Hoplock Family

The Hoplocks are a family of Lightfoot Halflings residing in Neverwinter.

Beset by poverty, the family long resided in the Neverwinter Narrows, an impoverished neighborhood of winding streets and ramshackle dwellings. Following a change in fortune brought about by an increase in capital from an unknown source, the family moved to and opened a tavern, the Buzz & Bramble, in a respectable merchant-class neighborhood.

Borse Hoplock and Alma Hoplock (née Tuttle) have thirteen children, twelve living. Ages are given at the time of the Yule at the Hoplocks incident.

Grady, M (deceased, would be 27, age 18 at death) – Grady's sudden and devastating death was a formative event for his younger brother Jember, resolving him to provide for his family and cementing his moral stance on the dangers of wealth and power inequality. Jember held sustained guilt over the circumstances of Grady's death, details of which have not been confided by Jember to anyone except, it is assumed, Butty. Following a grueling emotional journey through the High Forest and subsequent test in the portal to the Gloaming Court, Jember experienced a reunion with Grady in the Blessed Fields.

Ludo, 14M – Mischievous and rebellious prankster. Occasional impulses to bully his younger siblings, particularly Hector – but Rubee keeps a close eye on him. He acts out for attention and identity, but there’s not any real malice behind it.

Hector, 10M – Precocious and eager to learn. Has been studying a magic textbook he bought with money Jember gave him; it’s too advanced for his age and he doesn’t quite grip the fundamentals, but he’s too determined to give it up.
