The Silent Slayers were a band of drow-hunting elf crusaders of Shevarash in the mid-14th century DR.[1]
Organization[]
The leader of the Silent Slayers was Pendaran.[1]
Tactics[]
The band employed enchanted warpaint, flash gems that created blinding flashes of light, and much magic in their hunting of drow through the Underdark.[1]
Curiously, each member of the band wielded one of Shevarash's favored weapons: Pendaran and Nairen wielded a bow and sword respectively, while Adair, Koora, and Sorrell Ilithaine wielded a spear, sling, and club respectively, the three of which were the weapons of Shevarash when in the guise of Elikarashae.[1]
Possessions[]
The entire warband was outfitted with enchanted rings that allowed for silent sharing of communications, and a variety of boots of elvenkind that they called "boots of silent striding", and which also had the powers of boots of levitation.[1][note 1]
Relationships[]
The band acted at least once at the behest of the High Council of the Elven Court.[1]
History[]
In Midwinter in the Year of Moonfall, 1344 DR, the warband was called upon by the High Council of the Elven Court to hunt down several drow that had tested its defenses. It had been operating for roughly six years at the time. They were joined by Sorrell Ilithaine, an elven bard, for that mission.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Though the boots are referred to as boots of silent striding, Pendaran clarifies they are not just that, implying that they possess all of the powers that such boots would have. Given their effects, boots of silent striding are assumed to share the functions of boots of elvenkind, and their boots are assumed to also have the functions of boots of levitation for the purposes of this article.
