Frilynt

Frilynt is a fictional character from the *Dungeons & Dragons* (D&D) fantasy role-playing game, specifically introduced in the *Forgotten Realms* campaign setting. Created by author R.A. Salvatore, Frilynt is a notable figure in the history of the *Realms*, particularly within the context of the *Sword Coast* region. He is often referenced in lore as a legendary adventurer and a key figure in the early development of the city of Waterdeep.

Frilynt is best known for his role in the founding of the *House of the Sword*, a prestigious guild and later noble house in Waterdeep. According to legend, he was a skilled warrior and a visionary leader who helped establish the city’s early governance and defense systems. His name is sometimes associated with the *Sword Coast’s* golden age, a period marked by exploration, trade, and cultural flourishing. While Frilynt himself is not a major character in modern *Forgotten Realms* lore, his legacy endures in the form of the *House of the Sword*, which continues to influence Waterdeep’s political landscape.

The character’s origins are somewhat vague, as *Forgotten Realms* lore is expansive and often contradictory. Some sources suggest Frilynt was a human warrior from the *Sword Coast*, while others imply he may have been a member of an earlier, more mystical order. His exact appearance, backstory, and personal life remain largely unspecified, reinforcing his status as a legendary figure rather than a fully fleshed-out character. Despite this, Frilynt is frequently cited in D&D materials as a symbol of heroism and leadership in the *Realms*.

Fans and Dungeon Masters often reference Frilynt in campaigns set in Waterdeep or the broader *Sword Coast* region, using his name to evoke themes of adventure, legacy, and the enduring impact of early pioneers. His influence extends beyond fiction, serving as a point of reference for players exploring the rich history of the *Forgotten Realms*.
