could a human paladin of tempus, serve a an additinonal god if he was a cleric of Waukeen? Kinda like a war dog/profiteer?DMs can rule as they like, but if I'm in the saddle: NO. A paladin of one deity is dedicated to that deity, as is a cleric. 1/2

Lay worshippers believe in, and can venerate, all deities, but clergy and paladins are dedicated. There are alliances among deities, though.

Thank you Ed! Always appreciate and love the knowledge for my players, game, and world building. 😀 A pleasure! Think of it this way: a DEITY may command or "lend" a mortal to the causes of another deity, but to be a cleric or paladin, …

…the mortal must dedicate themselves to 1 deity. Due to alliances (e.g. Triad) they may wind up aiding clergy and/or paladins of othergods

I have a question. An old question. Where was elminster during Shars Shadowstorm and the decimation of ordulin?Busy! See THE HERALD, my Sundering novel. (Its events overlap those of Paul Kemp's superb THE GODBORN, wherein Ordulin "bought it").

@ChrisPerkinsDnD sorry to bug you about this, but you mentioned a while ago that Omen Draun was going to be in a D&d story. Know the Title?

Omin Dran makes a brief appearance as a Lord of Waterdeep in the novel DEATH MASKS, by Ed Greenwood. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/cffikIhvaD

with the abundance of magical creatures(and magic for that matter) what sorts of cuisine does the sword coast specialize in?The Sword Coast specializes in fresh fish, for obvious reasons. Inland: still plentiful wild game, roasted with wild-growing herbs & berries

Also, if I may ask, how does the Dragon Tower compare to my favourite, the Tower High (stories, size etc).
~ GGHeh. Which "Tower High" ?

Hello Ed. I have a forgotten realms question.
Are there any large meteor craters on the face of Toril?Yes. Most of them are undersea or under the icecap (Endless Ice Sea).

Once again, thanks in advance- Can I ask how rich (coins and other liquid assets) are persons like Manshoon, Maaril, Malchor….. Harpell, Szass Tam? Millions? tens of millions? ~ Thanks GG

— Gareth ! (@garethgarfoot) July 10, 2017

Thanks to non-liquid assets (property) and influence/domination/menace, which allow all powerful mages (who want to) to control things…

…without owning them. For example, Szass Tam owns very little of Thay, but CONTROLS much of it. AND Thayan enclaves all over Faerun.

Once again, and as always many thanks. I love to hear snippets of realmslore about my favourites. I hope the questions are not a bother. ~GGOh, no, I love talking Realmslore. Sometimes I have to duck queries when I know something that can't yet be divulged due to NDAs, though.

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 10, 2017

I mean, What does the Staff of Waterdeep does when it is not in fragments, as a whole artifact?You need to find the great Knight Of The Living Dead gamebook, wherein that lore is detailed. I do have unpublished lore that augments…
