Grizzelda Copperwraught

Counceler (a.k.a. The Growler)

Grizzelda Copperwraught was a dwarven architect and leader of the town council of Leilon in the late 15th century DR. The locals referred to her as the Growler, although never to her face.
Lord Neverember tasked this gruff female dwarf with overseeing Leilon’s construction work.

Accomplishments & Achievements

When Leilon was resettled in the late 15th century DR, Grizzelda was in charge of spearheading the reconstruction efforts, meaning that she directed the laborers and craftspeople as well as paid them each tenday. Because the reconstruction was the most important of the council's roles at this time, she was nominally the leader of the council and thus the most powerful person in town.

Personality Characteristics

Vices & Personality flaws

Grizzelda was gruff and confrontational, and would shame and berate those she disliked or whom she saw as uncooperative with her authority.

Social

Reign

At some point in the late 15th century DR, after having torn down and neutralized the High Tower of Thalivar in the center of Leilon, Dagult Neverember had become interested in rebuilding the town as part of the trade route along the High Road south to Waterdeep. He handpicked Grizzelda to oversee this task.
When the town came under attack from the Cult of Talos and the townsfolk and laborers were driven out, Grizzelda attempted to take charge of the situation, but her abrasive personality made it difficult to coordinate any response. Grizzelda herself resigned to simply wait for reinforcements from Neverwinter until a band of adventurers reclaimed the town. Under Grizzelda continued leadership of the council, this same group of adventurers would be called upon to perform several services to help Leilon grow and to protect it from rising threats from both followers of Talos and followers of Myrkul.

Contacts & Relations

Like most of the town council at the time, Grizzelda had been sent to Leilon by Dagult Neverember, Lord Protector of Neverwinter, and was on his payroll.
Grizzelda was not well liked by the people of Leilon. In general, she had to maintain some diplomatic overtures to other members of the town council, notably Merrygold Brightshine and Valdi Estapaar, as they could overrule her decisions.
