Lenore De Hurst: Difference between revisions

Lenore is a cleric of Mystra who was studying the magical properties of the Underdark.{{cite text|De Hurst's Diary|Lenore De Hurst|name=diary}} Lenore and her partner, Yrre, a gnomish inventor, lived and worked together for a short time in the Arcane Tower.{{ref|The Blast Pendant}} After a falling out, Yrre left the Underdark to pursue their obsession with storm magic,{{ref|The Watersparkers}} leaving Lenore alone with her research. Lenore remained in the tower, which moved around the Underdark,{{ref|"''The southwest, when I last saw her. Although her tower does have a tendency... to move.''" - Blurg}} with only her pet dog Myrna and her construct {{CharLink|Bernard}} for company.

At some point during her stay in the Underdark, Myrna died. Lenore buried Myrna in the Dread Hollow, overlooking the lake and with her favourite autumncrocus flowers. She later became enamoured with a [[Bulette]] who she found near Myrna's grave, taming it to become a guardian.{{cite text|Letter from Amarith|Amarith}}

Lenore was fond of gardening,{{ref|"''She is quite fond of her garden. Lenore has always been a lonely sort - nature was her only companion.'' - Blurg}} and in particular was interested in the antimagic properties of sussur tree bark and flowers,{{cite text|Treatise on the Antimagic Properties of Sussur Tree Flowers|Lenore De Hurst}} and used them to control the lighting and turrets in the tower. Lenore also created the tower guardian Bernard, a construct who only responds to poetry and play scripts. She programmed Bernard to remind her that she was loved, however, she grew lonely with no one else for company.

Lenore had just begun writing her treatise on sussur flowers, before being called away to Baldur's Gate to confer with her fellow Mystran clerics sometime in 1481 DR.{{cite text|name=diary}} Before departing the tower, Lenore left a message for Yrre, asking that they wait for her return with the hope that the two could reunite.{{cite text|Letter to Yrre|Lenore De Hurst}}

Lenore planned to depart the tower only for a short time. However, she never returned, her research and tower going untouched for a decade. Yrre eventually visited with {{SmRarityItem|the Spellsparkler}}, a staff they had made specially for Lenore,{{ref|The Spellsparkler}} and Lenore's letter. They waited for some time in vain, but eventually left when she failed to return.

Lenore's last known location was during her conference in Baldur's Gate, when she was temporarily ensnared by an anomaly cause by a stranger (see [[#Easter eggs|Easter eggs]]).{{cite text|A Query from DeHurst|Lenore De Hurst}}
