Sladis Vladir is a high elf druid who was found by Michael, Aldrik Rumnaheim, Grumble, Squeak, and Donatello while on their way to Mantol-Derith. When they first saw him, he was sitting on a ledge, overlooking a vast, water-filled cavern, and dipping his feet in the murky water. When he noticed them, he invited them to join him. They approached him and after interacting with him, they realized he was a member of the Emerald Enclave, and that he was killing and eating other humanoids, as he attempted to share some ''meat'' with the party from his backpack full of limbs. He told the party he was helping maintain the natural order bu culling the herd to maintain the natural order.
The party, who is now no stranger to the undergoing madness in the Underdark, was able to ascertain Sladis Vadir was suffering from some form indefinite madness. They were able to convince him to go back to Gauntlgrym and suggested that he could be able to have more missions to ''maintain the natural order''. In truth, the party was hoping they could cure his madness. They knew Morista Malkin was looking for a lost member of the Emerald Enclave, so they thought it might be him and wanted to rescue him. To ensure his safety (and the safety of others), they sent a group of faction members who were accompanying them to escort Sladis to Gauntlgrym in the hopes his sanity could be restored there.
Sladis Vadir is currently traveling in the Underdark, on the way to Gauntlgrym, and accompanied by members of the Emerald Enclave, Brim Coppervein, Thargus Forkbeard, Griswalla Stonehammer, and their giant lizards, members of the Order of the Gauntlet, Elias Drako, Tamryn Tharke, and Thora Nabal, and member of the Zhentarim Nero Kelvane.
