How do they cook meals in Candlekeep without fire? And dont give me no BS “with magic” answer. #NoMicrowavesEitherTake a look at the fourth bullet of the prestidigitation spell.

And according to @Sernett, the kitchens are outside the areas warded against fire.

There's a hostelry, bakery, bathhouse, stables, and an infirmary all on the southern side of the main courtyard, whereas the library and all its towers are on the north and west sides of the courtyard. Those are protected against flames.

That's something that the Baldur's Gate creators didn't account for in their rendering, and later RPG renderings followed suit. pic.twitter.com/FvoBF1dtxc

Text descriptions of the place are quite a bit more interesting than the Cinderella's Castle that we see in art now.

How aware are non-drow that Eilistraee is good? Would say, a cleric of Corellon or Torm assume “drow goddess? EVIL”Clergy should be well aware of the true nature of all deities. All lay folk would know Eilistraee is good, but those who don't venerate…

Thanks so much for the replies! Great food for thought. Happy to talk Realmslore with you! May your games always be rich and memorable!

Speaking of Waterdeep, not sure if it’s a legit map but the one my group uses has a street called “Slut Street,” on it. LmaoNo accident. "Slut" in medieval times meant "dirty working woman/drudge" and later meant "untidy, dirty woman" & only later got sex meaning

My wife (English, in her 80s) once called her daughter a "slut" for having an untidy (teenager's) bedroom and was astonished at d's reaction

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) October 6, 2017

…as the sexual connotations just weren't there for her, in the word.

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) October 6, 2017

Does Waterdeep have Good Samaritan laws? PC collapsed 4 floors of section of Castle WD while fighting evil. Scullery maid died.Not laws, but a policy of enforcement (laying charges in the first place), and sentencing (Magisters or the Open Lord) that take into…

…(i.e. no trial). Or might not, depending on PC's character and behaviour, the kin of the maid, and the testimony of any witnesses.

This is exactly what I needed to make a DM call in the next game. Thank you very much for the guidance, Ed. A pleasure! Always happy to help with the Realms!

Both. Did a basic framework. Later, as other writers and designers working in the Realms made mentions/had plot needs, made additions

Rarer than most folk think, thanks to the everpresent rumors and wild tales. See my olld (original) Wyrms Of The North articles in DRAGON…

Thanks. I found the archive. https://t.co/UYrQerqsn5

Wow, there is Arauthator from Rise is Tiamat, and Iymrith from Storm King’s Thunder. Yep. Poke around in those archives. Treasure trove, I hope. ;}

Was wondering, Courdh Mizzrym is the previous Archmage of Sorcere. Is he still alive, cause no reference after 2nd edition?Yes, but fled the city after certain intrigues, and is living far, far away under another name. A tale to be told someday, I hope…

Ty for the response! A pleasure! Always up for talking Realmslore!

@TheEdVerse need your help, if possible. can you look this over… https://t.co/1AIEYIH4du and suggest missing info? WIP so far

— PastorGall (@PastorGall) September 19, 2017

Heh. It's missing about three hundred herbs. ;} Start with lovage and move through monk's hood and other poisons that have medicinal uses.

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 19, 2017

Damned, next plan, win the lottery and buy TSRThat'd be "buy Hasbro." It'd better be a BIG lottery. ;}

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 20, 2017

Google "medieval poison garden" (there's a famous one at a country house in the UK) and that'll be a good start…
