Hi, I was reading up on the Zhentarim throughout the ages and noticed on page 151 of the 4e FRCG that one of their remaining bases in that era was Wyvernwatch. Does this refer to the location in Four From Cormyr to the NE of Gnoll Pass? I mainly ask bc the fortress goes unacknowledged on both the FRCG and the Backdrop: Cormyr (from Dragon #365) maps, and plumbing through the archives seems to indicate that beyond that offhand mention it doesn't come up in 4e material and seems to be dropped as a Zhent base in 5e

I wish I could give you some insight on that. I was hoping a search of my own files would show it appearing in an article or some other one-off. But I failed to discover a match. Apparently, they had a small base there, but it didn't last.

It does, but that fortress was so thoroughly destroyed by a certain dragon (in a great untold tale of the Realms) that no one can now use it for anything, except lofty ruins to camp in (if you don't mind becoming a dragon meal) or perch on (if you're that dragon).#Realmslore https://t.co/6YyG6nAPMa

Unless I miss my guess, the most likely suspect is a relatively young steel dragon, mighty in magic, who is still alive but no longer a dragon, and much invested in destroying such threats.
Thoughts, Ed? Your thinking is, as always, DEAD ON right, sir. You "think Realms" so well.
I'd identify said most likely suspect, but that would be TELLING.
And for me, quite possibly fatal.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 29, 2021
Any clue on the identity of the dragon? Unless I miss my guess, the most likely suspect is a relatively young steel dragon, mighty in magic, who is still alive but no longer a dragon, and much invested in destroying such threats.
Thoughts, Ed?
