Personages

Proprietors

The Careless Whisper is owned by Lhara and her wife Adnama.

Lhara d'Aela Owner & Proprietress of the Careless Whisper - Member of the Finder's Guild - Member of the Clifftop Adventurer's Guild - Former Adventurer - Adnama's wife Lhara opened the Careless Whisper a year and a half ago after the Last War. The dragonmarked heir of House Tharashk loves telling the story of how she had used her galifars earned in the Last War serving with the Finder's Guild to purchase the space that is now the Careless Whisper after coming home from a particularly rough mission to a proposal of marriage from her beloved Adnama. Within 2 weeks, they were sweeping out a space they had found in Hareth's Folly and turning it into their business together. Lhara is warm and welcoming, although she doesn't trust easily or immediately. She has deliberately turned her tavern into a safe place for queer folk in Sharn, and adores the folk who come with that. She is very protective of them, as well – those who step out of line are in for a rude shock, as Lhara's clever wit can go from nurture to savagery in the blink of an eye. Lhara is swift and deadly with her rapier.

Adnama Fareous Owner & Proprietress of the Careless Whisper - Member of the Clifftop Adventurer's Guild - Former Adventurer - Lhara's wife Though Lhara doesn't really want much to do with running the Careless Whisper, she is the reason that the tavern and inn exist. She convinced Lhara that Eberron had seen enough fighting for now... at least from them, and wouldn't it be nice if they could just open up a place that serves up good food, good ale, and good memories of fighting? Six months ago Adnama gave birth to a baby boy, which take up quite a bit of her time, while Lhara takes care of the day-to-day running of the Careless Whisper. However, she will still stop in from time to time to say hello and let the staff dote on him. Adnama is an accomplished Abjurationist. As a result, The Careless Whisper is heavily warded.

Staff

xxx

	Sheila Sulferbeard Door-ward (and secret hairstylist) Though Sheila is mostly retired from her days as a hair-stylist (thanks to the ongoing generosity of the Popinjays), she works at the Dusken Glade Inn as a bouncer. Her time with the Popinjays (and particularly with Psalm) has given her a fondness for vaeterann folk, and the atmosphere at the Dusken Glade simply delights her. So, she tends to the door, ready and happy to eject bigots and troublemakers when needful, but equally ready to help rush back and avert disaster should something horrible happen to a saece performer's wig-coiffure.
	Grimmund Uruindrin Tavernkeep The burly man who keeps the Dusken Glade's bar has a grim demeanor to him, often listening to his patrons' problems in a half-distracted way that is nonetheless fairly comforting. He is also very good at guessing what people prefer to drink. His silence isn't due to a taciturn nature, however; Grimmund is non-verbal, and uses a finger-language to communicate. Most of the staff at the Dusken Glade know a few bits of the language, and several of them (including both proprietors) are quite fluent in the language. Indeed, they've found it useful even beyond communicating with Grimmund: it has proven a simple way of communicating across a crowded and loud taproom. Grimmund is fond of exhibition fights, and frequents both those at the Field of Triumph and at the Griffin Gathers locally.
	Tawnie Nurwickett Bath Attendant Tawnie Nurwickett, the elderly gnomish Bath attendant, also a Watcher. Granny Nurwickett comes across a brusque and all business and is a keen watcher of people and snooper of pockets. She is fascinated with Sylyra's great height and has given her special use of the large bath when no one is around. She is uncharacteristically kind to her "giant blue lassy" (Sylyra), who she brings out the nicer soaps for (the ones that smell of the woods).
	Sky Wait Staff & Performer Sky is a waiter at the Dusken Glade and occasional entertainer. He plays a bit of harp and drums, but his greatest love is the art of dancing. He has been a frequent ally to Harpers in need, often helping keep them hidden in the city or smuggling them out. Though he is always happy to help in a pinch, he has repeatedly declined invitation to officially become one of their number. Sky is one of the tabaxi, a race of humanoid jaguars that hail from some unknown, distant jungle. He is 6' 7" tall, slim and athletic, covered with golden-brown fur with black markings and emerald green eyes. Sky is always wearing the cutting edge in Waterdhavian womens high fashion and jewelry. He is particularly fond of dresses and coats befitting a lady of status. He adores gowns with high collars and is especially drawn to fine fur coats - Waterdeep is a chilly place after all. When performing he likes to wear somewhat skimpy garments leaving little to the imagination, often draped with airy lace or else layered skirts that swirl around him as he moves.
	Royen (Roy) d'Ghallanda Cook The larger than life Roy is absolute master of his domain, for which Lhara is thankful. Though he runs his kitchen like a tyrant, the food that comes out of it certainly seems to make it worth it.
	Alonek Ethlek Cook's Assistant Alonek is a hard-working lass who is trying to work her way out of the Cogs by learning a respectable trade. Though she is diligent in her duties, she also frequently peeks out of the kitchen doors at the spectacle and revelry going on out in the serving room, watching until Roy barks at her yo get back to her task.
150px	Filganos Staleene Barhelp Fil's job is to tend to the taproom, lending a hand with whatever is needful. His first job is making sure that the bar has everything it needs, from clean glasses to new casks. He fills in the time between by making his way through the large taproom to round up dishes to take to the kitchens, and lends a hand with dish-washing and serving when he has a moment. The handsome young man is a favorite of many of the inn's patrons, especially given his preference for working shirtless when nights heat up in the taproom.

Regulars

	Phaumrover Waterdhavian Watch Part of the local Watch patrol, Phaumrover is fond of the Dusken Glade. Considering himself a sort of guardian of Twilight Vaeteru (he himself being vaeterann), he is a sweet-natured, quiet fellow and often stops in for dinner and a listen to the music before heading home.
	Lady Lovestriss Saece Performer & Barfly The Lady Herself (as many in Twilight Vaeteru call them) is a fixture in the many establishments that cater to vaeterann folk, particularly the Dusken Glade Inn. Frequently intoxicated, and very prone to saece performances that, as Zavelinda once said fondly: "Her performances are to saececraft what the Spellplague was to magic." Still, vaeterann folk are often quite protective of them even while rolling their eyes at what a mess they are. Denabria in particular is well-known for insisting that the Lady Herself eat something solid, and occasionally shuffles them off to bed when the melancholy and cheap alcohol have done them in.
