Also, from this link : <a href="http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1854&&whichpage=1#30938" target="_blank">http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1854&&whichpage=1#30938</a> it emerges that THO owns a copy of said contract (sure, she could be lying and making everything up, but I mean, what would be the point of that?).Besides, this matter is non neglectable, and the info about Ed's word being canon has been told multiple times and on multiple occasions (as I said, even at a GenCon panel). If it weren't the case, surely Ed or anyone else would have clarified. Especially since he and THO contact each other quite often (she is one of his players in his original world campaign, IIRC).Perhaps this is something that Ed required as part of the contract... Also, it is not as meaningless as you make it to be. I have made an example in another post. There are matters (basically the major stuff) where Ed will say only what WotC has agreed on (for example, if a deity is back or not), but this is a way for details on other matters, which DMs/players could be interested in, but that aren't and (by their nature) wouldn't easily be published in books (for example, the details on how a religious ritual is performed, sayings, typical food, attitudes in certain religious communities or towns/regions towards certain matters or other stuff like that), to have an ''official'' source. Or in this current state of the Realms, with WotC basically refusing to give a broad update of the setting, Ed's word essentially is the only official source that we have (when he doesn't run into NDAs).</blockquote>
