Background
Liriel Baenre is one of the most gifted wizards ever born to Menzoberranzan — daughter of Gromph Baenre, Archmage of the city. She is rare among drow in that she retained her surface-wizard spellcasting abilities even in the Underdark, a feat tied to the Windwalker amulet and her own exceptional power. She left Menzoberranzan and traveled the surface world, eventually carving her own path apart from her House.
In this campaign, she goes by Lireal — a name she has chosen for herself, separate from her Baenre heritage.
Role in Campaign
Lireal appeared during Session 3, already present inside the Tarrasque with the party. How she came to be there and why she joined this group is # TODO: Confirm with GM.
She travels with the party as an NPC companion.

GM Notes
Active Threads
- The Lireal / Haldak tension over the unidentified spell is explicitly unresolved. What was the spell and why did it offend her principles?
- Lireal and Othorion both have Baenre blood. Does either know? Jarlaxle is watching Othorion — is he also watching her?
- Why is she traveling with this particular party? What brought her to the Tarrasque's interior?
- The name shift "Lireal" vs "Liriel Baenre" — # TODO: Clarify what this represents in-campaign. Is she hiding her identity? Using a surface name? Something else?
