The Order of the Gauntlet in 5e mentions followers of Tyr, Torm and Helm as members… but not of Ilmater. Has he left the Triad, or does he shun martial endeavors? Thanks! Ilmater hasn't left the Triad, and his followers are free to join the Order of the Gauntlet, but his way is not to […]
Is there anything akin to a “bank” in Waterdeep. Many! Temples and guilds (for their members only, or those trying to pay their members) act as banks. So does the city (Piergeiron's Palace). And for those who want "off the books" transactions, there are many, many private moneylenders (such as the infamous Mirt). — Ed […]
Is a fedora legit Faerun head ware? sounds like a question for @TheEdVerse — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) October 11, 2017 Sure. El and several other gate-wayfaring mages adopted them.

Hey Ed, can you tell me how elves hold their funeral rites in the realms (more specific the wood elves in the Misty Forest)? Rites vary widely (by elf type, region, community, AND family). Wood elves in the Misty Forest "plant" (bury) bodies of their fallen beneath seedlings, or plant new seedlings above a burial. […]
Hi Mr Greenwood! I’m prepping to play a war domain cleric of Torm in Tyranny of Dragons. I love Cormyr & wondered what specific role (if any) clerics trained as warrior-priests could fulfill in the Purple Dragons. Thanks for answering our questions, hi from Holland Hi, Gerben! Warrior-priest clerics would be scattered through the ranks […]
Greetings! I want to start reading through some of your Forgotten Realms books! Which series would you recommend as the best place to start?Hi! Either Shandril's Saga (starting with Spellfire) or the Knights of Myth Drannor trilogy (starting with Swords of Eveningstar). Enjoy! — Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 3, 2017
