Sure. I happen to have a small lore-bucket of these. ;}
If you make love when a full moon is rising over the Old Skull, visible to you during your intimacy, conception is guaranteed. 2)
Never go within sight or sound of Harpers’ Hill after the sun goes down, or you will be haunted all your life by what you hear.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021

Children who make Storm or Syluné Silverhand laugh will enjoy good fortune for a year. 4)
If a wolf’s howl is heard in sunlight in Shadowdale during Marpenoth, someone of the Dale will become a lycanthrope before the year is out.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021

Old Arthrudd the Miser-Miller will rise from his grave to knock on your door in the dead of a moonless night if you dig near the mill, as he’ll be certain you’re seeking the gold he buried and is now too dead to recover. 6)
Lune Lyrohair was revealed as a lycanthrope and slain, but she slept with so many men of the village before then that lycanthropy is sure to show up in many Dale families in the generations ahead. Beware a golden-eyed child.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021

The drow hid gold and silver coins and trade-bars all over the dale, shallow-buried—but if you find any, disturb it not, lest the curses they cast on their caches awaken and bring them up from the Realms Below to hunt you.A tentacled eye flies the forest trails by night, awaiting young Dalesfolk abroad at such times. It feeds on memories and blood, you never get either back—and it uses every memory to make future hunts more deadly.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021

Rich drow treasure is hidden in the Twisted Tower, but for every gem of it that someone finds, a man of the dale will die. And their bodies will be found on the roof of the Old Skull. If the Zhents ever invade Shadowdale with an army again, the Six Old Men who died trying to hold the crossroads against them will rise for revenge, and won’t rest until each of them has beheaded a dozen Zhents.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021

The lich that legend insists dwells under Fox Ridge isn’t the only lich in the dale.
The other one lives in plain sight, but no one recognizes its true nature through the human guise it wears. 12)
Dwarves dug a tunnel centuries ago that runs under the dale, to cry warning of a drow advance. Enchanted double-headed axes fly tirelessly along it, awaiting drow heads to split—and magical alarm-gongs to ring.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2021
Huh. I always thought Lyrohair/Lyrohar to be male (yes, even as weretiger and “fest-hall employee”). Out of curiosity, would that be pronounced LOON or lune-AY? In her case, "loon" (lune-ay and loon are both common pronunciations of that given name, lune-ay always for a half-elf). Lyrohar; the "Lyrohairs" are the Sembian branch of that huge, scattered family.#Realmslore

Heh.
Any magic shop would NOT go unnoticed.
Anyone running any such establishment who had no business sense would be viewed with GREAT suspicion.
Busty young women in Shadowdale, however, would blend right in among the many strapping farm gals.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 8, 2021
