I'd like to claim any forces closely related to Candlekeep which aren't claimed already. I'm sure thats ok with ppl?
Also what or who are the Heralds? The name sounds pretty interesting.
Edit: And btw Edena, my PC's name is Seamus Campbell, he's a neutral good Bard 10/ Weightless Foot Ninja 5 (I can't remember whether a bard could take that PrC at after lvl 10, I think they can).

The Dwarves of the North (PL 3)
Khelben Arunsun Blackstaff and his Harpstar Organization (PL 3)
The Lord's Alliance (PL 10)

Thanks Bugbear. This post was going to be a request for the Sharn, but your handing over their control is a nice touch.
Pretty much sums up Orinil's realm of influence. However, his last publishing was a non-magical gazette on economics, trade and investment aimed at merchants, traders and nobles rather than Serpenteye's more academic books on economics. This gazette (and future editions) makes use of his networks extensive information base and contains a few subtle misinformations designed to manipulate markets and provide situations that Orinil's trading house can capitalise on.
Edena, what will the Sharn require from me in return for sponsorship? Just continued information? I dont have the FRCS so I only have a rough idea about the Sharn, but one impression that I've gotten is that they are particularly mysterious and secretive.

NOTICE:
I am suffering from chronic fatigue and memory loss.
There is a good possibility that I am anemic.
I am going, tomorrow, to take a test to see whether this is true.
Why is it likely that I am anemic, other than the chronic fatigue and memory loss?
Because I am subject to chronic blood loss, which occurs several times each day (I am not going into the nature of the loss, or why it occurs.)
Up until now, I have not revealed this fact, so do not ask William or anyone else why they have not divulged it.
It is much more difficult, now, for me to do what I am doing than it was when I ran the 3rd IR.
However, I will persevere.
The 4th IR will continue.
I'm a stubborn cuss if I am nothing else.
I would daresay that most of you, in this IR, are more energetic, better DMs, and brighter than I am.
But you are not more stubborn than I am.

It would appear that some of you are unfairly short of nations and peoples, while others have many nations and peoples.
I will work to rectify this situation.
Until I can, please work with each other, folks.

The Heralds are an organization that was founded after the Fall of Myth Drannor, and after all civilization collapsed in northern Faerun.
Their purpose was to salvage all that could be salvaged, collect historical knowledge into well protected libraries, and preserve that knowledge (and those items) until civilization arose again.
The Harpers were the working arm of the Heralds originally, actively doing the archeological work, exploring ruins, adventuring, and providing military protection to the Heralds.
When you think of the Fall of Myth Drannor, think of the fall of Rome as it related to western Europe. The results in northern Faerun were just about as enormous as the Fall of Rome in western Europe.
Also, the Fall of Myth Drannor began the final decline of elves on the continent of Faerun. After the Fall, only Evermeet remained as a truly strong elven nation.

You know, Festy Dog's question was a good one.
I wish more people would ask questions like that.
What is this nation?
Who lives in this nation?
What is this organization?
Who is in this organization?
It would bring the Forgotten Realms more alive, if those questions were asked, and answers were given, and then people would care more (or at least understand more) about the scenario, and the IR would be more fun.
And some of you have much in the way of Realmslore: you could answer the questions as readily as I could, or better.
So, by all means ... ask questions (what is Chessenta like? Who lives there?)
And, someone take the time to answer the question, would you?
Use this thread to do it. I can still work on the lists while people ask and answer questions.
Then you will know what you are running. It will not be a name. It will be images of people, of cities, of cultures.
For example, ask Timothy about Zakhara. I'm quite sure he could give you a wealth of information about Zakhara, the Land of Fate.
Or, ask where Skullport is, and who runs it ... you might be surprised at the answers to those questions.

Edena just make sure you get yourself well... that is the most important thing... anyways, i think I have a decent amount of power... and I am pretty knowledgeable on Evermeet, and I will be consulting my FRCS for the rest of the stuff... so i can bring them to life more fully I suppose

Inez, even I am vague about the Sharn.
I have searched futilely for Realms products that detail them.
What is well known is that the Sharn are the supreme enemy of the phaerimm, and it is the Sharn who prevented the phaerimm from turning ALL of Faerun into one giant desert. (Instead of one fairly big desert called Anauroch.)
The Sharn created a magical prison around Anauroch which sealed the phaerimm in. That prison held for over 1,500 years, but recently it broke and the phaerimm were free again.
Why the Sharn are not acting to contain the phaerimm again is not known, considering the magnitude of the power and threat of the phaerimm.
In the IR, the Sharn are concerned with the welfare of the surface races, and with the containment of the phaerimm.
The Sharn are givers of advice, but they are not ominscient, and they need information from the surface - for reasons unknown they cannot abide on the surface for very long.
They make no demands of your character, Inez.
They do believe your character should return Pasteur, however, to the Dauntless, after they have spoken with him.
If anyone else has information on the Sharn, could you please post it?
Inez and I both are curious as to what someone in the know would have to say.
