As it relates to Cormyr, having a good collection of 2E and 3E books helps to run a campaign there every bit as easily for 4E as for 5E. Cormyr fared better than a lot if other places in the Realms when it comes to the Spellplague.

The free article linked to at the start of this thread (in the OP) includes a brief timeline to Cormyr over the century gap. I believe the Scribes at the Candlekeep forums have put together a timeline for the Realms over the 100 year gap.

I think I have had a player say something like that in one of my Realms campaigns, I just can't remember the circumstances. I do recall a time during the changeover from 3.0 to 3.5 when one of my players asked, "Does my character know about this errata?"

I just can’t let the list from the previous post stand as is. Let’s give five sentences or so of description to each of those adventuring bands. I might improve on the names too. Oh, and before I forget: Most of the places mentioned in the descriptions that follow are found in the left hand...

Sorry, double post.

Let’s make some more adventuring company names: 1. The Swordmaidens of Skull Gorge 2. The Friends of the Merchant 3. The Eight from Esparin 4. The Wyvern Riders 5. The Company of the Rusted Blade 6. The Company of the Finch 7. The Cliffjumpers of Skullwatch 8. The Shadows of the Reaching...

Never seen or heard the show. Mercer's advice is useful as a polite reminder that we're all in this together, and that some modes of behavior are more useful than others.

Given the fact that Erin has searched high and low for all Realmslore relating to Comryr--including finding the tiny corner of the internet where I had been working on a detailed and updated listing of all the rooms in the Royal Palace of the Purple Dragon, Suzail, Cormyr--in order to write her...

The Hall Of Living Statues Secrets are best kept close. The better to guard them that way. But dangerous secrets are best shared with trusted friends and allies, the better to share the danger, and the better to act swiftly and decisively when the secret threatens to burst its bonds and...

"Dragon Dreams Of The Forest Kingdom" 1. Catchy title, don't you think? 2. There are more dragons sleeping in lairs in the Thunder Peaks and Stormhorns than you might imagine--far more. 3. If all of these dragons were to wake up and go gallivanting through Cormyr, raiding and eating and...

Of course Awesome Names are Awesome. Game doesn't really work without them. ;)

Birds of the King’s Forest: The Dwarfbeard Finch Knowing something of the more mundane creatures and fauna to be found in places like the King's Forest, in Cormyr, is good for Dungeon Masters running campaigns where the Player Characters are low level. Likewise for generating encounters that...

Nice work Amatiel. I particularly like the part about Deep Gnomes having overthrown their Giantish masters. That conjures some pretty cool scenes and ideas in my head. Looking forward to your future posts in this thread. :)

From post #10 in this thread, I present to you Thallowood's Devil Hunters. ******** Thallowood’s Devil Hunters The Ranger Thallowood leads this band of expert fiend hunters and slayers. The Devil Hunters spent a decade scouring the deepest parts of Cormanthor of fiends and terrors on behalf...

Yon Wizard's Tower Is Not What It Used To Be. Many an independent mage* calls the Forest Kingdom home. Some dwell in Cormyr's three principal cities (Arabel, Marsember and Suzail), while others have settled in any of the several villages and trading towns that dot Cormyr's countryside and...

Regarding the thread' title: Blind people do not always get dogs or sticks. Some of them have learned to make clucking sounds and listen for the echo, and they move along just fine on their own. They even climb trees, ride bikes and go on hikes.

It's not objectively false, it's one claim among a handful made in the post you quoted. Claims are either objective or subjective. Hussar's claim is objective. Objective claims can be evaluated on two scales: strong to weak, and good to bad. The claim you quoted is good. It supports the...

I would tell the player that all of his spells that require a verbal component instead have a somatic component, while spells that already have a somatic c ok component are unchanged. I would also say that if the character is ever fully restrained (i.e., can't move) then any spells requiring a...

Warlock Fey Pact vis-a-vis The Dryad Queen Radanthe of Aloushe (King's Forest, Cormyr) If the examples given for Archfey and Great Old Ones that can serve as Warlock Patrons (and as found in the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide) don't work for you, you can always go with Queen Radanthe, ruler of...

Anchoring Spells With Magic Items 1. So...anchoring spells. Seems like magic items would make for good anchors to hang a spell on. Might help in games where there's a spare item that nobody is using, too. 2. What kind of spell to anchor? Hrm...I suppose a spell that targets the caster. Or...
