Marfold
Marfold
Marfold is a giant ice toad scholar dwelling in the caverns of Oyaviggaton, whom Deez Nuts befriended in Session 48. (Name heard as "Marfold"/"Marfulb"; spelling uncertain.)
Description
A large, intelligent ice toad who keeps a desk buried under mountains of paperwork — a researcher documenting the lands north of the Spine of the World: the Sea of Moving Ice, the Ice Hunter culture, the Ten Towns, and the region's trolls. Her work is the kind of knowledge the Arcane Brotherhood and Strixhaven Academy would prize.
Role in Campaign
The ice toads are ancestral inhabitants of these caverns, kept in line by Arauthator's fear rather than loyalty. When the party approached in Draconic (and via Shade's Comprehend Languages), Marfold and her people agreed to guide them through the upper tunnels rather than fight — wanting the dragon truly dead, not merely driven off.
Relationships
- Arauthator – Feared overlord, not a true master
- Deez Nuts – Allies and guides through the lair
- Ice trolls / Ralph – Fellow oppressed inhabitants of the caverns
