Time for a hint about the 72nd question of the quizz :

- The second Cynosure I quoted is a different one from that used in the first sentence...

I remind the question :
72- Everybody knows that the only way in and out of Cynosure is through portals. But it exists a manner to penetrate the Cynosure without any specific power nor divine intervention.
What is the way to do it and where does one have to go to do it ?

I'll take a stab at this one, as it's puzzled me for several days.

As you've hinted, Fillow, there are two separate Cynosures.

One is the neutral demiplane in the Ethereal Plane which contains the meeting place of the Faerunian pantheon (or, more specifically, the Circle of Greater Powers) [Faiths and Avatars, p23].

Another is the former Temple of the Overgod Ao, erected in Waterdeep by the cult of Ao after the Time of Troubles and now used as a rental hall by the Lords of Waterdeep [Faiths & Avatars, p30; City of Splendors, p60-61].

Therefore, it's possible for all to enter Cynosure (Waterdeep's rental hall) while practically impossible to enter Cynosure (demiplane in the Ethereal).

How did I do, Fill?

Happy to read you agian monknwildcat !
Indeed, you're right.
One does not need divine intervention to penetrate the Waterdeep's Cynosure !

The floor is yours to ask the 73rd question of the quizz...

Thanks, Fillow!

Next question...

Question 73: This scion of one of Faerūn's most notorious families married into a neighboring ruling family and was wrongly villainized for the resulting nigh destruction of that dynasty.

edit: complying with Fillow's format

Monk', the question, with bold characters, bold ones !

And what about adding the number of the question ? (In fact, it could help me when I copy the questions in to the FR Trivia Challenge, questions and answers thread !)

I would say the source where we will find the answer could be the TSR1159, Lands of intrigue?...
I will wait for your help to look for it. (a simple yes or no could be a quite good beginning !)

2nd Hint: Our maligned one proved tethered to her husband's dynasty.

My apologies for not earlier posting further clues, faithful Fillow.

But, yes, you're on the mark with the source I used to generate this trivia question!!!

Oh, another fave NPC!

I had a bit of a hard time finding this one. I don't know why I thought of some of the related sources, but not the one this question comes from.

It's not even been two weeks since I answered one... I know I'm in the safe zone, by my own rules, but I'm still giving someone else a chance. Besides, I once more failed to have a question prepared.

I think the answer is : Priamon "Frostrune" Rakesk

I think it is from Lands of Intrigue.

Who struck a deal with the Blackstaff to deal with Frostrune rather than "taking care of him" themself?

Do I misunderstand or the new question deals with the same character than the previous one ?
And... is it not a good day for a hint ?

He was a blue dragon

He is now something that fits the Twisted Rune's style better!
