Ottickal Greybeard

Ottickal Greybeard

Lord Ottickal Greybeard is a dwarven lord hailing from High Horn, descended from the legendary figure Dhag Greybeard. He is most distinguished by an extraordinary memory — a personal archive of regional history that makes him one of the most useful living sources of lore about the Farseas and the surrounding lands.

Lineage

Lord Greybeard carries the weight of a notable bloodline. His ancestor Dhag is remembered in connection with Molly, an elfin consort whose story has passed into the regional folklore of the Stormhorn approaches. The family's presence at High Horn spans multiple generations, with Mortimarr Greybeard currently serving as Herald of High Horn — sharing Dhag's lineage and, to some degree, Ottickal's gift for institutional memory.

The Living Archive

What sets Ottickal apart from other minor nobles of the Cormyr frontier is his role as a living repository. He does not merely know history — he carries it in reliable detail, including accounts from eras before written records were consistently kept in the western reaches. Scholars and political figures who need to establish precedents, verify claims, or understand the origins of old agreements have reason to seek an audience with Lord Greybeard.

In a region where records have been lost to flood, fire, and deliberate destruction, this is no small thing.
