-===Urtos III===
-Urtos III Phylund is a historical figure (secretly still alive) in Waterdeep.
-Urtus III became infant lord, when his father  Urtos II Phylund, was allegedly killed by wolves in 1365 DR, making his mother Aridarye regent of House Phylund.
-It is unclear whether Urtos III is really the son of Urtos II or his mother Aridarye's then-secret (but later not so secret) lover Prendergast Brokengulf.
-However, Urtos II was never dead. He had been inflicted with lycanthrope and gone into hiding at the [[Phylund Lodge]] in the Ardeep Forest.
-Eventually Urtos II's secret became public giving the family a short lived and much needed publicity boost,
-Before the werewolf's eventual death.
-The family drama caused Urtos III to disassociate with society and seek his own reclusive lifestyle, fading into obscurity as even his family lost track of him.
-Over the next hundred years the family's fortunes began to wane as successive generations could barely keep the family business afloat, and those staying at the Lodge returned to the Villa at Waterdeep. By the 1480s DR the lodge had fallen into disrepair for quite some time.
-Around 1485'ish the Red Wizard necromancer, Thegger Grynn, led a group of Thayan Gnolls to the Lodge where they used it as base to terrorize the surrounding countryside while Thegger Grynn experimented on the corpses entombed in the crypts below.
-Within the crypts there was a shrine to Tempus, and behind that a secret shrine to Malar.
-There was also an ancient shrine to Malar with ancient cave paintings on the cavern walls even deeper, implying that the Lodge was built by the megalith on top of the existing cavern system and ancient shrine of Malar. Another much older family secret. Perhaps suggesting that the lycanthrope might not have originated with the mysterious wolf attack, but may be a much older family legacy
-It is unclear whether Urtos III somehow attained unnatural longevity on his own, or inherited it from his lycanthrope ancestors or if perhaps he was resurrected by Theggor Grynn.
-There is a secret linkage to Undermountain from the crypts by way of an undergound river
