Does anyone know what this text reads on page 55 of the D&D Player’s Handbook?

Isn’t there a trick to the backwards runes as well?
There are some I’ve never seen before though; so maybe it’s someone just taking Futhark and going ham with changing it.
If this is Forgotten Realms-based (not likely since 4e origins), maybe Giant script? @TheEdVerse ? Nope, not Giant. And I can't read it = unfamiliar to me = probably not a script from the Realms. Some familiar characters, from Futhark and elsewhere, but…

Help action: What is the Range of the Help action? 5 ft? Which ally gets advantage on the first attack roll?
Two questions about the Help action:
Paragraph 1 – What is the Range of the Help action? 5 ft? Unlimited?
Paragraph 2 – Which ally gets advantage on the first attack roll? Next to hit? Your choice? Is there a range limit for the Ally? 1. Depends on the context and what you're doing to help. DM's call. If it's something you can shout encouragement for, cool. If you have to hand them a screwdriver, within your reach.2. You're aiding a specific ally, against a specific target.

When drow die, those who follow Lolth and those who follow Eilistraee or other drow gods, what becomes of their souls?
Lysbeth Raven @LysbethRaven@TheEdVerse
Great Sage, I ask this; when drow die, those who follow Lolth and those who follow Eilistraee or other drow gods, what becomes of their souls? Are they simply lost regardless of chosen god, or is there an afterlife for them?Great Sage, I ask this; when drow die, those who follow Lolth and those who follow Eilistraee or other drow gods, what becomes of their souls?

1)
There is an afterlife. Those who follow Lolth become soul-spiders (spiders, swarming around her and serving her; she may transform them into other forms to take on tasks for her, consume and destroy them, or even give them new lives.2)
Those who cleave to Eilistraee join the Great Dance as flying, weightless images of themselves, unless or until the Dark Dancer changes them for her own purposes (see Lolth, above).#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 26, 2020

Does the Shadow Weave still exist?
does the Shadow Weave still exist? I assume there are quite a few Shadover living in settlements in Anauroch following the fall of Shade, and I was wondering what sort of magic they practiced. Yes, the Shadow Weave still exists. It went down when the Weave did, but returned when the Weave did. Since the Second Sundering ended, it has ebbed and flowed in strength, so somewhat less than reliable (right in keeping with Shar ;} ), but is gaining power again.#Realmslore

Are there exact protectors and caretakers about the elderly among the gods? How do they interact with gods of death?
hello, sir Ed, I was recently wondering- there are multiple gods of death and multiple gods of life, plus, gods of youth such as Lathander.
Are there exact protectors and caretakers about the elderly among the gods? How do they interact with gods of death? Aside from the halfling (Cyrrollalee), gnome (Segojan Earthcaller), and dwarf (Berronar Truesilver) deities of the home, hearth and life, no, but priests of Myrkul look after the dying.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 6, 2020

When you say myth you mean Eberron has an actual origin that differs from what the inhabitants believe?
When you say myth you mean Eberron has an actual origin that differs from what the inhabitants believe? With fantasy, in-world myths and history get blurred. It’s a myth. It could be literally true. Perhaps three godlike beings created the world and fought, but they weren’t actually dragons and Eberron didn’t literally become the world. Like the Sovereigns, hype ultimate truth is up to the DM.

Its a myth that explains many things about the world. The underworld is a source of horrors, bound within the natural world. Magic flows from the Ring of Siberys. It’s a curiously universal myth. But it is a myth—possibly true, possibly metaphor.

You know more than me. You’re it’s creator. I have made grave mistakes in my 15 yr long Eberron campaign I must ponder. Much to do. Thanks for the info. You haven’t made any mistakes! The final decision is up to the DM: you made that decision and explored the consequences. That IS the right answer.

I tend to really like 4-6 player groups, but 1-on-1 D&D games are an absolute blast!
As a player I tend to really like 4-6 player groups cuz interpersonal connections are fun to RP.
Well, turns out, 1-on-1 D&D games are an absolute fucking BLAST. It helps that my DM is an amazing writer and storyteller, oh wow!! It’s true! I’ve only run a few of them in the past, and it can be so much fun! You tend to burn through prep/content quickly, so just know it’s gonna be mostly improv, but that’s the sweet spot of D&D anyway!
