Vyerith was a doppelganger that worked for Nezznar, the Black Spider.[1]
Description[]
The doppelganger appeared as a female dark elf.[1]
History[]
Circa 1491 DR,[note 1] Nezznar sent Vyerith as a messenger to convene with King Grol of the Cragmaw tribe. The goblinoid king had recently captured Gundren Rockseeker, an ambitious dwarf who believed he had found the location of the Lost Mine of Phandelver.[1]
Vyerith arrived at Cragmaw Castle to request the dwarf and his map to the lost mine. However, Grol did not wish to hand them over, without being given anything in exchange. The doppelganger wanted to first speak with Gundren to find out if anybody else knew of the location of the lost mine, and then kill him. Vyerith was in no way loyal to Grol, and planned to escape if he was slain. However, if cornered, the doppelganger would fight to the death, preferring that fate over being captured.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Pages 30‒31 of Lost Mine of Phandelver describe the eruption of Mount Hotenow (1451 DR) as occurring "30 years ago", which would place the adventure in 1481 DR. When the adventure was later remade into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, this 30 year time frame was kept (pages 50 & 53). However, pages 103 and 179 of Acquisitions Incorporated, a source published after the former, state that the events described in the adventure happen five years after both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. Since the latter is explicitly set in 1491 DR, and considering this answer by Ed Greenwood about dating the adventure, this wiki will use 1491 DR for events related to both versions of the adventure.
