Caryn Chandler was an elder member of the extended Chandler family in the mid-1480s DR, who lived together in the Midler farmhouse near Eveningstar.[1][note 1]

Powers that be! The Gods must have sent you to us! Even the Purple Dragon Knight failed.
May Amaunator's light guide you…
— Caryn to her rescuer[1]

Description[]

Caryn was an older woman with light skin and a bob of white hair, dressed in a white and gray dress with leggings.[1]

Relationships[]

Caryn was the mother of Jandove and Graven, and partner of Wilaver.[1]

History[]

During the Sschindylryn invasion of Eveningstar, the drow forces of Vicala Szind attacked the farmhouse and captured the entire family alive so that she could interrogate them about the Thread of the Weave. Unknown to the drow, the houseservant Maisby had escaped back to Eveningstar and sought help, getting first a pair of Purple Dragons and then a team of adventurers to investigate the farmhouse. Unfortunately, Vicala Szind had set all ten Midlers and Chandlers as part of a sacrificial life-draining spell, and the rescuers would have had to stealthily rescue each family member without Vicala noticing, lest she spitefully kill them.[1]

Caryn was kept below the house in its cellar with a group of drow guards and a wizard that kept them magically paralysed, alongside her husband Wilaver and grandson Thoben.[1]

Notes[]

  1. Menace of the Underdark (including Web of Chaos) is dated to the period of 14841485 DR, as it references the ongoing Darkening. Shadowfell Conspiracy (including Disciples of Shadow, Shadow Under Thunderholme, The Druid's Deep, and The High Road of Shadows) are dated to the same period, as they are stated to take place at roughly the same time as Menace of the Underdark.
