Durexter Dagohnlar

Durexter Dagohnlar was a merchant from Marsember in the late 14^th century DR.^[1]

Description[]

The man was overweight, and often had bad breath because of his taste for spicy food.^[1]

Personality[]

He liked garlic and Thayan pepper. According to his wife, he was a brute, a boor, and thoroughly dishonest.^[1]

Possessions[]

He owned a large home on Calathanter Street, three blocks away from Haelithtorntowers, where many servants worked. In his bedroom, which had a tiled floor,^[2] the large bed had a high canopy of rubyweave draperies, bedposts, silken sheets, cushions; there was a glass-fronted wardrobe with frilled lovegowns and robes,^[2] a footstool, a chest-of-blankets that smelled of moth-powder. As of the early spring of 1373 DR, their room also sported a new Athkatlan rug, thick and fur-like. Their bedroom window opened directly over the canal. He was wealthy enough that he could afford to rip one of his wife's robes in an adventurous act of ardor.^[1]

The servants' quarters had peep-panels on the doors.^[2] The bedroom was upstairs, separated from the ground floor by at least three flights of stairs; the stair leading to the front door was in a room with a vaulted ceiling, where a crown-of-candles chandelier hung close to the top flight of stairs. Between the top flight and the middle flight of stairs was at least one copper pot with ring-handles, on which a fern grew. Between the middle flight of stairs and the last one closest to the front doors, there was an ancestral Dagohnlar set of decorative armor.^[3]

Activities[]

Durexter was a merchant of ill repute. He made it a point to avoid dealings with even more disreputable merchants.^[1]

Relationships[]

Durexter was married to Starmara Dagohnlar.^[1]

History[]

At some point before the spring of the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR, Durexter Dagohnlar had swindled two other Marsemban merchants, Aumon Tholant Bezrar and Malakar Surth, of a large sum by reneging on his obligations in an illicit deal, confident they would not have recourse from anyone else. They invaded his home one night in the early spring of that year, quickly binding and gagging him and his wife while they were otherwise occupied in their bedroom.^[1]

While they were bound, the thief Narnra Shalace burst in through their bedroom window trying to escape the Harper Glarasteer Rhauligan, in hot pursuit of her. He vociferously denied to his captors that those two were hired by him; it didn't matter, as they tried to fight Glarasteer, only to be quickly defeated.^[2] Nobody rescued him and his wife, however, leaving them to try and chew through the bindings.^[4]

Past morning^[3] he was not done chewing through the bindings. He was later visited by the local watch, but adamantly refused to reveal anything about the matter to the captain, a watchman with a grizzled moustache. He was gagged and taken from the room for that, almost certainly for questioning.^[5]
