The Harpers
Type: Faction — old order of Forgotten Realms canon, here re-cast for That's So Raven Posture toward the party: Unknown First On-Screen Reference: Session 018 (via the anti–Shadar-Kai ward at the Druid Grove of Lynx)
What the Party Knows
- The Harpers raised an exclusion ward at the Druid Grove of Lynx specifically barring Shadar-Kai — a response to the Shadar-Kai's role in the slaying of Bahamut during (or shortly after) the Second War of the Lance.
- The ward is real — Ubys hit it as if it were brick.
- The ward is specific — non-Shadar-Kai approach the perimeter without consequence (or with discomfort, in AC's case).
- The Harpers are therefore an old, persistent order with the practical capacity to set wards that hold against ancient evil and that recognize bloodline.
