History
of Shadowdale - Shaerl
and Mourngrym Meet and Marry
|
The
implications of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun "choosing" the last two lords
of Shadowdale (Doust Sulwood and Mourngrym Amcathra) were not lost on
the Dale's powerful neighbor to the south, Cormyr. An agent was sent northward
to divine Mourngrym's true intentions and to guarantee the Dale's continued
good relationship with the throne of the Purple Dragon.
The agent was a rogue named Shaerl Rowanmantle, sent by Vangerdahast (though
all paperwork on this matter has been curiously incinerated in Suzail,
so all is hearsay and tale). Shaerl discovered more than she intended
and fell in love with young Mourngrym. The two married and became the
lord and lady of Shadowdale. Shaerl's loyalty is now to her husband and
to the land they co-rule. This was probably not the intention of the Cormyreans.
