would the masked lords of waterdeep know who each other is outside of their meetings? Recognize by voice??MOST of them would. The Open Lord knows them all. A given Masked Lord usually knows who 3 or 4 "besties" among fellow Masked Lords are…

Elminster was born with psionics, and used them before knowing much about Mystra. See "Elminster: The Making Of A Mage" (long before the…

Elminster shows Psionic talent in “The Making of a Mage?”
I do not remember that at all.Right at the very beginning, when his village is attacked. Before he ever used the Art.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 13, 2017
No. Question about SilverFire. Would it reduce the pain factor of El’s torments? Or is it more reducing the aches? Silver fire itself hurts when wielding. But it can blot out lesser pains, whilst raging. (Recall Shandril's agony when healing with it.)

Greetings again from the UK, what can you reveal about Mhair Szeltune, her tower and its layout? Many thanks as always ~GGSee p30 of Eric L Boyd's CITY OF SPLENDORS: WATERDEEP 3e hardcover tome. Mhair dwelt in a modest mansion in Castle Ward, not a tower. As..

You will find mentions of Mhair's "tower," but that's due to a habit of the time: wizards of sufficient means had "decoy towers" foes and…

Speaking of non-disclosure agreements, who’s the god of lawyers in the realm? I feel like I should know this one.There are no "lawyers." (Are advocates.) trade disputes, it's Waukeen. If it's throne/criminal matters, it's Helm. If it's civil, it's Torm.

just one question. Sharantyr of the rangers three. Wasnt there a hint that she would birth a new “elminster”?Why yes, there WAS. ;}

I cant believe that line was killed off. I was hoping something could have come through after the spellplague. Even mirt made it through!Mirt made it through by being trapped in a blueflame magic item. (Volo survived via a similar transformation.) Sharantyr's progeny survived2

Kind sir, if I made a Tabaxi Cleric of the Forge Domain, what Deity might he worship?Just about any deity, but Malar, Chauntea, Red Knight, Mielikki, and Gwaeron Windstrom are all good "fits."

I have never based Realms countries on real-world ones (I know some gamers do). The CLIMATE is warm/hot Mediterranean (Morocco). Sorry.
