![[IMAGE_LAERAL.png]] - **Race/Class:** Human Wizard and Open Lord of [[Waterdeep]], one of [[Mystra]]' Chosen - **Born**: 765 - **Status**: (*Currently Alive*) - **Alignment:** CG - **Notes:** One of [[The Seven Sisters]], became Open Lord of Waterdeep in 1489 DR. Laeral is a powerful archmage bound to [[The Weave]] through Mystra’s favor. Known for wisdom and restraint, she replaced [[Dagult Neverember]] as Open Lord, guiding Waterdeep through turbulent years with steady leadership. [[Dio Eldwynair]] met her in his late 40's in Waterdeep, where she recognized [[Beshaba]]’s mark and spoke to him with rare honesty and compassion- yet in this version of 1493 DR ([[CYCLE 18 - The Lie That Held]]), she would pass him without a second glance- remembering nothing of the conversation that shaped him so deeply.
