And it's a line that's hard to forget (as I've just proven).

As for my question:

If you're on Murfroun Street and walk from it on to the Wagonrun and continues from there on to the High Ride, which Realms-city are you in?

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

And a hard one it'd appear

Clue: If you and your adventuring pals decide to settle down in the city, you may have to put yourself up in one of the following boarding houses until you can find somewhere a bit more private to stay: Gaskrel's, Ivyposts, Redbanners House, or Suldrah's.

If it so happens that the cleric in your party is a worshiper of Lliira, Milil, or Sune, he or she will definately want to check out the joint temple of those deities called "The Theatre of Joy," (actually, considering those three deities I think anyone, regardless of patron deity, is going to want to check that place out).

Well, now I know exactly which city it is... But I don't have that particular source!

Another clue:

The city's mayor is called Corlyn Braen.

Assuming the accuracy of my answer. Here is my question -:

Who am I?

I was the first wizard and shaper to create Shapers' spells.

I'll add a new clue each day until the question is answered.

looks like I've got me a stumper.. okay a real clue..

My work on Shaper's spells occurred during the fourth century DR. Despite many objections, the then ruler of my home city commissioned a number
of my works; some of which became iconic within the realm.
