Hi so I was wondering if you have any artwork that you use for the leaders of world. I have a player in my group that suffers from Aphantasia. So she can’t use theater of the mind. I hooked up a TV to my laptop, in order to project pictures of people. Who do you most need pics of? I can go look online for real people who "might be close enough to pass," if we can keep it to 20 or so. Non-humans will be harder. ;}

Okay, so 1350s? Filfaeril as Queen of Cormyr?
There's a good pic of Laeral here:https://t.co/05ynwcqRWN

I forgot Queen Fee’s advisers!
Once Azoun and Vangerdahast are gone, the two highest-ranking ones would be:
The War Wizard Laspeera Inthré, who looks like this lady (top left pic):https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/108227197280831351/?lp=true …
except that the glasses are clear crystal (no frames at2)
…all!) and float in front of her face by magic rather than having stems that hook behind the ears in the usual manner.
And Caladnei, Vangey’s successor, depicted here:https://t.co/2z1s7aVIRz#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 14, 2020
I suffer from Aphantasia myself, not only was this article helpful but it yet again proves how Ed Greenwood is one of the coolest people I have seen online.
I “cast” my npcs with actors and use their images and speech patterns
Ed was my librarian growing up. He let us play D&D on Saturdays. The best ever. We called him “Moses” because of the beard. Who would have thought we were speaking to Elminster!
