No doubt some of you are aware of the village of Wormtower, in Cormyr. A place so named for a ruin in the village center, one comprised of the bones of a long dead dragon, the bones of an equally long dead wizard, the cracked and broken remnants of stone pillars and rubble, and magical treasures...

Continuing with the newest list of ten adventuring company names, here is #9 on the list: 9. The Tempest Maidens of the Thunder Peaks Active over the last decade among the storm-ravaged tors of the Thunder Peaks, this unchartered adventuring band has been sighted only a handful of times...

Continuing with the newest list of ten adventuring company names, we have: 7. The Sunset Seven No relation to the adventurer heroes that terrorized Zhentarim caravans on the eastern slopes of the Sunset Mountains over a century ago, this band of chartered adventurers operates out of the...

This is cool. I could get a lot of gaming miles out of one or two of the spiral bound battle mats.

Continuing with the newest list of ten adventuring company names, we have: 4. The Moon Knights of Semberholme Vengeance rides the minds of the Moon Knights, for the schemes of the dragon Thraxata have left too many corpses to rot on Semberholme’s borders. The dead did not ask for champions...

Hello EN Worlders, The pandemic has hit everyone hard. It's certainly hit me in the wallet--I've noticed my DMs Guild sales have gone down this year. Pretty sure other people's wallets are a little thinner, too. So, I've decided to make all of my Cormyr products on the DMs Guild free. We...

If you are a player or Dungeon Master in need of Cormyrean surnames for a character or NPC, or if you are a DM in need of a War Wizard name to give to an NPC, I've started a list of such things on the EN World wiki. The list content is drawn from official sources. I will update these lists from...

Tracy Hickman shares a powerful story about the meaning of Dragonlance on his website, and why a soldier gave away his Bronze Star and Purple Heart. https://trhickman.com/meaning-of-dragonlance/?fbclid=IwAR3ogGLYYxGsDCk_yOsYtx43ZDR1Uwzt6sECapxqbqZ0wZsZgxANBU5jnDg

As I have no campaign running at the moment, let’s assume a small town at the start of Springtime… The local temple is readying three of its priests to travel in three separate directions. Two will carry small parcels, while the third will transport a scroll case. The contents are known only to...

So, Who Spied On Ostramagarus? Who Were His Rivals? Who Betrayed Him? Some Ideas... A dragon or two. Mayhap a dragon directed its human servants to use Ostra's hideaways for its own purposes. Perhaps these hideaways were enhanced with yet more monsters teleported in by the dragon. Or maybe a...

What Was Old Ostra Up To? Ostramagarus the merchant has retired to Waymoot, in Cormyr. 1. How did he make his coins? By anticipating shortages of goods and being first to market to end the shortage. Later in his merchant career he began to engineer short-term shortages of goods, then swooped...

My first character died by spear, too.

Thank you Jesus! 🙏

"Voices that speak suddenly out of empty air to herald the awakening of magic. For example: “Ah, more intruders. Let the deaths begin.”" I am stealing this.

No doubt because Mystra has an interest in the Mage Royals. I believe it was Mystra who granted Vangey the power to conjure up a seat made of force by a simple act of will. (This ability revealed in "Beyond The High Road" if I remember correctly.) That way he could be made to sit and learn...

In one of the Mages and Sages interviews featuring Brian Cortijo, I heard a bit about the burghers of Waymoot all dying at the same time in the wake of the time of troubles--the idea being they were all secretly assassins. This led me to wonder about the kind, and the extent, of influence the...

These rules came about in 1188 DR, yes? Plenty of time for Royal blood to quietly travel into the wider Realms. In response to one of my questions, Ed replied that Cormyr has experimented more than once with stasis magic. Who's to say they didn't lose (or rather, forget) a royal or two along...

Those are some good ideas. Another to add: There may have been more than one Obarskyr employing longevity magic who simply took on the guise of an offspring after the offspring reached maturity. The offspring may then have been spirited away by the Mage Royal of the time, there to found a...
