Hi Ed! Are there any customs in Faerun similar to the Japanese one of hanging a paper doll talisman in the window to wish for good weather/lack of rain (and hanging it upside down to wish for the opposite)? Doesn’t have to be weather, just *anything* vaguely similar. In the Dales and Moonsea North, one hangs something of silver (e.g. a coin) in the window to keep undead (ghosts and wraiths, especially) at bay.
In the Sword Coast North, hanging a blade (of anything, not just a weapon) that has drawn orc blood may keep raiding goblinkin away.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 26, 2018
