Hanno Minstrelsong, not his original name, was a half-elf rogue living in the city of Wheloon in Cormyr. He was the proprietor of Hanno's Herbs and Medicines.[1][2][3][note 1]
Personality[]
Hanno was described as always smiling.[1][3]
Activities[]
Hanno Minstrelsong sold a variety of mundane healing supplies, including herbs, poultices, medicines, and alchemical mixtures, as well as magical potions. He also bought bulk quantities of powdered and bottled herbs from halfling hamlets along Cormyr's southern coast and eastern farming belt, and sold them to caravan merchants who distributed them in markets in Suzail, Sembia, and Westgate.[1][3]
He even sold nonlethal poisons to those who inquired discreetly and appeared trustworthy. However, Hanno didn't sell any lethal poisons, and those who asked for them could end up being watched by the Purple Dragons.[3]
History[]
Once, he was a highly successful thief. He was so successful, in fact, that a whopping six assassins were individually sent after him. He was forced to flee Amn with magical assistance.[1]
Retiring from a life of crime and adopting the name "Hanno Minstrelsong", he settled down in Wheloon in Cormyr. He set up as a herbalist and physician, selling a variety of healing goods from Hanno's Herbs and Medicines.[1][3]
He was in business by 1358 DR,[2] and continued through 1369 DR.[1] He was still in business in 1374 DR.[3]

Notes[]
- ↑ Hanno Minstrelsong is stated on the map of the Waterdeep adventure to be a halfling, while the Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave adventure says he is a half-elf. This article assumes the latter case by using the more recent source, and because the accompanying image in Volo's Guide to Cormyr apparently shows a full-sized man, not a halfling.
