Nashers



The Nashers are the first true antagonist faction met in the game after the tutorial's undead. They take their name from the legendary Lord Nasher Alagondar, who led victoriously the city against the invasion of Luskan. Their symbol, a minotaur head slain by a sword, remembers one of Nasher's battle when he defeated a minotaur alone, killing him by putting his sword into the beast's eye.

They are a violent faction of the anti-Neverember resistance group known as the Sons of Alagondor. Their leader, Arlon Bladeshapper, took their control after the violent death of the Sons previous leader Cymril, claiming to be a descendant of one of the Neverwinter Nine, Nasher's personal guard, and so the most rightful claimer of the throne. His second-in-command, the Uthgard barbarian Karzov, leads the rebel's forces in Blacklake District.

Of the rebel factions, the Nashers are among the most vicious in their methods. They seem more like a gang than a movement, and often clash with other rebel factions over their methods, having no qualms about using rioting, assassination, theft, and sabotage as weapons against Neverember, no matter how many innocent civilians are hurt by their actions.

=Appearences in the game= Nashers are found on the first quests in Protector's Enclave and all around the Blacklake District, which they took as their territory. Their basic units are made of Nashers Recruits and the Nashers Snipers, which forms the basic infantry and marksman of the Rebels. Their elite is instead composed by the brute Nasher Enforcers, six feet tall warriors with axes and shields, and the Nasher Hexers that can summon circles of flame under their enemies feet.

Stealing the Crown


The Nashers exploit Valindra's attack to sneak inside the crypts under the Hall of Justice Vaults, the former Temple of the now-dead justice god Tyr (now used by Lord Neverember to store the ancient treasures, relics and artifacts of the city) in order to steal the crown. However both them and the players meets resistance from the Undead. While the players confront the Guardian of the Nine, the Nasher agents Gothwan Cooper and Honor Reigh have time to steal the crown and escape. Honor is then confronted and defeated in the tunnels beneath the city. A letter is found on her body that leads the quest for the crown to Blacklake District.

Gothwan Kidnapped


After a brief investigation in the district's street during the quest Seeking a Suspect the players finds that Gothwan have been kidnapped by the Dead Rats gang. The heroes storms the Rat's hideout and free Gothwan, which felt betrayed by the rebels and decides to collaborate with the Neverwinter Guard.

Chasing Karzov


The players enters in the burning Nasher Safehouse with the agent Zoey Fargo to find clues about the location Karzov before the building crumbles. They reach the Nasher Headquarters in the last part of the District, where they find and defeat Karzov and retreve the crown.

The Tower District


Later on in the Tower District the players find a message on a dead courier. Captain Janros reveals that the message is about another group of Nashers organizing in the district's sewer led by the Half-Orc Karr Nevrim, a powerful ale lover warrior. During the quest Sewer Crawl Nevrim is defeated by the characters.
