Vedoran was an accomplished Shadar-kai warrior from Ikemmu in the Shadowfell. Although most inhabitants of Ikemmu worhip Tempus, Vedoran didn't have strong faith in any god. He utilized Beshaba's temple for healing and schemed with Traedis, Beshaba's priest, to start an uprising in the city. In 1479 DR, Uwan appointed Vedoran the leader of an expedition to investigate the disappearance of a scouting party lead by the witch Ilvani. He was accompanied by several young Shadar-kai warriors including Ashok, who had been found near death in the Shadowfell several months previous.
