PastorGall @PastorGall@TheEdVerse is bowstring in the realms made like to how he used to do it back then? Also, are there special types of bowstring in the realms?

Short answer: Yes, and yes. But here we go…

1/3) Bowstrings are made of a wide variety of materials across the Realms, many of them the same as historical real-world fibers: linen, hemp and other plant fibers, rawhide and sinew (warning: lose elasticity when wet!), …#Realmslore

2/3) …and silk. In the Realms, drow use spidersilk (giant spider types of the Underdark) to string their bows, and elves have special bowstrings made of combinations of wood-dwelling spidersilk, squirrel and even deer rawhide, …#Realmslore

3/3) … long elven hair, spun silver (treated with spells and moonstone). The Tuigan and wemics use horsehair in combination with long-grass fibers, and so on, in many regional variations (e.g. jungle plant fibers).#Realmslore

is there any known Dwarves/Dragonborn clans, meaning a duel-raced clan? In Forgotten Realms is there any existing lore that would condemn this? I’d like to play a Dragonborn with a family-like connection with dwarves, to go along with his Clan Crafter background. Hi, Chris. So far as I know, there's nothing in Realmslore about a dual-raced dwarf-anything clan (although the dwarves has occasionally "adopted" non-dwarf INDIVIDUALS as clan members). But that means there's nothing against/condemning dual-race dwarf/other clans, either. :}

Cormyrean noble cleric talking about Vangey: He really *does* think every time he goes to the privy or washes his backside it’s in the service of the realm! #DND #ForgottenRealms @TheEdVerse is she right? 😀 Oh, yes! I've written scenes about this in published Realms fiction: both his very real and dedicated service to Cormyr, and his now-effortless habit of rationalizing that his every personal preference and druthers is what the realm truly needs. ;} That's what makes Vangey so…

Oh my … and my Truesilver-replacement-family scion said this, aloud to herself & her goddess, while shouting at him, too 🙃
She loves cousin Azoun. War Wizards & Vangey she has rather sharp words for. To be fair she DOES feel that he’s endangered dear Daddy (bluedragon cmdr) Now here's the strange thing about Vangey: he'd be irked at hearing this, but NOT show it, and would think this Lady Truesilver would bear closer watching from now on (traitor? ALL nobles have the tendency!) BUT would respect her more…as someone who sees shrewdly ("no fool").
