[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7871358, member: 1095"] Yes, though not worded as such as there is no intellectual movements in the FR called the enlightenment or communist theory. I’m not sure the difference in your statement here? :P But seriously, Representative Republics? I can’t think of one off the top of my head in current timelines. It’s not “thousands of years of history” of direct linear development and history. The Realms is in 1489 DR, which is exactly what it means for human reckoning. They are approximately 1500 years past the massive destruction and collapse of Last great human civilization of Netheril which was a kind of Italian City-State concept, but the cities were all on upside down flying mountain tops... So they are still roughly in the monarchs phase with some places being relatively “small” and egalitarian, and others as theocracies, and others as oligarchy’s and magocracy’s and monarchical magocracy, etc. etc. The mythal over Waterdeep has a key tied to it, the [URL='https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonstaff_of_Ahghairon']Dragonstaff of Ahghairon[/URL] which can allow dragons entrance past the mythal’s ward/effect. It is used judiciously to allow dragons and dragon-blooded entrance to the city Nd can be revoked at any time by the wielder of the staff. [/QUOTE]
