Xamlyn and Alaeros were once a young, impoverished couple in Waterdeep, serving a corrupt and abusive noble lord. One fateful night, an unknown entity approached them with a dreadful bargain: wealth and power in exchange for the noble’s death.
They accepted, the murder was committed, and from that moment began the Margaster family’s descent into evil.
As their influence in Waterdeep grew, so too did their greed and thirst for power. In time, the same entity returned with another offer — to sacrifice their own children in exchange for dominion through the strength of ancient spirits known as the Four Kings.
Though unwilling to kill them all, Xamlyn and Alaeros convinced themselves to make a “compromise”: every third child born would be offered as a sacrifice.
