Mittens

Mittens is a sailor currently serving in the Waterdeep navy, having been impressed into service off the Serpentwind Coast. Known for his maritime yarns and rowing skills, he serves as a minor but memorable figure in the northern voyages across the Sword Coast.

Role in the Northern Expedition

During the journey of the Magnificent Five to the frozen reaches of the North, they secured passage aboard the vessel The Providence Queen. Upon reaching the hazardous waters near the Throat of the World Mountains, Captain Eriac refused to navigate the ship any closer to the towering ice floes of the Sea of Moving Ice. Mittens was the crewman who rowed the party ashore in a small landing dinghy, depositing them onto a lonely pebble beach beneath the shadow of the mountains.

Lore and Tales

While rowing the party to shore, Mittens regaled them with tales of the ship’s past. Most notably, he shared a legend of a previous group of adventurers who had commandeered The Providence Queen to wage war against a legendary kraken.
