Waterdeep

A dignified woman in her mid-50s, with sharp features and piercing eyes that seem to see through deception. She dresses in elegant robes adorned with subtle arcane symbols, favoring deep blues and silvers that reflect her house's colors.

Known for her genteel manners and sharp intellect, Hlanta is a master manipulator who wields information as her weapon of choice. She maintains an extensive network of informants and is considered one of the most dangerous social adversaries in Waterdeep's noble circles.

As the matriarch of House Melshimber, Hlanta has steered her family through the intricate politics of Waterdeep with a combination of arcane prowess and social acumen. She played a pivotal role in the re-establishment of the New Olamn Bardic College in 1366 DR, donating the Stormwatch and Heroes' Rest villas to serve as the college's new home. Hlanta's personal life is marked by a series of strategic liaisons, resulting in several children who have each taken on roles within the family's extensive operations. Her eldest son, Khallos, serves as her heir and is deeply involved in the family's scholarly pursuits.
