Little is known about the Moonstars, even within the Harpers. Only one person knows all the members of this elite network of Harper spies: its leader, Alustriel Silverhand, the Chosen of Mystra and one of the Seven Sisters.

If you were favored with membership in the Moonstars, your entire life was laid bare before Alustriel Silverhand at one point, and you were found to be a loyal servant of the Harpers with a particular set of skills. Betraying the Moonstars is considered high treason, and defectors are hunted down and quickly brought to justice.

Most defectors from the Moonstars flee to the Far North, beyond the reach of the Harpers. If you are a member of the Moonstars going on adventures, you are either a traitor who has somehow managed to keep your true identity secret from the greatest spies in the North—or you are still on active duty. In the latter case, you can work with your DM to figure out why you are traveling with outside adventurers.

Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Stealth

Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, thieves’ tools

Equipment: A crowbar, a set of dark common clothes including a hood, and a pouch containing 15 gp
