At what time period was Earth temporarily reconnected to Toril? I could imagine Shakespeare gaining a following in Faerun.

Judging by the frequency with which Elminster shows up at my various back doors, and drops casual comments about what he saw, experienced (and mainly drank and ate) at historical Earth times and events, I'd say Earth and Toril have been constantly connected for a long, long time.

But perhaps those connections aren't so easily found and used if you aren't a veteran old archwizard with meddling tendencies. ;}

I love that the 5e books have “disclaimers”. They mentioned you knew a great many archwizards in one, so I guess my question at this point is “does Elminster give autographs?” XD He does. However, some who've misused ther Art and earned his or Mystra's ire haven't much liked the way Elminster wrote his autograph upon them. ;}
