Emmek Frewn was a barkeep in Waterdeep in the early 1490s DR.[1]
Personality[]
Emmek always disliked the tanning business. Instead of pursuing the family trade, he used all his money in the development of a new tavern. He was stingy in paying some types of expenses and skimped on amenities, but too free with his money on flashy things.[1]
Relationship[]
Emmek hated dealing with the League of Skinners and Tanners. In the past, he had had dealings with the Shard Shunners, a gang of halfling wererats.[1]
History[]
Frewn's family originated in Neverwinter but relocated to Waterdeep after the Ruining of 1451 DR. Frewn's father worked in a tanning business in the Trades Ward of the city. After the death of his parents, Emmek's sister took care of the family business.[1]
In the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR,[note 1] Emmek wanted to open a tavern and tried to buy the Trollskull Manor, but was outbid by Volothamp Geddarm. Instead, he opened a pub nearby in Trollskull Alley but got into trouble with the Carpenters', Roofers' and Plasterers' Guild for not asking their assistance and offended a member of the Cellarers' and Plumbers' Guild. Emmek made it his goal to be the most successful tavern owner in the North Ward and had no scruples when it came to ruining his competitors' businesses.[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).
