@NicolasCSIs there currently political intrigue and chaos in Tethyr as in your original Realms? Heh. There is ALWAYS political intrigue in Tethyr, and usually a fair amount of chaos (brigands, skirmishes between duchies).

How rare are level 10+ wizards in Faerun?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Got to a point in SKT that has a teleportation circle, & a question came up: how rare are level 10+ wizards in Faerun?
— George Sutherland H (@Acr0ssTh3P0nd) November 13, 2016
Officially, Faerûn has an abundance of high-level wizards. Also officially, a DM can disregard this fact. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/1gmCNFvze3

Would the city of Waterdeep have lvl 20 wizards or sorcerers?
@Younes_KEWould the city of waterdeep have lvl 20 wizards or sorcerers, or is it rare to have characters that powerful in the realms? They're rare than you might think, but yes, Waterdeep would have a few. Some with public profile, more hiding their full power.

Is Waterdeep the 2nd largest city in Faerûn?
#DnD @TheEdVerse
[2/2]
I’ve gotten curious of something;
Calimport has been stated to be the biggest city in Faerûn (if not Toril)
[1/2]and Waterdeep has been called its Northern counterpart before;
So is Waterdeep the 2nd largest city in Faerûn?— MadHatterHimself (@Madhatterhim) September 19, 2016
@Madhatterhim Short answer: No. Waterdeep has a large TRANSIENT population (visiting traders, nobles who go south to more temporate climes..

@TheEdVerse – Well…
That was a far more politically loaded question than I expected it to be!
Thanks for the highly detailed answer there!— MadHatterHimself (@Madhatterhim) September 19, 2016

I was wondering if the Cloaks of Mulmaster have a symbol, do they wear particular colors too?
@Dvergr76Hey Ed. I was wondering if the Cloaks of Mulmaster have a symbol and what it looks like. Do they wear particular colors too? They all have dark maroon weathercloaks (hoods, ankle-length, heavy fabric against winter cold) and ankle-length black cloaks..

Where I can find info on the population of the Forgotten Realms cities?
@narcisolemaHi Ed, I was reading books of Forgotten Realms but I couldn’t find the population of the cities. Where I can find that info? It's not a constant, even with 1 year (Waterdeep has huge summer pop, small winter one). And tax rolls are the only count in…
