@Teagan_leFeythe Realms are so big, naming things in my world is hard without there being crossover. Heh. I know. Sorry.

@Teagan_leFey its okay.. I’ll just have to be creative with my liquid moon, instead of calling it Moonsea. Lol.. I lucked out with Seaside Moontide?

@TheEdVerse Moontide it shall be, thank you.

[2/2]
I’ve gotten curious of something;
Calimport has been stated to be the biggest city in Faerûn (if not Toril)
[1/2]and Waterdeep has been called its Northern counterpart before;
So is Waterdeep the 2nd largest city in Faerûn?— MadHatterHimself (@Madhatterhim) September 19, 2016
@Madhatterhim Short answer: No. Waterdeep has a large TRANSIENT population (visiting traders, nobles who go south to more temporate climes..

@TheEdVerse – Well…
That was a far more politically loaded question than I expected it to be!
Thanks for the highly detailed answer there!— MadHatterHimself (@Madhatterhim) September 19, 2016
@Madhatterhim A pleasure! Always up for Realmslore. ;}

@Dvergr76Hey Ed. I was wondering if the Cloaks of Mulmaster have a symbol and what it looks like. Do they wear particular colors too? They all have dark maroon weathercloaks (hoods, ankle-length, heavy fabric against winter cold) and ankle-length black cloaks..

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls @Wizards_DnD are the Darksong Knights(order of Eilistraee Paladin) still active and/or part of the Harpers?#dnd
— Teagan le Fey (@Teagan_leFey) September 14, 2016
@Teagan_leFey They are. Thin on the ground at the moment, but very much active.

@Teagan_leFeythank you. May’ryn won’t have to be as alone as she was in 4e. #dnd #drow #5e #eilistraee #paladin #critterpc You're very welcome! The Dark Dancer rises!

@JTOverathI either forgot or missed it but how did Mordenkainen end up in Elminster’s care in the latest @TheEdVerse Realms book? El is nursing Mordenkainen back to (mental) health. Ask @ChrisPerkinsDnD for more! :}

@narcisolemaHi Ed, I was reading books of Forgotten Realms but I couldn’t find the population of the cities. Where I can find that info? It's not a constant, even with 1 year (Waterdeep has huge summer pop, small winter one). And tax rolls are the only count in…

@kandidkerryFR adv with out-of-way noble fam (by keep from Deck of Many Things in 1000 DR). Any loc suggestions near Sword Coast/Moonsea? I would use one of Waterdeep's noble families; they ALL have country estates up the Dessarin valley (most near Amphail).
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 15, 2016
@kandidkerryThanks! Is it ok for Waterdeep nobles to be halflings? An entire family? No. Halflings married into a noble family: YES. If you're rich, Waterdhavian nobles find you attractive. ;}
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 15, 2016
@kandidkerryThanks for being so helpful. I’m starting to think easier for halfling clan to have keep n town under protection. No nobles. Heh. Things are ALWAYS easier without nobles. ;}
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 15, 2016
@Pat_M514a few years ago you told me a website where I could find out more of what happened to the Melairkyn clan, but I’ve forgotten WotC's webstuff is gone now, so Candlekeep (the forums, at https://t.co/c8nD1pjO0D) are the best place left.
