Background
Nildar was the commander of the Duergar mountain fortress near Caer-Dineval. He wore armor better than standard Duergar issue, suggesting elevated rank within the hierarchy. He is the son of Durth and the grandson of a figure referred to only as “father” — the unknown leader planning an assault on Ten Towns.
Key Information
Pre-Capture Speech
Before attempting to flee via invisibility, Nildar delivered a speech to the party:
“When my father unleashes his terror upon Ten Towns…”
He escaped using Greater Invisibility but was grappled and cornered by Thorkin, the panther, and the rest of the party. He groveled and was captured.
