Daran Edermath
Daran Edermath was a retired half-elf adventurer who dwelt in Phandalin in the late 15th century DR. Daran had silver hair and was over a hundred years old. He was a retired member of the Order of The Gauntlet, but still kept in touch with them. His connections secretly made him one of the most powerful folk in Phandalin, if he cared to bring them to bear.
Daran was quick to help, and was happy to speak and trade with newcomers to the town of Phandalin, sometimes offering them a place to stay in his apple orchard. However, he was slow to put his faith in strangers, and any hint of underhandedness could forever lose his trust. He preferred to avoid politics.
One such example is when he assisted a party of Adventurers, known as <Static> in taking down the Cragmaw Castle by providing intel and an Elven Ranger as a Guide.
Daran managed the Eldermath Orchard in Phandalin. He grew apples and produced cider, juice, and other goods to be sold to visiting merchants and local businesses. He had a habit of hiring out-of-work miners, making him a popular figure in town.

Personal history
In his earlier years, Edermath was an active agent of the Order of The Gauntlet, quelling evil throughout the Dragon Coast. Daran retired to open his apple orchard in Phandalin, though he still kept watch for evildoers in the region and maintained contact with some of the more powerful members of his order.
In 1491 DR, the retired half-elf became increasingly worried about the havoc the Redbrand Ruffians were causing in Phandalin. Anyone who spoke out or acted against them would be killed, and their family kidnapped. Daran wished that a group of adventurers would rise up and sever the head of the bandit organization by killing its leader, Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek. He would tell willing adventurers that the bandits' safe house was under Tresendar Manor Manor, and that they spent much time at the The Sleeping Giant tavern.
