Lathkule

Edit

The Lathkules were a family of Waterdeep ennobled in the mid–13th century DR.[1] They survived through to the late 15th century DR.[2]

Activities[]

The family business was based around jewelry, prospecting, gem mining, and gem cutting.[1]

Possessions[]

Lathkule Villa in the North Ward was their main residence.[1][3][4][5][6]

History[]

The family was ennobled in the Year of the Cockatrice, 1248 DR.[1]

At some point, the Defenders Three foiled one of the plots of the patriarch, Nimor Lathkule, against Lord Maernos, a fellow noble.[7]

In the mid-to-late 14th century DR, Maerjanthra Shalace's jewelry store and workshop was attacked, and its owner apparently slain. Her child, Narnra Shalace, suspected the Lathkule or Artemel families of having ordered it, though she never found out the truth.[8]

Members[]

As of 1372 DR, the Lathkule family boasted 25 official members. At that time, their roster was known to include:[1][3]

  • Patriarch Nimor Lathkule[9]
  • Consort Larin Lathkule
  • Heiress Jacinth Lathkule

Other known Lathkules of the time period included:

  • The adventurer Morgunn Lathkule[10][11][12]
  • Korlgan Lathkule, member of the Blacklegs[13]

Lathkules of other time periods included:

  • Shallen Lathkule, vampire hunter[14][15]
  • Yathla Lathkule, an adventuress around 1479 DR.[2]

Rumors[]

The Lathkule family was said to be quite possessive after death, especially to the unlucky living that got too close.[16]
