The Vanthampur family was one of several clans of wealthy patriars that composed the nobility of Baldur's Gate. They owed much of their success to the civil engineering they provided for the city,[1] primarily by the family's matriarch Duke Thalamra, who previously served as the city's Master of Drains and Underways.[2][3]
