[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6757261, member: 54629"] You don't think that's a bit harsh? Most of the people in my Tyranny of Dragons campaign are new to D&D as well as the Realms. I've drip-fed them some setting info as we've gone along, but for the most part they haven't really delved that deeply into the details on their own, nor do I really expect them to. I certainly don't hold it against them. I've helped them out with details where it mattered - like I suggested that the elf rogue came from Evermeet and that the human noble fighter came from a patriar family in Baldur's Gate, and I suggested to my wife that her dwarf wizard come from Iltkazar, the dwarf kingdom under Tethyr that is ruled by a disguised silver dragon. They were all quite happy to go along with my suggestions. Oddly enough, the one player who has quite a bit of experience playing in the Realms is playing a character that is the least grounded in the setting. He's playing a goliath druid and I have no idea where his character came from - some mountain range somewhere. He's a "last of his tribe" sort, so it doesn't really matter, although I might suggest that maybe he came from the mountains near Parnast at an appropriate time ... [/QUOTE]
