How does one pronounce the “ffolk” of the Moonshaes. I’ve always just said “folk” but I’m listening to one of Doug’s books on Audible, and they are doubling the f in the verbal pronunciation and it sounds… odd. From the early TSR "published Realms" days, as Doug's Albion campaign was eased into the Realms to replace my original Moonshaes, the TSR staff pronounced "Ffolk" with the double "f" so that's how it has always been to me.#Realmslore

“Excuse me, Your Majesty, but dwarves have arrived”
1)
“Excuse me, Your Majesty, but dwarves have arrived unheralded at the back gates, with seven wagons full of stone caskets. They say you ordered them, and refuse to turn back.”
“Nor should they. Have them unload the caskets…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 11, 2018

…into the south stable block, then report here to me for payment. Then give them whatever ale they want—in casks, mind, DON’T serve them!—and get them out of here and on the road home as fast and as QUIETLY as you can.”#epic fantasy “But what do we want seven wagonloads of stone caskets for?”
“Shoring up the southeast turret, remember?”
“Oh. Brilliant, sire! Fast and cheaper than having stone blocks quarried! Shall I set the gardeners to work filling… #epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 11, 2018
4)
…them with gravel?”
“No, Jathenkins, that won’t be necessary. King Pronder and I have decided to have a little border skirmish as a pretext for raising taxes, so we’ll have bodies to fill them soon enough.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 11, 2018

The art for Shaggy is by @raikoart, mentioned in the tweet! Here's the original piece. Phenomenal. pic.twitter.com/P6m5ar2IWD

Our apologies. We take the blame.
We mentioned @raikoart in the original tweet, but it didn't occur to us that their name wasn't on the image itself.
The original piece is phenomenal, and was retweeted by Matt a few days ago. Attached here, in case anyone missed it… pic.twitter.com/8qNA6KRoIg

Do clerics of The Shaggy use Zoinks as a Power Word or general blessing? Or is that a magic word that fills a worshipper with the power of Shaggy? Filling the worshipper with his power would likely result in immediate disintegration. Possibly erasing the memories of his or her existence from family and friends.

Any tips on making Waterdeep seem more alive?
I’ll be starting a campaign soon set in Waterdeep with several great friends. I wondered if @TheEdVerse had any tips on making the city seem more alive? Thank you for the Forgotten Realms!!!

2/3)Sure! Write up a quick news and rumors page (don’t have time? search for all of my #StormtalonsWhispers here on Twitter and change the names to places in the Realms) so you can always have NPC gossip and chatter, wherever the PCs go. List 20 or so “street… …traffic” sights (wagons that look like X and are loaded with Y, handcarts ditto, workers rushing places, shoppers strolling, etc.) so you can CONSTANTLY describe what the PCs see, so the city always feels alive and bustling, and never a lifeless backdrop…#Realmslore

3/3) …that responds only to PC actions. Always mention the weather (fog off harbor? cold winds off sea? breezes? hot/cold/damp?) and what smells and sounds the breezes bring. Remind PCs that 1000s of lives are unfolding around them (=1000s of adventures!).#Realmslore

Are there still earth motes dotting the Sword Coast?
As of 5th Edition, are there still earth motes dotting the Sword Coast? I know there was one in ToA, but what about those near Neverwinter? Fisher’s Float etc. #dndThere are still some earth motes, but…during the last separation of the Sundering, as Abeir and Toril moved apart again, many earth motes moved. A few “went with” Abeir, and a handful crashed to earth (or into a mountainside).#Realmslore
