The big arcs of the campaign are coming into focus. The Ordning. Caira Xasten and the Book of Vile Darkness, the Obarskyr Clone… Ah, those Obarskyr clones are endlessly useful. ;}

I spent some time pondering “what could the Yuan-Ti do with an Obarskyr clone?”, I suppose better question would be what couldn’t they do?! Indeed. The possibilities are endless. Even if there's no real clone, but just a spellspun or natural Obarksyr lookalike, rumors can be…

Many Cormyrean nobles will support even pretenders they know to be false, because anything that weakens the Crown (with their #$@%! …

…war wizards!) is just fine with them. But there's support and support: open gets them killed as traitors, or exiled with lands forfeit…

…support, now, that may be every bit as effective. With the Crown busy chasing shadows and spying on rebellions that aren't happening, …

…nobles can smuggle, evade taxes, and participate in trade deals so sharp laws get cut (with the everpresent aid of Sembian investors). ;}

I think this nefarious plot just grew by a few layers, my thanks good sir 🙂 My pleasure! (Said with sinister glee over a tallglass of private vintage with elder nobles languidly practising their malevolent smiles.)

Is Mithral mined as a metal, like gold? or is it mined as an ore, like iron?Almost all mithral is found in ore, that must be crushed and smelted to derive the metal. It's found in "pure-ish" veins very, very rarely. (Most easily-gleaned mithral was taken long, long ago.)

If you could physically go to anywhere in the realms where everything exists (magic, races, monsters), where would it be and why?Right now? I'd go to the Unicorn Run and enjoy a picnic with the Seven Sisters on its banks whilst watching the unicorns frolic and gambol.

Hi! Do you recall the name of a city in The Forgotten Realms the streets and layout of which formed a sigil to imprison a demon? My search-fu fails me. might be the capitol of Thay – I think there's a demon imprisoned there

What voice do you imagine Elminster Aumar to have? Maybe @TheEdVerse could even chime in on this one. No answer is correct, just opinions here. Is there a specific actor you have imagined in the role as your reading? #nerdy #DnD for Manner of speech: Nicol Williamson as Merlin in EXCALIBUR.
Elminster: dry English accent with Welsh lilt (Robertson Davies). But his accent wanders thanks to so much world-hopping. I've voiced him thousands of times down the years. ;}

Where can an elvish archmage, fearing his past, go to protect his grandson and his parents? Trying to find my rogue/mystic’s “hometown”. The archmage holds a Tome of the Stilled Tongue.

Somewhere off the beaten path maybe.
I’d love any help as The Realms are vast! Many places, from the Nelanther (Pirate Isles) to the Border Kingdoms to the Velen peninsula to upforest Aglarond…hmmm, preferred climate? Stay on the continent of Faerun? ?

Excuse me, @TheEdVerse, but my party seems to have found trouble in Waterdeep. They murdered a man who they saw aid in a mugging, the other suspects escaped, but now a couple of the party are in holding.
How would the court system deal with the murder of a common thief? 🤔 A magister [judge] will try the PCs (rather like our trials). Murder is a Severe Crime of The Second Plaint (Crimes Against The City). Conviction could mean a sentence of Death, or 10-15 years Enforced Hard Labor (these days, usually city wall/paving quarry-work). But… (1/2)

(2/2): …if the magister deems the killing "justified," or a Lord or guildmaster intervenes with the Palace, the charge will be reduced, or the trial postponed "forever" (pay fine, go free). Reduced charge means 2000gp fine, imprisonment for 1 day to 3 months. (FR1, both CoSs)

@Sernett @ChrisPerkinsDnD
Gentlemen–does the Order of the Gauntlet have a main hq or in the alternative, any hq or keeps whatsoever? If so, where abouts is it/are they located in Faerun? Thanks and happy holidays.

The order operates primarily out of temples of Helm, Torm, and Tyr. The largest concentration of order members is in Helm’s Hold. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/u2pHhY3wyI
