What do I need to know?
I have ZERO knowledge of the Realms. I don't know who Elminster or Drizzt or whomever might be. I don't know what the spell plague is or how it affects the world. I am running this in 4e, and understand the Realms have undergone a change (Spell Plague I presume) in this edition. I also know that there is about a million years of back story that could be applied to any game set in the realms. And, while I understand the game is ultimately mine, I want to respect Ed Greewood's vision and intent.
I have the Neverwinter 4e book, the FR Campaign Setting/Player's Guide and a 2 hour each way commute. I can read and research stuff. Just point me int the direction of the stuff to read.
Here is my biggest question.
How important is the past/history of the Realms to the current plight of the citizens of Neverwinter?
Thanks guys! Y'all are awesome and can't wait for some awesome replies!
