Activities[]

Belnar Buckmantle was a War Wizard of Cormyr.[1]

History[]

Alongside Halance Tarandar, Belnar Buckmantle accompanied the young nobleman Arclath Delcastle to the Dragonriders Club as a guest after the Open Feast; the nobleman invited him as he found him to be exhausted. The trio were entertained by a masked dancer, Amarune Whitewave, while inside.[1]

He was reported dead and decapitated afterwards, with more than a dozen Purple Dragon knights.[2][note 1]

Aftermath[]

His death drove his friend Halance to write a note to himself about the masked dancer who'd given them all lapdances during their talk, alongside the mental nudging of the evil archmage Manshoon.[2]

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 While Marlin Stormserpent is a prime suspect, as his retinue slays a number of purple dragons and decapitates them, he is never shown to have met Belnar Buckmantle, and in fact Belnar is alive in a later chapter after his foray into the palace's haunted wing. It is possible Manshoon activates someone to act as a copycat killer in some fashion.
