[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 796150, member: 2020"] 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.
