"She breathed into the night. At dawn, her eyes closed slowly and the breathing finally stopped. Maran awoke shortly thereafter. He said nothing. He cried. We buried her." - Ander Blackwood, in a letter left behind before his death.

The former Blackstaff of Waterdeep, Vajra was a slight, dusky-skinned human woman. As the Blackstaff, it was her duty to protect Waterdeep and act as advisor and protector of the Open Lord of Waterdeep. Vajra died tragically in a confrontation with Drezlin Nandar when she, Elminster Aumar, Ander Blackwood and Maran Blackwood attempted to charge a Mythallar for Ander's use. With her dying breath, Vajra transferred the item and position of Blackstaff to Maran.
