Elements of Forgotten Realms - Open Submission Cheat Sheets

[Paka]

Could someone talk about, in thirty words or less each, any one or all of the following Forgotten Realms elements:

The Time of Troubles

Elminster

Myth Drannor

Thay

The Harpers

(the more obscure novel info or 2nd edition trivia thrown in the better)

Thanks.

Need I say that this is to study up for the open novel submission over at WOTC?

Wooo boy - you've left your run late.

There's barely two weeks left.

I'm a long way from a useful source of info on any of the listed topics. What strikes me most about your requests is that not one of these topics has anything to do with my submission. It makes me wonder if I'm on the right wavelength with mine.

I strongly recommend google. There really is too much info required to properly answer your request.

Could someone talk about, in thirty words or less each, any one or all of the following Forgotten Realms elements:

The Time of Troubles

Ao, overgod of the Realms, cast all the gods down to walk the world in material form, causing widespread chaos until a group of mortals ended the chaos.

Elminster

One of Mystra's Chosen, this ancient wizard still works to try and make Faerun a better place, though he is a teacher as much as a doer.

Myth Drannor

This ruined city was the capital of the ancient elven empire Cormanthyr. Long ago abandoned, it is now home to all sorts of dark and foul creatures, and lost treasures.

Thay

This nation is full of slaves and wizards. The highest are the Red Wizards, with the Zulkirs being the group of Red Wizards who lead the nation.

The Harpers

A not-so-secret organization dedicated to defending all that is good and true in the Realms. A recent schism led to the founding of a new group; the Moonstars.

It's kinda hard to do that when you don't want more than thirty words for each.

Thanks.

Always a pleasure.

Good luck with that!
