(H UMAN B ARD )
Bartholomew grew up in the Bladesemmer
family villa in the Sea Ward of Waterdeep, on
the northeast corner of Sul Street and Rough
Road.
The family is well known for their weapon
forging and the making of exotically designed
armors. His family always planned for young
Bartholomew to follow in the footsteps of his
brothers, father, grandfather and their fathers
before them, but weapons were of no interest
to him. Instead, he would skip his forging
lessons to sneak to the Castle Ward, where he
would listen to the stories and songs of famous
bards recounting heroic deeds.
More than anything, he wanted to have
adventures and, more importantly, tell others
about them. At great displeasure to his family,
Bartholomew joined the Waterdeep Academy
for Fine Adventuring to follow this dream.
C AELDRIM L ATHALAS (H IGH E LF
W IZARD )
Wizarding runs in the Lathalas family, and
Caeldrim is no exception. He started his
training at the Conclave of Silverymoon.
Initially, he thrived in the academic setting,
but after a while he grew bored of all the
theory and wanted to see more action.
When he got word of the Academy in
Waterdeep, where he would be able to continue
his studies but focus on adventuring, he
decided to move away from his ancestral home.
He was able to quickly convince the Academy
to let him join, as he already showed great
knowledge about the arcane.
During his training at the Academy,
Caeldrim was able to pursue the more
practical sides of wizardry that he so desired.
C LERIC )
The Goldfinder clan moved to Waterdeep for
the promise of riches long ago. Ovina wanted
to be an adventurer for as long as she can
remember and joined the Academy as soon as
she was old enough to do so.
She initially trained in the martial arts, but
that changed during her first year when she
saw the injustice and horror in the world. Her
god gave her a clear and unmistakable sign
and she dropped everything to serve the divine.
From that day on, she spent most of her
time training with the Clerics in the Academy.
R OSALIND F ARBRAID (H UMAN F IGHTER )
Born and raised in Goldenfields, Rosalind
knew she was destined for greatness by the
time she was 10. She spent all her free time
running around town having adventures and
going on quests for her neighbours.
When she turned 18, she set out on her own.
Her destination was Waterdeep, with the goal
of selling her services as an adventurer in the
City of Splendors. However, fate had other
plans when she was robbed by goblins on the
way to Amphail. She barely made it out alive
and her ego was badly bruised.
She spent her last coins on an escort to
Waterdeep, where she decided to join the
Academy to make sure she would never be
taken by surprise quite like that again.

L ILITH (T IEFLING R OGUE )

Lilith grew up as an orphan on the mean
streets of Waterdeep’s Field Ward. She learned
to steal, deceive and pickpocket to survive.
Then, one day, she made a decision that
would change her life. She targeted an
unassuming human woman and tried to pick
her pockets. The next thing she knew, she was
in an alley, grappled by Ismelda Philomena,
who was in the Field Ward on business.
Ismelda took pity on Lilith and recognized
her talent and already quite formidable skills.
She took Lilith to the Academy to give her a
formal training, and Ismelda has been like a
mother to Lilith ever since.
