Dexon was a Vaasan warrior that joined several of his countrymen on an expedition to the city of Evereska in the late 14th century DR.[1] There they reunited with Melegaunt Tanthul, an ally of their ancestors[3] who led them to a series of events that would reshape the face of Faerûn for decades to follow.[4][5]
Description[]
He was a swarthy and burly man,[6] with a countenance accentuated by a distinguishing moustache.[7] His appearance (and disposition) was akin to that of a good-natured bear.[8]
During one of his battles while fighting along the elves of Evereska, Dexon's leg was badly injured, withered to the point where it could hardly bear his weight.[9]
Personality[]
Dexon was both a steadfast warrior as well as a kind and caring man. While he and his men were always ready for battle, Dexon often found himself a bit flummoxed when confronted with matters of love.[10]
Possessions[]
Like his fellow Vaasans that made the expedition to the Sharn Wall beneath Evereska, Dexon was the proud owner of a darksword.[11] His blade had the unique quirk of "talking in its sleep", presumably when sheathed.[12][6]
Relationships[]
The burly Vaasan warrior developed a loving and passionate romance with one of his party's elven hosts, Keya Nihmedu. After a few short months together they fell in love, and Dexon became very protective of Keya, even if he had trouble expressing himself.[10]
History[]
Dexon joined the expedition from Vaasa to Evereska in the Western Heartlands in the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR.[1] After traveling to Evereska in the Greycloak Hills, Dexon chose to to remain within the elven city. During his travels he developed feelings for Keya Nihmedu of the Vale Guard.[6]
In mid–Mirtul of that year, the archmage Khelben Arunsun finally broke through the phaerimm-led siege of Evereska and began coordinating the city's defense with the Hill Elders. Dexon and his men served as the Blackstaff's personal escorts for a time.[13] When the time came that Khelben's company leave to fight the phaerimm, Dexon was saddened to part ways from Keya.[8]
The pair reunited in battle when the phaerimm attacked the Vine Vale on Mirtul 20. During the fighting, Keya made use of Dexon's darksword and felt no ill effects—a sensation of cold that left the blade unwieldable after a short time—and realized they had been bonded as family. Keya was expectant with Dexon's child.[2] As Dexon suffered a grievous wound shortly thereafter,[9] the couple were granted leave to rest within Evereska's still-standing walls.[14]
