His extensive collection of Hello Kitty merchandise? 
This is actually one I know off the top of my head.  |

His Hello Kitty collection aside, Kilvan's answer was what I was looking for. The floor is yours. |

The book Prayers from the Faithful has a good 2 & 1/2 pages that answers your question, but in brief, it is a magic clerical ritual "book". When moving sea water is allowed to lap over its surface it displays a list of priest spells. Touching one of the spell names will display the spell in full, like on a divine scroll.
I read up on it after I logged off this morning.
The answer to my question was actually Dread High Trident Meritid Archneie(Pg 84 of Cloak and Dagger. He believes that he found the Orglara)a descendant of Jorist Archneie.
I didn't know that the Orglara was in Prayers of the Faithful.
But now I know! |

And knowing is half the battle!
Seriously, that's part of the fun behind this Challenge: directly people to lore they didn't know about.   |

First Hint: Actually, he spent more than his life on that projet. Death did not stop him in the least (though a huge mass of ice did slowed him down). |

I think I know where to look for that one.
On a side note, I started a topic like this on the Wizards Forums.
Trying to generate some kinda Realmslore Disscussions over there.
Yes Wooly I pretty much Copy/Pasted the First post from this scroll with some modifications. |

I think I know this one. I knew what book it's in, though don't have it with me right now, I knew the picture and the organisation he's linked with. I just couldn't remember his name. Aargh! :( So then I Googled it.
Is it Lossarwyn the elven druid lich who somehow worships "nature" and has been linked with the Eldreth Veluuthra? He's in Champions Of Ruin. |

I looked it up and was waiting to answer if no-one answered before the time was up.
I know highly un-likely.
The "disease" he was looking to 'cure' was humanity ... |

Mindulgulph, but yeah, that's right. Gayrlana, called Lady Bloodsword, also a psionicist, leader of a mercenary company of mixed nonhumans and monstrous races.

Istanbul (not Constantinople)! Remember, every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople, so if you have a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.
