[edit] Appearance

Amedahast was thin with reddish blonde hair worn in a braid to halfway down her back. She had a slight fey look to her face.^[3] By 629 DR, Amedahast's hair was still long, but it had turned silver.^[4]

[edit] Relatives

Amedahast was descended from Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast, a relationship between a human and an elf, but due to many years of human breeding, she was completely human.^[3] Her nephew was Thanderahast.^[2]

[edit] Background

Amedahast was summoned personally by Baerauble Etharr from her home in Myth Drannor to study in Suzail to become his successor.^[3] In 376 DR, she met Prince Azoun I who offered to tutor her in her studies concerning Cormyr.^[5] They met each day for a month,^[6] during which time Amedahast fell for Azoun, but was crushed when she discovered him with another woman.^[7]

Amedahast liked cats, and introduced them to Suzail after a plague in Marsember. She kept around a dozen in her chambers.^[8]

[edit] Death

In 629 DR, Amedahast blew herself up in a Suzail townhouse, by breaking her staff and unleashing the magic within it, killing the traitorous Luthax and his conspirators in the plot against the Crown.^[9]
