![[Mya.png]] # Mya Haventree _Moon Elf Druid | Guardian of [[Goldenfields]] | [[Emerald Enclave]]_ ## Summary Moon elf druid, adopted daughter of High Harper [[Remi Haventree]], and one of the [[Heroes of Waterdeep]]. Born to the Broe family — nomadic moon elves from the High Forest who settled in [[Waterdeep]]'s Field Ward. Her parents were murdered by drow when she was a child; a lone drow warrior hid her in darkness and lied to save her life. Adopted by [[Remi Haventree]], Mya grew from a grief-stricken, vengeful child into a powerful druid and compassionate leader. Served as the party's majordomo, tactical backbone, and exasperated moral compass across multiple campaigns. Killed by [[Graz'zt]] at [[Silverymoon]] when the Demon Prince drove his sword through her to punish [[Baldric]]. Her soul was trapped in the [[Shard of Evil]]. Freed and resurrected after the heroes destroyed the Shard and defeated [[Graz'zt]]. Married [[Kalanthel Tanor'Thylan]], a redeemed drow warrior and devotee of [[Eilistraee]]. Became Guardian of [[Goldenfields]], where she founded [[Lys'Alustriel]], a drow sanctuary within the walls. Mother of twin daughters. Currently missing from [[Goldenfields]] on a secret mission — the hunt for [[Graz'zt]]. %% ## At a Glance Serene, watchful, and radiating the quiet authority of someone who has seen the worst the multiverse can offer and chosen to build something good from it. Known as the "Sage of [[Goldenfields]]" — people travel from across the Sword Coast seeking her counsel. Finds solace in nature, the company of a tight circle of friends, and the gardens she's coaxed into unprecedented bloom. Large gatherings and politics exhaust her, echoing old traumas. Under the calm runs deep water. Vivid nightmares still pull her back into the [[Shard of Evil]]. Dark caverns and ocean depths are triggers. There are walls around her heart — built from past betrayals and the memory of dying with [[Baldric]]'s name on the air — that even [[Kalanthel Tanor'Thylan|Kalanthel]]'s love hasn't fully dissolved. She views death not as an end but a transition, a philosophy born from personal experience. Her druidic powers are extraordinary. Rare flora once believed extinct thrive under her touch. [[Goldenfields]]' yields defy natural limits. Memorials to fallen comrades — groves and fountains — dot the landscape she tends. She mentors young druids, teaching them not just the lore of nature but the wisdom of someone who died, came back, and chose to keep going. ## Personality Sharp, sarcastic, fiercely competent, and deeply kind beneath the thorns. Mya's default mode was exasperated practicality — her job was to keep the party alive, and when she failed, it would be their fault. She hired [[Willow]] for security without telling her. She expressed concern about [[Baldric]]'s many enemies with the tone of someone filing a complaint. She used Wind Walk, Misty Step, and Druid Grove with clinical tactical precision while the rest of the party did whatever the hell they wanted. But the warmth was always there. She stopped to talk with suffering people in the Field Ward. She built a drow sanctuary because her mother taught her that the drow who saved her life proved an entire race could be redeemed. She reincarnated allies without hesitation — giving [[Jalester Silvermane]] a half-orc body, giving [[Baldric]] a High Elf body, never asking whether it was convenient. Her complicated bond with [[Baldric]] defined much of her emotional arc. She was killed because [[Graz'zt]] understood that destroying Mya was how you break [[Baldric]]. Even trapped in the [[Shard of Evil]], she reached through dreams to guide him: sarcastic commentary, words of encouragement, and one constant message — "Find me." ## Quote _"My job is to keep you alive. When I fail, it will be your fault."_ ## Background **The Broe Family:** Born to Ralnor and Rania Broe, nomadic moon elves originally from the High Forest who settled in [[Waterdeep]]'s Field Ward near the [[Snobeedle Orchard and Meadery]]. They lived off the land, sold produce, and knew peace. Rania became close friends with [[Remi Haventree]] — Remi's most "normal" friend, someone outside the ruling class. **The Drow Raid:** Drow raiders attacked the Broe family. Mya was off playing when she heard the slaughter. Running back, she encountered a lone drow warrior separated from his party. He pulled her into darkness. "Be quiet, little one," he said. He hid her while her family was murdered. When his companions asked if there were more, he lied. This nameless drow's act of mercy saved Mya's life and eventually changed the course of history on the Sword Coast. **Remi:** [[Remi Haventree]] adopted Mya, giving her a new family that was "dysfunctional and petty and loving and funny." Remi used the story of the drow warrior to teach Mya that drow are not cursed to serve [[Lolth]] — that they can make different choices. Mya remained close to the Snobeedle family; [[Blossom Snobeedle]] brought her into the [[Emerald Enclave]] after her parents' death. **The Shrine to Eilistraee:** When drow followers of [[Eilistraee]] approached [[Remi Haventree|Remi]] asking for help building a shrine in the Field Ward, Remi agreed — and made Mya help. Mya wanted nothing to do with it at first. The drow had killed her family. But Remi reminded her: "Remember the drow who saved your life. He made a different choice." Mya eventually befriended the drow tending the shrine, including [[Kalanthel Tanor'Thylan]], the church's leader. [[Kalanthel Tanor'Thylan|Kal]] fell in love with Mya. Mya, being Mya, was oblivious. **House Ulbrinter:** Mya's adopted father, Arthagast Ulbrinter, was a former [[Masked Lords|Masked Lord]] assassinated by the [[Cult of the Dragon]]. Mya loved him. She has two half-elf siblings on the Haventree side — Arthius, studying music in [[Silverymoon]], and Serenore, living on the Moonshae island of Alaron with her family. Mya is close with both but has no interest in the ruling class or House Ulbrinter's internal politics. **The Emerald Enclave:** Unlike her mother, Mya isn't a [[Harpers|Harper]]. She's [[Emerald Enclave]], like her birth parents. Her primary contacts are [[Melannor Fellbranch]], the groundskeeper of [[Phaulkonmere]], and [[Jeryth Phaulkon]], the demigod servant of [[Mielikki]] who manifests as a disembodied voice in the villa gardens. [[Jeryth Phaulkon|Jeryth]] and [[Remi Haventree|Remi]] are the two most significant influences on Mya's life. **The Majordomo:** [[Mirt]] hired Mya to serve as the party's majordomo at [[Trollskull Manor]] — a job she claimed to have been preparing for her entire life, though she seemed to disagree with [[Mirt]] on this point. She established ground rules: her job was to keep them alive, and when she failed, it would be their fault. She reluctantly managed the manor's refurbishment while expressing concern about the many people trying to kill [[Baldric]]. **The Crushing Wave:** Mya was the party's tactical anchor during the war against the [[Cult of the Crushing Wave]]. She used Wind Walk to pursue the stolen [[Devil's Fin]]. She scried on [[Gar Shatterkeel]] to locate him in [[Mintarn]]. She created Druid Groves for safe rests in hostile territory. During the climactic battle against [[Yngukulub]], she used Misty Step to bypass two enormous Chuuls and heal [[Baldric]] — a calculated risk that [[Baldric]] validated by turning his attacks on [[Gar Shatterkeel]]. When corrupted Erinyes abducted her and dropped her from the sky, [[Bussy]] teleported mid-air to catch her, saving her life. **The Reincarnator:** Mya possessed a particular talent for bringing people back in new bodies. She reincarnated [[Jalester Silvermane]] as a half-orc. After undead [[Marlos Urnrayle]] smashed [[Baldric]] to pieces, a distraught Mya immediately cast Reincarnate, turning him into a High Elf — like herself. **Baldric:** Their bond was complicated, deep, and ultimately used against them. [[Gar Shatterkeel]] understood that [[Mya]] was the person [[Baldric]] actually cared about and threatened to destroy her to break him. [[Graz'zt]] understood the same thing and acted on it. [[Baldric]] tried to bargain his soul for his friends' lives; [[Graz'zt]], frustrated with the con-man's manipulation, drove his sword into Mya instead. She died. Her body withered to a husk. [[Baldric]] told her corpse he loved her as a friend during the failed resurrection. [[Osah Firesong|Osah]] suggested he kiss her. He did not. **The Voice in the Dark:** Mya's soul was trapped in [[Graz'zt]]'s weapon, but she wasn't silent. Her screaming face appeared in the black tar when [[Drown]] was destroyed. Every night, she haunted [[Baldric]]'s dreams — showing him the important moments of her life, her family's murder, her adoption by [[Remi Haventree|Remi]], their adventures together. She offered sarcastic commentary and words of encouragement. She warned him when [[Tharizdun]] opened the [[Living Gate]]. And always, one constant message: "Find me." She guided [[Baldric]] to the center of the [[Shard of Evil]] during the apocalyptic climax of the [[Oblivion War]]. **Resurrection and Marriage:** When the heroes destroyed the [[Shard of Evil]] and defeated [[Graz'zt]], Mya's soul was freed and she was resurrected. She married [[Kalanthel Tanor'Thylan]], the drow warrior who had loved her for years — a woman whose family was killed by drow marrying a redeemed drow. They have twin daughters. **Guardian of Goldenfields:** Mya became Guardian of [[Goldenfields]], the North's breadbasket. Under her stewardship, the blessed fields have produced unprecedented yields. She founded [[Lys'Alustriel]], a drow enclave dedicated to [[Eilistraee]] within [[Goldenfields]]' walls — a sanctuary for drow escaping [[Lolth]]'s tyranny. The shrine her mother started in the Field Ward became a settlement. The lesson of the nameless drow warrior became an institution. **The Hunt:** Mya departed [[Goldenfields]] on a secret mission before recent attacks devastated the settlement. Her absence created a power vacuum that enemies exploited. The mission: hunting [[Graz'zt]], the demon who killed her, whose destruction on the Material Plane was not permanent. The woman who guided [[Baldric]] from inside the Shard of Evil is now tracking the creature that put her there. %%
