Eldon Keyward was a Neverwintian noble, a priest of Deneir, and a scholar specialized in the outer planes in the late 15th century DR.[1]
“
Neverwinter has cracks between our world and the Shadowfell—Crevices of Dusk, they’re called. Planar travelers sometimes slip through.
”
— Eldon Keyward[3]
History[]
In the 1490s DR,[note 1] Eldon and other three nobles were kidnapped by group of Vecna cultists and taken to Neverwinter's graveyard, Neverdeath.[4] He was then caged and subjected to a ritual lasting several hours with the purpose of sacrificing his secrets to Vecna.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Canon material provides conflicting information for the date of the events described in Vecna: Eve of Ruin and its prequel adventure, Vecna: Nest of the Eldritch Eye. Both adventures use the eruption of Mount Hotenow (in 1451 DR) as a reference: Eve of Ruin states that the eruption "nearly destroyed the city forty years ago" (p. 17), placing it circa 1491 DR, while Nest of the Eldritch Eye states the eruption to have happened "fifty years ago", placing it circa 1501 DR despite being the prequel. Unless a canon source provides clarity, this wiki will use "1490s DR" to refer to the dates of these adventures.
