Hint: The one who created him is not mortal. The one who destrys him is.

P.S. I hope our French friend "belikes" my hint

Thanks. This next question will probably be an easy one for all of you learned sages, but I was reading this tonight and thought it interesting.

Who/what is the guardian of the Calimemnon Crystal?

Correct. Baylox (LN male Mulan human Wizard14/Archmage3), the reigning authority on Okothian magics, frequently visits Azun, as noted on page 114 of Serpent Kingdoms. The floor is yours.

Next one :
This former Zhentilar officer purchased an inn in the garrison and, with the help of a sergeant, led a 100-people band of like-minded soldiers, and their families to the Silver Marches in order to retire.
Who is this officer ?

Thanks Wooly. I wasn't sure it was written in an understandable enough way.

Good Question - it wasn't where I expected it to be (the FRCS, where I first read of the 'Zhent Settlers').

However, with a little bit of digging I found Trevis Uhl, one of two Zhent Leaders that settled in Newfort (Silver Marches, pg.81). The name of his tavern is The Hero's Reward.

I'll wait for the confirm before I ask a question (and I have to find one, anyway).

Thanks Mark.

You're right.

... And the inn that Trevis ran in ZK before leaving was The Defiant Gesture.
Several sources also quote this piece of Realms :
Ruins of ZK
Rand's travelogue - Personalities of the Silver Marches.


Next one Mark?...

After my last debacle, I'll try to use a source definately FR, and keep the question simple (I hope).

These creatures are "heavy, well muslced herd animals resembling large yaks" - name them.

Rothe?

I said it should be easy... not a complete give-away.

That was a direct quote from the source, BTW - large means LARGE.

Hint: They live in the far north.

If the second hint is "its breath stinks", the answer only can be The Giant Space hamsters !!

I'll have you know my breath usually smells like wintergreen or vanilla, and occasionally like tacos.

Hint #2 (really #3): They aren't just mentioned in text - they have an MC sheet in the product they appear in!

I had really thought this was an easy one, but I suppose this particular 2e source isn't as popular as most. If no-one gets it soon, I'll post a pic of the ugly beast (maybe that will jog some memories).

Krotter. Giantcraft, page 124.

I was looking in The Great Glacier (because "far north" wasn't The North) when I saw Giantcraft sitting on the shelf. I figured it was a good place to look, and I was right!
