Perhaps the Sea of Corynactis could be located on Abeir now?
That would make the Shalarin from there...
Just a thought... stop flinging stuff aat me!  |

He was a Harper! At least, according to page 71 of my copy of The Code of the Harpers he was. If that changed in subsequent lore I haven't gotten that far in the long catch-up yet.  |

Well done Christopher, the floor is yours.
I've decided more recently to ask questions on this thread that lead people to oft-forgotten lore. That roster of Harpers and Harper friends is an absolute goldmine of realmslore.

Agreed. I often referenced that particular listing while running my heavily-oriented "Harpers in Calimshan" campaign about five years ago. It's a shame some of those tidbits weren't fully followed up elsewhere in the Realmslore.
On the plus side though, it gave me the chance to plot out my own course for a few of them.

Cool, cool. (Y'know I missed it if there was a rules change to the game declaring some editions okay and some not, can somebody clarify that?)
Here's my question.
This "sixth son of minor nobility from the North" spent decades adventuring in Cormyr and the Dalelands, seeing his last major action in the tumult leading up to and following the death of Azoun IV. What was his name, and where did you find it?

When the challenge was started, 4E wasn't even out yet. I ruled it out because no one had it, and I wanted to wait until people had a chance to get it.
That is no longer the case.
So 4E questions are now being allowed. |

| Oh, hey, this is interesting. What do we do if more than one answer fits? In this case, I'm not positive it does (I don't know enough about how and where Danilo Thann "saw his last action"), but it might. He's not the guy I've got in mind, anyway. |

Does the answer fit? I don't recall Danilo spending "decades adventuring in Cormyr and the Dalelands"... |

| I don't know whether Danilo fit or not, WR, 'cause I don't know much about the guy! But, Fillow's second answer is correct! But since he's disappearing back into training land I suppose somebody else will need to step up? |

Well, it's been a while since I asked a question...
This "cheerfully rowdy dance hall" is known for its exotic dancers, which include a female tabaxi and a female centaur, and for a back room, where male dancers -- including satyrs -- dance for the enjoyment of women. Name this tavern. |

Answers found, scribes:
That's the Velvet Mail in Mistledale
o' most furry of hamsters.
Okay, my turn:
There is at least one confirmed ingrediant in Forgotten
Realms lore on the creation of a Weave mythrallar,
what is it? |

Velvet Veil. Close enough.

Its almost right, could you be a little more
specific? |

Greetings Friend Knight:
While that is a possibility, that is not an ingrediant that
I have seen actually named in the literature. |

What book is the below from?
"Mages are superior to other morals for they alone have felt, raw and unfettered by the guiding hands of deities, the power that moves and gives life to all things. It is right that wizards rule."
Note: By this, I mean the book in game, and you can reference the out of game one to prove it! |
