Speaking of non-disclosure agreements, who’s the god of lawyers in the realm? I feel like I should know this one.There are no "lawyers." (Are advocates.) trade disputes, it's Waukeen. If it's throne/criminal matters, it's Helm. If it's civil, it's Torm.

just one question. Sharantyr of the rangers three. Wasnt there a hint that she would birth a new “elminster”?Why yes, there WAS. ;}

I cant believe that line was killed off. I was hoping something could have come through after the spellplague. Even mirt made it through!Mirt made it through by being trapped in a blueflame magic item. (Volo survived via a similar transformation.) Sharantyr's progeny survived2

Kind sir, if I made a Tabaxi Cleric of the Forge Domain, what Deity might he worship?Just about any deity, but Malar, Chauntea, Red Knight, Mielikki, and Gwaeron Windstrom are all good "fits."

starting an old school shining south – Var,Durpa, Veldorn campaign. Any novels/reading to help get a feel for the culture?3e FRCS and Shining South books have the best coverage of thereabouts…

I have never based Realms countries on real-world ones (I know some gamers do). The CLIMATE is warm/hot Mediterranean (Morocco). Sorry.

It has just occurred to me, that it will take me a lifetime to read all you have written. Lichdom beckons I fear… Heading for 400 books now (incl. co-written, anthologies), several thousand magazine articles, several hundred short stories, and ? poems ;}

Yep Lichdom it is… prepare the phylactery… Plays, I forgot the plays…and radio scripts, and movie scripts, and library pamphlets, and… ;}

How do FR banks protect against teleport or scrying? Buy perm Mord Priv Sanctum?FR banks have lead-lined vaults: no teleporting in or out. There are other defenses, too, but they prefer to keep them secret.

Thanks! So lead works in 5e? (Couldn't find it in books)

The rule: Realmslore holds as canon until contradicted by more recently published canon works. So if ever 'tis said lead doesn't work…

Howdy Ed. Can you tell us anything about the Hobgoblin pantheon before most of their gods were deposed by Maglubyet?Hobgoblin clergy fiercely disagree about the past, and lay "hobs" don't know what to believe. There is talk of "Uraum the First" (first hob)

Is Foilsunder the Green Dragon that ruined Sir Isteval’s leg in Winterwood?Heh. I'm not sure Sir Isteval got the number of the dragon that hit him. ;}
