Something new I cooked up in my spare time and due to Eric Boyd's incessant nagging.

We are always writing elven lore. Problem is, we are also always writing dwarven lore, human lore, orcish lore, halfling lore and even gnomish lore. It's a bit of a fight as to what gets our attention on any given day.

Dont forget giant lore
Just because you said this... it might be interesting to note a list of the various different "power groups" as an overview that might have long histories of impact to the world. I agree with the statement that giant lore being developed makes the world seem "real", and one of the strengths I've always felt for the realms is that it really is about "forgotten realms"... places, items, ideas, wars, times of growth etc... caused by/developed by many different cultures really feel like they've shaped the world.
So, just for fun... some of the many "groups" that I've been seeing people develop "lore" for that make the world seem more real.
beholder lore
illithid lore
doppelganger lore
aboleth lore
Sarrukh lore
Batrachi lore
Aearee lore
dragon lore
Old Ones lore (not much on them, but they were a power group long ago)
dark elven lore
fey / feywild lore
shadowfell lore
goblin lore
gnoll lore
duergar lore
demon lore
devil lore
"god" lore
primordial lore
portal lore
artifact/magic item lore
spelljammer/wildspace lore
geographic change lore
"mineral"/"metal"/"plant" lore on how they impacted history at times
THIS is why I love this world. It feels real because its not just "and the elves guided the world in this direction", which is kind of what I get from people who talk about Tolkien's silmarillion (not knocking Tolkien... just saying people saw his stuff and improved over time). |

If you want to corroborate this detail, just reach out to the Nimbraii spellcaster named Mendacity Prevaricator
Of course such a spellcaster exudes trustworthiness worthy of Tyr. *Look over my shoulder for signs of an offended Hammer of Grimjaws* |

It's some good, solid lore, and it would be a bargain at 3 times the price. |

For the skeptics out there, George has proven that he actually can write Realmslore without revolving all his plots around gnomes. (At least until he release the sequel: Orva: The Untold Backstory.)
We have a bet going about the importance of this obscure piece of Realmslore, so please prove me right for the measly cost of a $1. If I win, I will never let him forget it. |
