Agent of the Lords Alliance

Background: Born and raised in the serene village of Frostwell on the Sword Coast, Silda Hallwinter enjoyed a simple upbringing alongside her father, Wendel Hallwinter, who served as a volunteer guard in their small community. However, tragedy struck when her father was slain by bandits during an attempt to search their cart. This event ignited a fervent desire for justice within Silda, shaping her future path.
Early Career: Upon reaching adulthood, Silda enlisted in service in Neverwinter, where her courage and determination distinguished her during skirmishes with the formidable Tribe of Many Arrows. Her exploits caught the attention of The Lords Alliance, leading to her recruitment as an agent. Rising through the ranks, Silda eventually attained the prestigious position of First Guardian, a testament to her unwavering commitment to the cause.
Romantic Interlude with Gundren Rockseeker: Amidst her duties, Silda found companionship with Gundren Rockseeker, a charismatic dwarven explorer. Their relationship blossomed, but ultimately, they parted ways romantically, though they remained steadfast friends. Gundren's proposition to explore the Lost Mines of Phandalin, driven by the promise of prosperity for the region, led Silda on a fateful journey that would intertwine her fate with that of the Tormentors.
Tragedy and Resilience: The journey to Phandalin took a perilous turn when Silda and Gundren were ambushed by goblins and subsequently captured. Their quest for the Lost Mines became entangled with the machinations of the enigmatic Black Widow, leading to Gundren's disappearance and Silda's captivity. Rescued by the Tormentors, Silda emerged determined to uncover the truth behind the sinister forces at play in Phandalin.
Quest for Justice: In Phandalin, Silda's resolve is tested as she seeks to unravel the mystery of her missing friend, Iarno Albrek, an elven agent of The Lords Alliance. With the aid of the Tormentors and other allies, Silda uncovers the truth behind the Redbrand gang's newfound magical prowess, discovering that Iarno himself, masquerading as the Glasstaff, had betrayed their cause.
The Battle of Phandalin Square: As tensions escalate and the threat of the Redbrands looms large, Silda and the Tormentors rally the townsfolk in preparation for a climactic confrontation. The battle that ensues, known as the Battle of Phandalin Square, sees the forces of justice pitted against the nefarious Noah Harkin, the Redbrands, and the treacherous Iarno Albrek. Though victory is achieved, the revelation of the Glasstaff's escape to a mysterious structure in the clouds foreshadows future challenges for Silda and her allies.
Quote: "My father played the Harmonica. When I was very young and afraid of monsters under my bed... he played for me. He said that music had... special powers. Monsters were afraid to hear it. And when the monsters heard songs and melodies, they would disappear. So when I listened to the music he played for me I was never afraid to go to sleep. But one day, when my father was on guard duty at our village, he approached a group of travelers and asked to search their cart. As he came near, they shot him with arrows and took off. When he died... I realized even he couldn't make all the monsters go away. There are too many young girls and boys in this world who are forced to grow up without mothers and fathers. Thats why I do this, because I dream of a world where children can walk down a street safely. Where mothers and fathers have the means to provide for families without compromising their character… We have to stop these men from breaking any more homes."
