The embassy of Karrnath is a brooding fortress in the midst of Ambassador Towers. The Karrns are always prepared for the worst, and the embassy is designed to endure a siege. The interior of the embassy is filled with glyphs of warding, alarms, and arcane seals—one wrong step can prove deadly. The embassy contains its own garrison of elite soldiers, commanded by Kanarr Talan (LN male human fighter 6)—20 3rd-level fighters, all prepared to die in the service of Karrnath. Riots, thieves, spies—the Karrns are ready to deal with them all.
Ambassador Syra ir’Tarrn (LN female human aristocrat 7) is a brilliant diplomat, and she is completely devoted to her nation and her king. She has no ties to the Order of the Emerald Claw, and she doesn’t even know about the hidden temple of the Blood of Vol in Graywall. Syra deals with the legitimate diplomatic activities of the embassy, while Malen Torr, a ruthless spymaster, handles espionage and shadow work.
Malen Torr (LE male human rogue 5/master inquisitive 3) is loyal to Karrnath, but he does not approve of the king’s promotion of peace; Malen believes that the only way to secure true peace is to restore Galifar under Karrn rule. He has made contact with a number of the warlords of Karrnath who share his opinions, and in the future he may set plots in motion to disrupt the peace process and to weaken Breland or gain control of new weapons for Karrnath. Depending on the political and ethical alignment of a party of adventurers, Malen could be a valuable patron or a deadly foe.
