The ambitious drow had many spies reaching all the way
to Neverwinter, as well as several giant spiders, which acted
as guards.[1]

Possessions
Nezznar owned a spider staff, which was a quarterstaff that
could poison foes. He also carried a potion of healing, a key
to a cell, several pieces of coin, nine gemstones, and a slab
of electrum crafted in the shape of a mug of dwarven ale.
The drow also claimed the dwarven temple to Dumathoin as
his personal quarters during the exploration of Wave Echo
Cave.[1]

History
Circa 1491 DR,[note 1] the drow promised a share to Iarno
Albrek of the Lords' Alliance in exchange for his loyalty and
aid. Nezznar was the true leader of the Redbrands,
controlling them (as well as the Cragmaw tribe of goblinoids)
in the hopes of finding Wave Echo Cave and unlocking its
secrets (while also keeping it a secret for himself).[1]

After finding the mine, Nezznar came across two of the


Rockseeker brothers, Nundro and Tharden. He slew
Tharden, but kept Nundro as a hostage, as he thought the
dwarf knew more than the he was letting on. From then on,
he focused on getting to the legendary forge, but was set
back by hordes of undead, and rooms full of poisonous
fungi.[1]

Appendix
Notes

1. Pages 30‒31 of Lost Mine of Phandelver describe the eruption of


Mount Hotenow (1451 DR) as occurring "30 years ago", which
would place the adventure in 1481 DR. However, pages 103 and
179 of Acquisitions Incorporated, a later source, state that the
events described in the adventure happen five years after both
Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. Since the
latter is explicitly set in 1491 DR, and considering this answer by
Ed Greenwood about dating the adventure, this wiki will use 1491
DR for events related to this sourcebook.
