Sorry, been off-line a few days.
Right, a clue that doesn't give it away directly: the answer is in a 2nd Edition book that has no maps in it.
Does that narrow it down at all? |

That does narrow it down some, IM still clueless, but that eliminates Volo's Guides, and The North and The Great Glacier, which is where I was focusing my search.
Hmmmm a 2e book with no maps? Ahha got it, er no wait theres a map in that one, this is going to be harder than I thought! |
I survived the Spellplague and all I got was this stupid sig. |

He must have been awfully small, to fit into a bottle...  |

OK, scribes! Time for a new question:Who possessed (circa 1370 DR) the sword Namarra, intending to use it as a gift to an aspiring king?
Good luck!
EDIT: BTW, this includes your first hint, since I will be at work all day tomorrow. |

Alright, obviously it's time for a new clue: The person to whom the owner intends to give the sword is a descendant of the Torlath dynasty.
Good luck, Scribes! |

This doesn't happen to be a questioned derived from a computer game, would it? 'Cos you might want to take a quick look at the first page of this thread.
I haven't seen anything about Namarra since its theft from Tamper Tencoin.
Nope, this is bonafide canon Realmslore: It caught me WAY off guard when I saw it. It's almost hiding in plain sight, really.
So I guess it's time for today's clue:The current owner is a nobleman and a courtier, holding one of the highest posts in his nation |

OK, new hint: The current owner is a very overweight human male who is married to a younger woman of great beauty
I'm honestly a little astounded that Wooly hasn't gotten this one yet: So; Hamster-in-chief, do you know this and are holding back, or have I actually stumped you as well? |

Oh, I know who it is... But I don't know which book it comes from, and I've not got a question of my own, so I'm leaving it out there.
Besides, this last clue really narrows it down. |

Well, everything leads me to think of the fall of Mithral Hall in Bruenor's younger days. But I have no clue of the product where it was written, and if there is any special detail that could be the true subject of the question. |

Hint: The cover of the product in which this story can be found has a subtitle of sorts: "In the darkness dwell things darker still."
Bonus Hint: It was published in 1989. Barely.
Ah, that clue did it. If this question remains out there, when I get home from work, I'll take it. |

They witnessed Bruenor earning the first notch in his blade -- his first kill, an ettin near Mithril Hall. 'Twas in the short story "The First Notch," pages 44-9 of Dragon 152.

Ooooh! Ooooh! I was only reading through this section yesterday. But since I'm notoriously unreliable when it comes to preparing my own questions, I'll leave this for another scribe. |

Nice one WR
Aragus is a Helmed Horror, albeit a free willed intelligent one
The most recent lore is here towards the bottom of the page

Indeed. He's first described on page 42 of Halls of the High King.
I didn't expect such a quick answer!
