Yek the Tall was the boss of the Rustbone goblin tribe in Undermountain in the late 15th century DR.[1]

History[]

Yek ruled a large goblin tribe that settled in the Arcane Chambers of Undermountain, where they opened a bazaar that opposed the goals of the Xanathar Guild for the level.[1]

In 1492 DR,[note 1] Yek found a magic gold circlet, a circlet of human perfection, that turned him into a human.[1] Around the same time, the Rustbone Tribe captured the dwarf adventurer Copper Stormforge.[3]

Personality[]

Yek liked his new body, especially because he was taller than before, despite the criticism of many of his subjects.[1] He was very vain.[3]

Relationships[]

Yek had some paid bugbears as guards. Some of his goblin subjects were quietly seeking a means to reverse their boss to his goblin body.[3]

Notes[]

  1. Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
