Corylus Thann (pronounced: /ˈkɔːrɛlʌs/ KOR-eh-luss[2]) was a noble of the Thann family and a Lord of Waterdeep during the late 15th century DR.[1]
Personality[]
Corylus lacked the moral values typical of the Thann family. He was also a racist, focusing on the welfare of human citizens only. He refused to be in debt to anyone and was suspicious of people who tried to curry favor with him.[1]
Activities[]
Corylus was one of the most prominent vintners of Waterdeep. He however preferred focusing on his duties as Lord while other family members managed the family wine business. Corylus usually traveled through the city by coach with six guards as protection. He could also call on eight members of the City Watch at his disposal as reinforcements.[1]
History[]
In the past, Corylus hired some Zhentarim thugs to harm some non-humans that sought positions of political power in the city.[1]
In 1492 DR,[note 1] Manshoon blackmailed Corylus and forced him to use his political power to cover the activities of the Zhentarim loyal to Manshoon.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
