Dam Loudly Heer, an inhabitant of Farrog, was the Head of the Thieves' Guild there. As such, she was the Mistress of the Guild of Thieves' members.[1]

Dam Loudly Heer had very long hair[2] and was referred to as "the old hag" by a member of the Guild who felt that the Head of the Guild was prejudiced against him.[3]

In The Fiends of Nightmaria[]

Upon the usurpation of the Farrog throne by the new King, Bauchelain the First, the Head of the Thieves' Guild's was amongst those individuals arrested and taken to the crypts of the Royal Palace of Farrog. Two days later, the thieves of the 'Party of Five' gathered together in "Pink's Tavern" to plan the rescuing of their Mistress. It was decided that the group would make the attempt to free Dam Loudly Heer that very night.[4]

Despite a variety of setbacks - both major and minor[5] - the 'Party of Five' succeeded in infiltrating the bowels of the Royal Palace.[6][7] Finally stumbling into Korbal Broach's Chamber of Collections, they encountered Bauchelain's partner in his guise as Farrog's new Grand Bishop. Broach was able to help the 'Party of Five' achieve their stated goal of rescuing the Head of the Thieves Guild by presenting them with Dam Loudly Heer's severed head. Unphased, the group still considered the mission a success and swinging the Guild Mistress' head around by her long hair, Symondenalian Niksos considered making the improvised club his new signature weapon.[8]

The 'Party of Five' then managed to retrace their steps back to the postern gate, outside which they found chaos reigning in the streets of Farrog. Bauchelain and Korbal Broach had blindly provoked a war with neighbouring Nightmaria and that Imperial Kingdom had sent its overwhelming military forces in response. To clear their escape route to the city's gate, the two necromancers had unleashed a horde of undead on their own citizens. Among the undead that attacked the Party of Five as they ran for safety was Dam Loudly Heer's headless corpse.[9][10]
