Zadro Ichlen

 is a dwarven toymaker living in Heartmoor Hamlet, Marquet. She runs the Knot Forgotten store, out of which she sells toys and antiques sold to her and that she created herself from wood. She is originally from Uthodurn, but she left around 823 PD to pursue a change of direction in life. Like Chetney Pock O'Pea, she was mentored by Oltgar, with whom she now has an antagonistic relationship.

As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Zadro is an older dwarf woman who is tanned by outdoor life and has sun damage and sun-scarring across her forehead and nose. Her hair is dark drown with streaks of white along the sides of her face, and she has a narrow tufted beard that she styles in a braid. She wears simple clothing. She is kindly and sweet to those who visit her store. However, when Chetney Pock O'Pea mentioned Oltgar to her, she grew deeply hostile toward Chetney and paranoid, apparently believing that Chetney was an ally of Oltgar's. It is suggested that she is prepared to defend herself at a moment's notice, as she moved her hand toward her hip upon noticing Chetney do the same possibly to draw a weapon.

Background
Zadro Ichlen lived in Uthodurn, Wildemount with her family, and she was trained as a toymaker there. She left the city to pursue a change in the direction of her life around 823 PD and eventually came to Heartmoor Hamlet in Marquet. She worked at the Knot Forgotten with Oltgar, who trained her. She said that he nearly ruined "my business" before he suddenly left for the port of Sapiro Haven. She continued to work at Knot Forgotten selling toys and antiques sold to her and that she chiseled herself from wood, and she was still in Heartmoor Hamlet in 843 PD.

Campaign Three
Zadro was visited in her store by Imogen Temult and Ashton Greymoore, who were searching for useful items for an upcoming heist at the Twilight Mirror Museum. She sold them a creepy clown marionette she created that they wanted for Laudna, a jack-in-the-box with a devilish doll, and a box of spiky metal toy pieces. While they were there, she mentioned that she worked with Oltgar. Imogen relayed this to Chetney Pock O'Pea and encouraged him to visit Zadro. Chetney, with Orym, visited Knot Forgotten two days later. Chetney flattered Zadro over her craftwork and bought a wooden wyvern she created, and she told him that she trained as a toymaker in Uthodurn. When Chetney asked if she knew Oltgar while in Uthodurn, she grew hostile, apparently prepared for violence, and distrusted that Chetney disliked Oltgar. She vehemently said she intended to never return to Uthodurn, and the two of them agreed to pretend they never met. She refused to sell Chetney anything else but accepted further compliments on her store. As Chetney left, she told him to warn Oltgar that she kept a blade for him and that he is not welcome.
