Hullo Mr. Greenwood. Was pondering something today: do Teddy Bears exist in Faerun, and if so, do the locals call them anything other than “stuffed toy bears”? Stuffed toys and comfort cuddlers for adults exist in the Realms, but very seldom bears (and of course, not "Teddy Bears"=no Roosevelt). In everyday speech, they're "softfurries." and most are shaped like kittens or like Piglet from the Pooh tales (sewn in a gingerbread man pose)

Thank you, sir! A pleasure! Always happy to talk Realmslore!
By the way, Cormyr bans such things in the Palace and Royal court buildings. Too many poison vials, gas vials, and daggers were sewn into various "innocent toys" in the past.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 27, 2018
