[[File:Qelline_Alderleaf_Portrait.png|right|200px|thumb|Qelline Alderleaf, Halfling Farmer of Phandalin]]

Qelline Alderleaf is a warm-hearted halfling farmer who runs [[Alderleaf Farm]] on the western edge of [[Phandalin]]. Known for her pragmatism and kindness, she is one of the town’s most trusted and respected residents. Qelline provides food, shelter, and information to travelers in need — often in exchange for good stories.

=== Background ===
A lifelong resident of Phandalin, Qelline raised her son [[Carp Alderleaf]] alone while maintaining her small but prosperous farm. When the adventurers arrived in town during [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]], she welcomed them and offered valuable advice. She recommended they visit her old friend [[Reidoth]] in [[Thundertree]] if they wished to learn more about magical matters.

Though she presents herself as an unassuming farmer, Qelline’s knowledge of the region’s history and people suggests sharper instincts and broader connections than she admits.

=== Relationships ===
* [[Carp Alderleaf]] – Her son; she worries constantly about his reckless curiosity.
* [[Reidoth]] – Old friend and confidant, living in [[Thundertree]].
* [[Phandalin]] – Her home; she acts as a quiet stabilizing presence in the community.

=== Current Status ===
Alive and maintaining her farm. Though she avoids direct involvement in local politics, Qelline keeps a watchful eye on the shifting balance of power in Phandalin.

=== Appearances ===
* [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]] – Offers advice and introduces the adventurers to the druid [[Reidoth]].

<details><summary>🧩 DM Notes (Spoilers)</summary>

'''Truth:''' Qelline is a subtle ally of the [[Harpers]], providing shelter and information when needed. She has worked with [[Sister Garaele]] on several quiet missions to protect Phandalin from criminal and cultist infiltration.

'''Foreshadowing:'''
* Qelline may serve as a contact or information source for the [[Harpers]] during ''Rise of Tiamat'', facilitating communication between the party and [[Reidoth]].
* Her connection to Reidoth can foreshadow the druid’s importance in later storylines involving the [[Emerald Enclave]] and the wider struggle against Tiamat’s forces.
* If Carp is ever endangered, Qelline’s protective instincts could draw her into direct involvement with the party’s affairs.
