1. Kelemvore would be which ethnic group?
2. Lyonsbane Keep is located where?
3. In the Avatar Modules his patron deity is Torm, however in Hall of Heroes he has non. Which takes precedence ?
4. Are the stats in Halls of heroes with higher physical stats and lower Int, Wis and Cha his panther form stats since the ones in the Avatar Modules are quite different? |

Sirius, this is the second time i read you using "Gracias", is curious.
If all else fails, you could try Ebay. Granted they're in English, not Spanish. But there's quite a few people selling them on that site.
Okay i'll try, in this matters spain is really third-world like.

I think I heard that they put the authors under the pseudonym to put the books together since bookstores put novels alphabetically by author's last name. Same thing was done with the D&D iconic novels. But now those same bookstores are more likely to arrange them by series and one then puts them alphabetically by BOOK TITLE than AUTHOR NAME. Weird.

Yeah, its not at all uncommon to hear a bit of Spanish thrown into American vocabularies. We do after all have the 5th largest Spanish-speaking population in the world, with 27.8 million Americans speaking Spanish. It is estimated that 28.6 percent of the population of my city, Fresno, speak Spanish.
One can't help but "lift" vocabulary when one hears it so often.

Well, speaking for myself, I will say that some of us Americans have a tendency to lift particular words from other languages. It's not at all uncommon for someone to use another language to say "thank you."
I myself used to say "gracias" but then started saying "danke." A few years ago, I moved over to saying "domo" instead...
And if I know someone's nationality, and I know any words from their language, if the opportunity is right, I will use their native tongue when speaking to them. Usually I don't get to do more than say their version of "thank you," but it seems courteous to me to at least do that much. |

Thanks. I'll look for the differences then as I read the 2nd and 3rd books. Also, thanks for the spelling of pseudonym (I was totally clueless).

I just checked the Interactive Atlas, and it gave no hits on searching for "Lyonsbane". And I, too, didn't see it in the print Atlas.
Is it in any of the Avatar modules? I've only got the Waterdeep one.

Cool. It's been too long since I read the ToT series to recall much about Kelemvor before he became a God. |
