([[Alustriel Silverhand]] is *Laerel's* older sister.) She is over 700 years old, and after a period of withdrawal from public life, she now serves as the "[[Open Lord]] pf [[Waterdeep]]-the only one of the twenty or so [[Lords of Waterdeep]] whose identity is publicly known. Though her power has waxed and waned depending on [[Mystra]]'s involvement with the world and has declined significantly in recent years, [[Laerel Silverhand|Laeral]] remains one of the most formidable spellcasters in a world known for powerful spellcasters."
