Nadul DaRoni is the gnomish Leonardo da Vinci. He has a chapter in Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, and got a write-up in the WotC websites's old Realms Personalities articles.

Maybe it's the other way around -- maybe DaVinci is the human Nadul DaRoni.

Looking forward to it, Artemas! I had an idea to expand it too, but there was more lore than expected and I had to clean up the page instead. Then I forgot to come answer the question here last week. :)
Anyway, I'm not claiming the question, Iahn Qoyllor got it first. |

| I've set a couple of questions already BadCatMan and I didn't get the most important part - which real life character he was based on. I was going to suggest you setting a question but if you really don't fancy it then I can do the honours? |

Rabbits are more of a snack, its horses and elves that are their favourites.

Since there was no response to this question, I'll present another one: who is Frey Silverblade, and what is her relation with the city of Waterdeep?
(In time: Bartholemew the Sage hired a group of heroes to capture the "marsh monster", a cantobele, alive, where many were trying to kill the creature. It is in the Cantobele adventure in the 2e Forgotten Realms Book of Lairs, pages 21-23.) |

| One tip: she was in lands just south of the City of Splendors in the Year of the Wyvern. |

| Frey Silverblade is the Commander of the 3rd Company of the High Guards of Waterdeep and she is part of the alliance against the Hordes of Dragonspear. She appears in the Module of the same name. |

Thanks.
With the destruction of Jhaamdath, the elven High Mages above unknowingly shattered the underwater elven capital of Serôs. What was the name of the elven capital and in what year did this catastrophe occur? |

Capital was Coryselmal and year was -255 DR. They did it with a tidal wave, and the years is called, cleverly enough the Year of Furious Waves.
This is all in the Sea of Fallen Stars book. |
