Dragon Heist poetry
1)
I comprehend contemporary culture Waterdhavian
And roll more drunks in alleys there than even Mirt and Volo can
I avoid Undermountain though I’m truly plucky and adventury
And avoid nobles’ revels because they’re all so last century— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 14, 2018
2)
In short in matters of coin, and debts, and obligations ephemeral
I am the very model of a fickle Waterdhavian chimerical
Aye, my coins and my noggin both happily sleep
In the better wards of the Deep— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 14, 2018
#FellowshipFridays I love how this man creates a story that just pulls you along without you ever noticing it. Like “oh I’ve been reading on Twitter for 30 mins and I just wanted to check my inbox.” Hats off to you good sirrah! Heh. These days, when so busy with writing projects (e.g. Creatures for Fate Of The Norns) I just sit down at the keyboard and write my tweets. So I'm making those tales up off the top of my head as I go. ;}
Hmm. Evidently I have a funny head.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 14, 2018

What would Twilight Hall do if they started receiving laundry and repair bills from a new Harper?
They'd pay them gladly, of course. And send a Harper to find out what her favorite garments were, and create multiple duplicates (High Lady Cylyria Dragonbreast loves clothing, and pays for such things out of her own fortune).

Oh! @TheEdVerse That’s wonderful! First a fishman stabs her, getting blood on a SILK shirt … and then there were those mud monsters belching slidge and exploding! It’s enough to ruin even the gods’ resolve & constitution. And her partner’s magic has its limits 😔 just to sate my language nerd side: this character is from Moonshaes. Novels tend to use a Hollywood Irish-Scots gaelic culture and accent. Do the MSs have own language or just a quirk riddled dialect, like filled with Thorass and Elvish or something?

Most in the Moonshaes speak a dialect of Common with local pronunciations (you can use Gaelic or other Celtic lilts, yes) and a few old local words from the Northmen (of Ruathym, et al), who raided there often in elder times.

What is Laeral’s current relationship with the Harpers?
One more question, if I may: What is Laeral’s current relationship with the Harpers? I’m guessing the Harper/Moonstars schism is long forgotten by all, but she’s not bothered to rejoin?Oh, no, Laeral is a Harper. But like the rest of the Chosen, she takes orders from Mystra, not from other Harpers. Think of her as an independent operator of the highest senior rank. (But she will aid other Harpers, providing refuge/hiding, healing, minor magic, etc.)

Is there a specific year that Dragon Heist is to take place within the chronology of FR?
is there a specific year (range of) that Dragon Heist is to take place within the chronology of FR?Without spoiling Dragon Heist, let me say that it can be played in any of the four seasons of a year, so the timing is slightly variable.
It takes place after the events of my novel DEATH MASKS, which is set in 1491 DR, The Year Of The Scarlet Witch.
Beyond that…Jeremy? ;}— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) October 4, 2018

“ANOTHER ring to rule them all?”
1)
“ANOTHER ring to rule them all? How falarking original! Do all of these dwarven mage-smiths possess NO originality at all? Or are they all so in love with tradition that they’ll endanger realms by making a portable…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 27, 2018

…destroy-all thingummy ANY dolt can steal or find, and traipse around with, using some of its powers without knowing or caring about consequences?”
“Well, kings do that all the time!”#epic fantasy “Yes, but they’re BORN to it, lad. We’re USED to them being reckless dolts, caring naught for the fates of the rest of us. That’s comfortingly USUAL, see?”
“Uh-huh. Well, this ruling ring is different.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 27, 2018
5)
“How?”
“Oh? Special colour to its glow? Flavoured, perhaps? Emits tunes that drive you mad, like a court bard?”
“No. This one isn’t portable.”
“How so? Even something stuck in a stone, like that fated sword, can be MADE portable.”#epic fantasy “Lad, you just need a sufficiently irresponsible wizard. Which is darned near all of them, come to think.”
“Well, this ring is magical, but it can’t travel. Not without a LOT of chisel and pickaxe work…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 27, 2018

…that’ll most likely destroy it.”
“Lad, when it’s magic, there is no ‘can’t’ anything…trust me.”
“Well, this ring is a bathtub ring. And the tub is hollowed out of the bedrock deep in a mountain. And is a tub big enough for…”#epic fantasy …six dwarves to share without touching. And the cavern it’s in has only very narrow entrances. Crack the tub and you crack the magic. So you’d need to hew a huge block of bedrock…”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 27, 2018

“I get it, lad, I get it. Ever heard of MAGIC?”
“Why, yes. One ring to rule them all…”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 27, 2018
