Is there any canonical instances of time travel in the realms? I know a few sources dealing with Netheril, but think non-canon.No. :}

I see many ducks, but not two. Repeat, I see no paradox. Follow up question, were there canonical instances of time travel before someone time traveled? It IS before, and there are no canonical instances. There are just tales.

There’s a 4e scenario of Baba Yaga’s Dancing Hut, where she has a soviet ww2 tank in one of the rooms. Published in one of the Dragon magz That's no proof of time travel, but rather of travel between worlds.

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How many Masked Lords of Waterdeep are there/can there be at one time?

It goes up and down. There are fewer now, thanks to recent events (see DEATH MASKS, the new novel by @TheEdVerse ). https://t.co/HbanI5OsGD

…do other lords claim their holdings? I’m unclear how the masked lords work. If there is one novel that explains best, point me please. #dnd Death Masks shows us most re. the Masked Lords. But what "holdings"? Behind their lordships, all (usually) have "secret identities." Or to..

Thank you! It is helpful. Yes, I connected Lord with its usage as a holder of land in feudal settings. I will have a look at Death Masks.Because I am now curious as to how legislators would be chosen anonymously.
