Amedahast was thin with reddish blonde hair worn in a braid to halfway down her back. She had a slight fey look to her face.[3] By the Year of the Empty Hearth, 629 DR, Amedahast's hair was still long, but it had turned silver.[6]
Relatives[]
Amedahast was a descendant of Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast, a relationship between a human and an elf, but due to many years of human breeding, she was completely human.[3] Her nephew was Thanderahast.[2]
History[]
Amedahast was summoned personally by Baerauble Etharr from her home in Myth Drannor to study in Suzail to become his successor.[3] In the Year of the Leaping Hare, 376 DR, she met Prince Azoun I, who offered to tutor her in her studies concerning Cormyr.[7] They met each day for a month,[8] during which time Amedahast fell for Azoun, but was crushed when she discovered him with another woman.[9]
Amedahast liked cats and introduced them to Suzail after a plague in Marsember. She kept around a dozen in her chambers.[10]
Amedahast created the longsword Orbyn, one of the Cormyrean Swords of State, for King Duar.[5]
In the Year of the Empty Hearth, 629 DR, Amedahast destroyed herself in a Suzail townhouse by breaking her staff and unleashing the magic within it, killing the traitorous Luthax and his conspirators in the plot against the Crown.[11]
