Dwalimar Omen
Captain of the Realms Master & disembodied wizard whose soul lives in an astrolabe
Dwalimar hailed from Halruaa. In one of the adventures he undertook for the Netyarch, he was sent to acquire the Astrolabe of Nimbral for his nation. While the mission was a success, his human companion was killed, and he only managed to save his dwarven friend Minder by placing her soul in a golem.
Years later, the Netyarch Zalathorm Kirkson gave Omen the mission of finding and destroying dangerously powerful artifacts using the Astrolabe. On the journey, he gathered a set of companions, including Minder the golem, Foxilon Cardluck the halfling, the humans Priam Agrivar from the north and Ishi Barasume from the east and the elf Vartan Hai Sylvar.
At the start of the Time of Troubles, Vartan was chosen as a vessel for his god, who immediately commandeered the Realms Master, in order to attack Helm and return to the heavens. The crew managed to defeat him and cast him into the Demiplane of Fear, where Dwalimar kept all his most dangerous artifacts, but not before it was too late to change course, and the ship was destroyed by Helm. A few years later, Vartan’s god would repair the Realms Master.
In 1492, Dwalimar’s soul was now inside the astrolabe in the Realms Master. After being overrun by undead in Chult, it mysteriously ended up in Westgate‘s harbor, where a group of adventurers found it and began to work as Dwalimar’s crew, continuing his hunt of dangerous artifacts.
