I feel I should add a clue, but to be honest I can't come up with one that won't make it too easy
And here is the question again: Who is the, so far, only named "talent scout" for the Moonstone Mask? |
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.

Okay, so sticking with the Soft Claws, would it be Jhavaerra Erbrand?
Re-reading Wyrms of the North I think I got them switched round. |

| That would be correct my one-handed friend. The floor is yours. |

Ok, seeing as I can't seem to find the reference i'm after for the trivia question. Here's another easy one:
What was the temptation of Elminster? |

EDIT: It involved Azuth and certain ominous visions |

My answers are rarely correct. They are often humorous (or so I hope! ), but rarely correct.
I don't really recall the answer, on this one. I've not read those books in a long time, and I'm not a fan of them, either. |

Not really sure on how to make a better hint without giving it away.
Basically the visions were sent by Mystra and involved Elminster stabbing Azuth in the back.
What possible temptation could that represent? |

And here I thought the temptation was to continue wearing woman's clothing.
After all, you don't think that Elminster started that trend for Wizard's to wear 'dresses'?
He found it strangely... liberating. |

I'm home now and I've got my library at my fingertips...
OK, try this one for size:
Who is believed to have once been taught by the human wizard known as the Sraedar? |

Wasn't that the Ninja Turtles? |

Time for a hint?
Q:Who is believed to have once been taught by the human wizard known as the Sraedar?
HINT:The Sraedar's rumoured resting place is also said to be the tomb of "a lost princess of fabled Anauria" or "the long ago bandit warlord Loardrin" depending on which tavern tales you listen to.
Not so much a hint to the answer as to where the answer can be found. |

Sorry, been away from the computer for a while.
Hinty time!

HINT:The Sraedar's rumoured resting place is also said to be the tomb of "a lost princess of fabled Anauria" or "the long ago bandit warlord Loardrin" depending on which tavern tales you listen to.
HINT: Elminster has a history with the person in question and he guided me to the Old Tomb - just one of the lost places, familiar haunts, and strange sites in the lands of Faerun. |

Well, I can see this isn't going very well. Serves me right for picking something obscure I suppose. I think it's time for more easy clues.

HINT: The Sraedar was mentioned by Elminster when he was speaking of something called Shattershree's Rest. |

I'll have a question shortly.
Two, actually... the first one is definately realmslore, but the source may preclude it from this contest.
So I'll just use it as a 'bonus question' (and be in-shock if anyone gets it).
As for my quick answer - that was a bit unfair; I used that particular plothook for the basis of my last campaign. |

I was trying to come-up with a good one last night, but I got very tired, and the only one I could think of isn't much of a challenge, I think -
Who is/was The Watcher?
Bonus Question:
In the Realms, what is the city of Rauthaven famous for?
I don't think even Ed of Krash could get that one, but Sage might..  |
