Know any other sayings if the races of the realms or slang terms that you came across that were funny. Also , any Easter eggs in your readings, meaning any references to pop culture other than the book?

By Mystras Thrice-Damned Curse, I say to this topic!
Of course, one must be educated in the ways of olde AD&D 1E/2E, circa 1356DR onwards, to truly understand this expression. |

Once Around the Realms is full of real world references, however I don't recommend reading the book. |

Well, on the topic of Easter eggs, there have been references to real people in various bits of Realmslore... See this topic: Real people in the Realms...
In that topic, I mention the artist Cledwyll, who was obviously based on Clyde Caldwell. Here's the relevant reference:
From page 113 of The Wyvern's Spur, by Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb:
quote:
Giogi unwound the velvet cloth carefully, revealing a gleaming black statue of a beautiful woman. Her lithe and scantily clad formed was slightly arched, and her shapely arms were swept up over her head in a circle. Her face was round and pretty. Her lips were parted slightly, and her eyes were closed, like a woman waiting to be be surprised. The rest of her physical features Uncle Drone had once described as ample, though Aunt Dorath had argued they were scandalous.
Later on the same page it names the statue as being of Selūne, and done by Cledwyll, who gave it as a gift to Paton Wyvernspur, the family founder. |
