![[EldranaMoonbanePathfinder-v2.webp]] # Eldrana Moonbane _Elf Archmage | [[Black Network]] (formerly) | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary Ancient dark archmage who once ran the [[Black Network]] in [[Neverwinter]] under [[Manshoon]]. Her rivalry with [[Ravenna]] led to her capture and torture in the [[Gloomcellar]], where [[Ravenna]] cut out her tongue. The party rescued her alongside [[Nira Mistwood]] and other prisoners. %% ## Now Held in [[Harpers]] custody, still plotting her return to power and revenge against the [[Gilded Gallows]]. ## Appearance Ageless elegance, silvery hair, blue eyes filled with wisdom and torment. Wears dark flowing robes marked with arcane symbols, some faded from imprisonment. Mute — she communicates by telepathy. ## Personality Sadistic and cunning. Speaks in deliberate, haunting telepathic cadences. Proud but wounded — imprisonment has made her warier while sharpening her hunger for revenge. Unconsciously hums a lullaby from the [[Gloomcellar]] depths. ## Quote _"In the dance of shadows, it is not the brightest star, but the deepest darkness that reigns supreme."_ ## Connections **[[Manshoon]]** — mentor; rose to power under his guidance. **[[Ravenna]]** — rival; tortured her and cut out her tongue. **[[Fzoul Chembryl]]** — served him in her rise through the [[Black Network]]. **[[Nira Mistwood]]** — fellow prisoner rescued alongside her. ## Background **The Rise:** She seized control of the [[Black Network]] in [[Neverwinter]] under [[Manshoon]]'s guidance, ruling the city's underworld until [[Ravenna]] outmaneuvered her. **The Fall:** Captured and tortured in the [[Gloomcellar]], where [[Ravenna]] cut out her tongue.
