The Durinbold family (pronounced: /ˈdɜːrɪnboʊld/ DUR-in-bold[4]) of the Sword Coast was one of nobility that connected two great cities. Their members were part of the Waterdhavian nobility as well as the Baldurian patriar.[1][2]
They owed their wealth to a number of financial interests, having invested in mercenary companies, cattle ranches, and sheep farms.[1]
Base of Operations[]
The family owned a villa in the North Ward of Waterdeep, on the south side of Sulmor Street between Ilzantil Street and Vhezoar Street.[5]
History[]
By the late 15th century DR, the Durinbold family was renowned for their mint-flavored Durinbold cheese. Durinbold & Oathoon, a provisioner business was one of the bigger suppliers of shops and businesses circa the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR. A member of the Durinbold family, Lord Durinbold, was among those attending coronation of Lord Enver Gortash for which he commissioned a fanciful outfit from Facemaker's Boutique in the Lower City. Lastly, in the 15th century DR, Durinbolds were mentioned in a work of fiction called Baldur's Gate Protectors, an illustrated novel featuring a vigilante Flaming Fist called "The Fixer" who worked to recover the abducted daughter of Lady Durinbold.[6]
