Background: If there is one man who has benefited from the immense magic that lies in Myth Drannor it is the legendary rouge Verdon Dark. Originally from the city Westgate, this young burglar traveled to Mistledale and to the small city of Silverton where he joined a small adventuring band. The band included the great Waldo of Tyr and the Nameless Bard. Of the three, Verdon Dark gained the most power and became a prominent figure in the Dalelands. Together the three journeyed into Myth Drannor countless times seeking the ancient power of the ruined city and fighting the evil that tainted it, and they found both. After finding out certain clues about the mythical Arm of Valor the group set in upon themselves to find the artifact. After spending many years searching in Myth Drannor for the Arm the party obtained all the pieces except one. They located the last piece in the lair of a monstrous Phaerimn. After disarming many of the Phaerimn's traps and battling many of the Phaerimn's horde they came upon the beast itself and the last piece of the Arm. After a horrific battle the Phaerimn was killed and the Arm pieces completely found. Unfortunately the battle took the life of the Nameless bard and Waldo and Verdon buried him just outside of Myth Drannor. After finding the Arm Verdon Dark donned it and gained immense power. Waldo and Verdon went their separate ways and now Verdon lives in a large hidden Keep somewhere in the Elven Court. Now he mostly spends his time studying ancient tomes and mastering the arts of the rouge. His career in Myth Drannor gave him great amounts of gold and his Keep is filled with gems and art objects from his adventures. Though he is still fairly young he does not adventure much anymore, but he does find the time to save adventurers from the demons of Myth Drannor and is ready for the call if the Dalelands is ever in trouble. Verdon Dark is a prime example of the great magic that can be gained from adventuring in Myth Drannor, luckily for the Dalelands it was Verdon Dark who gained this power. For he has proven himself over and over again to be a enemy of those who wish to harm the good people of the Dales.
