@TheEdVerse Can you give us any update on the Wyvernspur clan? How is Immersea doing?

In the 1490s DR, House Wyvernspur flourishes, both financially and in numbers and the personal achievements of its members.
Having passed this family to my good friends Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak back in 1986 (real-world… 2)

…successful and farfaring as adventurers, Lyriasara (“Leera”) and Asmarra (“Mara”), and at least two younger sisters who seldom if ever visit Suzail. Not to mention several uncles who were rather rakish in their day 4)
Immersea I can wax slightly more eloquent about.
It, too, flourishes, its winter population over 4,000 strong, and swelling in summer by over 800, due to wealthy social climbers in both Arabel and Suzail who built or have…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 5, 2020

…rented homes along the shores of the Wyvernwater that they visit for recreational purposes in good summer weather. The town flourishes, now boasting many potters, weavers, and publishers (though the odorous tanneries and 6)

…prosperous, locally influential non-noble Immer clans include the families of Beldrar, Coldreth, Fostren, Ghelk, Perinpost (a him family), Sagrask, and Tranther. Local fishing has declined as catches have become smaller, 8)

My greatest and favorite character was a Wyverspur, although he didn’t have a great relationship with them. He was born from a marriage between Suzail’s Wyverspurs and Waterdeep’s Moonstar. It included lycantrophy, politics and monster hunting, and it was lots of fun. The Wyvernspurs have been special since I first created them, long before D&D. Jeff sensed that, and pounced on them, with my wholehearted approval. Sometimes, you capture magic.

Jeff then created Giogi, and Cat, and as he started fleshing their life back stories out, the Wyvernspurs became his, and I was happy to step back and watch the fun. That's how the Realms works; creators take what catches their eye and run with it, creating new. :}#Realmslore
