Sister Garaele
Sister Garaele
Sister Garaele is a young elf cleric of Tymora, goddess of luck and good fortune. Intelligent, curious, and more than a little eccentric, she serves as caretaker of the Shrine of Luck in Phandalin. Her gentle manner and strange sense of humor conceal a sharp intellect and a deep network of connections.
Background
First met in Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin, Sister Garaele requested the adventurers visit a banshee named Agatha to inquire about the lost spellbook of the wizard Bowgentle. To aid them, she provided a silver comb as an offering to ensure Agatha’s cooperation.
To the townsfolk, she appears as an odd but harmless holy woman. In truth, Garaele is a field operative of the Harpers, dedicated to gathering knowledge and quietly opposing tyranny in all its forms.
Relationships
- Phandalin – Her base of operations and the seat of the Shrine of Luck.
- Agatha – The banshee she seeks to contact through intermediaries.
- Bowgentle – A lost wizard whose spellbook she seeks to recover.
- Harpers – Her secret faction affiliation.
Current Status
Alive and active in Phandalin, continuing her quiet work for the Harpers while guiding travelers and adventurers who pass through the town.
Appearances
- Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin – Offers the quest to contact Agatha and recover information on Bowgentle.

Truth: Sister Garaele’s true Harper mission involves tracking signs of necromantic resurgence and lost arcane knowledge — both of which may connect to the growing activities of the Cult of the Dragon. She suspects Bowgentle’s spellbook contains information about magical bindings once used against dragons in ancient Faerûn.
Foreshadowing:
- Garaele may later become a Harper liaison for the party in Rise of Tiamat, facilitating their introduction to the Council of Waterdeep.
- Her interest in divine prophecy and ancient relics ties naturally to the Emerald Enclave and the Harpers’ cooperation in opposing Tiamat’s rise.
- If the party recovers Bowgentle’s spellbook, it could contain clues to the history of dragon-sealing magic and lost enchantments linked to the Dragon Queen’s imprisonment.
