Description
Vaidun stands about six feet in height and has a slender build. His dusky skin in smooth and supple, and his features are refined and pleasant, handsome. His wide smile shows a perfect set of bright white teeth, and he wears his raven black hair long, braided into numerous small, decorated braids. His eyes are like a pair of glittering onyx stones, and Vaidun usually wears an extremely well trimmed mustache and goatee. He is always well-dressed, being quite meticulous about his grooming. He prefers soft leathers and fine silks, easily fitting in among the noble and wealthy of Waterdeep. His tastes extend to a love of fine jewelry, and he often accentuates his finery with select items of silver, gold and gems.
Background
Vaidun hails from the southern realm of Tashalar, the son of a wealthy merchant lord. As such, his aptitude for magic was identified at an early age, and his family had the wealth to help him develop and harness that ability, apprenticing him to the wizard Glhoe Zarunn. After many years of study, Vaidun was deemed adequately schooled, and returned to help his family run their booming wine and liquor business.
An adventurous streak, coupled with the need to be on his own, led Vaidun to begin accompany shipments to their destinations, and the young wizard traveled the Shining Sea and Lake of Steam regions, and all along the Sword Coast. Eventually, Vaidun settled in the City of Splendors, where he still acts as a front man for his family’s business when he is not busy adventuring. He spends the rest of his time adventuring, seeking the fortune and glory that comes with such pursuits.
His adventuring career has taken him across the North. He has made incursions into Undermountain, explored caverns in the Star Mounts, trekked across the High Moor, and generally traveled far and wide across the Savage Frontier. He dreams of someday exploring the Fallen Lands and western Anarauch, hoping to discover the secrets of the ancient Netheril Empire.
Additional Character Notes & Personality Profile
Keen of mind and reflex, Vaidun is quick to act and very practical, always able to point out both the strong points and flaws in any plan. His companions generally appreciate his honesty and forthrightness, and he is well respected among all that know him. Although a brave and confident individual, Vaidun willingly withdraws in the face of overwhelming odds, believing discretion to be the better part of valor. He is an excellent listener, and enjoys telling stories, as well. His sense of humor is well known, and he can often be found joking and laughing with friends and strangers alike.
Growing up in Tashalar and working for his family busioness, Vaidun developed a taste for fine wines and beverages. Since moving to Waterdeep, Undermountain Alurlyath has become a particular favorite, and he has gone to great lengths to make the proper contacts in Skullport to ensure that he always has a limited quanity of that fine vintage on hand. He also enjoys music, stories and tales of far away places, fine works of art, and blends of excellent tobaccos. He has a great love of challenges of the mind, and is quick to accept any challenge that relies on wits to sustain him.
Vaidun is familiar with most nations and large cities along the Sword Coast, having traveled extensively before settling in Waterdeep. When not busy adventuring or managing his shop, he can often be found gambling at the Gentle Mermaid or enjoying a drink at the Misty Beard. His mercantile ties to his homeland have served him well, and he helps his family supply fine Tashalar wines to the city for a substantial profit.
Vaidun has an intense passion for language, and is something of a linguist, speaking over a dozen different languages. He see this as a way to increase his knowledge of the arcane, as it broadens the sources he can pursue in his quest for eldritch might.
Vaidun keeps a quaint but well-appointed townhome in North Ward, on the north side of Tarsar’s Street just west of the Roaringhorn Villa. His shop, Kale’s Fine Wines and Spirits, is located near where the High Road and Trader’s Way meet. When Vaidun is out of the city, his assistant Verh O'vesis (a tall lanky fellow with a dry, sardonic sense of humor) ably runs the shop in his absence.
