@TheEdVerse I started this account just to ask you a couple questions, (for now.)
First, you said, some…months ago, that smokeless powder doesn't work in the Realms..(although it's not explosive…technically). Does Kossuth eat the power of internal combustion engines, too?— Random.Queriant (@RandomQueriant) June 16, 2019

It’s not Kossuth who nerfed gunpowder in the Realms, it’s Gond. As explained in a Tweet thread May 29th (I can dredge it up if you’d like).
Smokepowder (which is not the same thing as the “smokeless powder” used with firearms here on Earth) does work in the Realms Internal combustion engines do work on the Realms as long as your gasoline and oil (lubricant) hold out. Which means 2-strokes, which can run (badly) on fish oil and the like, have a longer life than the computerised, fuel-injected car engines of today.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 17, 2019

Yes, this is official Realmslore because Gary Gygax and Dave Sutherland and I tag-teamed a charity D&D game set in the Realms once, in which hunters from modern Earth inadvertently took their open “Springbok” runabout motorboat through a gate into the Realms 4)
Kossuth does drink napalm and other flame-boosting substances, yes.
As for someone who doesn't venerate any FR deity dying in the Realms…it depends. Sometimes they get "adopted" by a close-to-their-faith FR deity, and more often Kelemvor sends their soul…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 17, 2019

…'home' (through a gate/portal, to their own world). In rare cases, the body gets sent, too…the origin of some of the unexplained deaths on Earth, where a body not clad for such surroundings gets found on a glacier, desert mesa, dormant volcanic caldera, etc.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 17, 2019
The priests of Kossuth will TELL you it was Kossuth. It seems Kossuth left them with that impression. ;}
