reading through ToF, I saw the thing about Elves and how they reincarnate into new elves eventually. How does it work if an elf gets reincarnated into a different being via the reincarnate spell? Do they still get reincarnated as an elf eventually? Yes

Any chance of a pronunciation for Waterdhavian?
Hi @TheEdVerse or @ChrisPerkinsDnD, any chance of a pronunciation for Waterdhavian? Always confused as to whether it’s water-DAY-vian, water-DAH-vian, or water-da-HAY-vian (less da and more the d consonant sound).All of those are correct depending on where in Faerun you're from (i.e. your "accent" when speaking Common, which is a matter of vowels and emphasis). But to anyone native to the Sword Coast, the first pronunciation is the one that comes naturally.

Is there a reason the Marut was changed to enforce contracts?
Is there a reason the Marut in MToF was changed to enforce contracts (formerly, the domain of a Kolyarut) and moved away from hunting down “cheaters of death”? yes – we're aligning the concept of law as a cosmic force more closely to the modrons and Primus

“No matter how often yon gem is stolen”
1)
“No matter how often yon gem is stolen,” the thief warned, “the legend is it reappears, just there on the altar, by sunrise.”
The warrior brightened. “So there’s a magic endless supply of them. We should tarry and steal it thrice or more.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 18, 2018
2)
The thief winced. “See the bowl sculpted at the far end of the altar? Pieces of whoever took the gem appear in it, every sunrise.”
The thief frowned, then brightened again. “Well, you’re the thief!” he announced brightly.#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 18, 2018
Will there finally be stats for blue whales in Waterdeep adventures?
Will there finally be stats for blue whales in Waterdeeps: Dragon Heist or Dungeon of the Mad Mage? #wdh #wdotmm #dnd 🐳 we're waiting for the D&D adaptation of Moby Dick for that.

At what point in Mordenkainens timeline did he go to Barovia?
@mikemearls At what point in Mordenkainens timeline did he go to Barovia? Before or after his Tome was stolen by Shemeshka? Also how great of a threat could Strahd actually have been to "The Balance" from his prison of Barovia?

These are really good questions, but if I answered them Mordenkainen would erase me from the timeline. The downside of dealing with archmages! https://t.co/wgZDhnWhyY
