@TheEdVerse Does Eveningstar have a coat of arms circa 1367? I'm using the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar module (love it) and one of the PCs is a bit of a heraldry nut. Also, I'm having difficulty figuring out how Cormyr treats non-human/-demihuman PCs. Any advice on that? Thanks!

Sure. Cormyr’s treatment of a PC will depend on their race (elves, dwarves, halflings, and gnomes are accepted, half-orcs are eyed with suspicion, and drow and all goblinkin [orcs, goblins, etc.] evoke a “run for your weapons 2)
…and sound the alarm and lock your doors” reaction).

Amazing! Thanks, Ed. I may have been a little forgiving with the local reactions to the kobold PC, then – Dunman has taken pity on her, with Tessaril (and others) following suit. Are my Evenors too soft? A LONE kobold, who's one PC in a properly chartered adventuring company, shouldn't be treated with hostility, but a local spy would be set to watch over the kobold, "just to be sure" (due to proximity to the Stonelands).#Realmslore
