Thank you for answering. Could you refer me to the books or places where I could hunt down their Exact locations in the latest timelines? Last my research found (2e) they were tethered in certain trees and towers. With scattered mentions of individual scrolls from time to time I'm afraid not.
I wasn't being flippant when I replied to you, I was going as far as the heavy NDAs on the Nether Scrolls allowed me to go. (Yes, this is one of those "no-go" topics.)#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 14, 2020
Leaving out the novels, these sources have the most about the Nether Scrolls: Lost Empires of Faerûn, Netheril: Empire of Magic boxed set, the 2007 Anauroch: The Empire Of Shade, The Grand History of the Realms, Lords of Darkness, Races of Faerûn, and Magic of Faerûn.#Realmslore

I understand. When you let a company sell something you want to share with the world, you lose some things. Thanks for replying though. It really is helpful. I hope that you or another author can sit down and give us a day in the life of Netherese wizards some time in novel form I would love that. We spend so much time writing "fate of the world hangs in the balance" tension or impending doom-laden scenes that a day in the life would be a wonderful change of pace. :}

Gives a clear endpoint with a vague few thousand years before it happens. Plus idk if you or other authors have written in depth about the famous wizards mentioned in Netherils history and timelines. It’s leaders, saviors, or great inventors I've written a little, back when Netheril was my "dawn-of- time mighty magic kitchen sink catchall." ;}

Yeah so many of the wizards you wrote about for those books seemed like they would have as much impact as Tensor, Elminster, Melf, or Mordekainen. Though some of them like Jeriah the chronomancer made me wonder what impact he had to be written down, but for 1 orc horde and death Jeriah wasn't my creation, so I'm afraid I can't speak to that. Nor was chronomancy in the Realms.#Realmslore

Was Ioulam your creation? The one who created the first human made Mythal. No. A lot of cooks have had fun in the Realms kitchen.

Or could I just wait for a book that says in a swinging 20s voice “Evil man has obtained massive power through ancient magics! Will he control the universe or will the hero’s stop his evil plots of the nether scrolls? Find out in the next Episode of D AND D!” Decisions, decisions…it's like life. None of us know what's going to hit us next.
