the Dancer-Upon-the-Waves; he shares the ownership with Pasha
Trigan Ollararn of Calimshan.

Hawth is 6' tall and weighs in at a respectable 190 lbs.  He is
completely bald, what little hair he does grow, he shaves every
second day.  His eyes are brown and he wears a earring of a
circular dragon through his left ear.  This is his lucky charm.
He knows it is magic but he is not sure what it does (it is a
periapt of proof against poison, +2).

Hawth is a business man, first and foremost.  He will not carry
passengers unless he can get a better price for them than cargo.
Also cargo does not cause problems with his crew.  However, have
a magic-user or two on hand is always handy if the ship is
attacked by pirates or monsters.  He will ask for 10 gp a person
per ride (10 days) of travel, 7 gp per ride for mages, for a
cabin.  The cabin is the one in the forecastle.  It is one large
cabin with hooks for hammocks.  Hawth does not have any hammocks
available for use.

quiet and canny elf.  He watches everything and keeps an eye on
everybody.  Velorn is totally devoted to Hawth and will back the
captain up no matter how wrong he is.  Velorn owes this debt to Hawth
because Hawth rescued him from slavers in the pits of Calimport.
Velorn doesn't know why, and has never asked.

Velorn has long straight blonde hair, green eyes, and a tanned
smooth complexion.  He wears two large hoop earrings in his ears.
One of the earrings in magical and allows Velord to increase his

clothes.  His favorite colors are blue and white and he is
usually dressed in those two colors.

An minor lord of Tethyr, Lyorn is an agent of Cyric (but has
sympathies for the Cult of Bane).  Lyorn's jobs include fomenting
the chaos that dominates Tethyr until Zhentil Keep can find a
suitable puppet to bring forth as the heir to the Tethyrian
throne.  Lyorn has been approached by the cult of Bane and while
he did not join, he has let the cult know that he will neither
hinder nor harm members of the cult that pass through Tethyr.
Lyorn is connected with the sphere as he was visiting the village
of Blackcandle when the sphere was being made. When the sphere
exploded, Lyorn was the first one at the scene.  Varney suspects
him of holding one of the shards.

trading goods between Waterdeep, Luskan, Baldur's Gate, and
Scornubel.  He has been doing this for five years (being a priest
of Myrkul before he converted to Cyric).  Currently he is trading
fine metal ingots that he picked up in Luskan for rare woods from
Maztica.  He plans of travelling to Scornubel where he will sell
the woods at a profit, outfit a caravan with horses, wool, and
fine textile and move for Cormyr.

E'vane is currently not involved in any Zhentarim plots.
However, he does keeps his ears open and alert for any
information the Black Network can use.
