Great sages of Candlekeep,
I need your help to find as much information on Cormyrean noble families as possible (and I don't mean the general lore about being a noble in Cormyr but about particular families like Bleths, Cormaerils, Crownsilvers and so on). I am aware of the fact that there are some pages on this topic in the 2nd edition Cormyr supplement. Are there any other sources besides the one I mentioned? |

That would be very kind of ye :) |

I'm assuming the email in your profile is current? If so, that's the one I'm sending it to.

Some of them are covered in the sources listed above. And Ed's mentioned one or two -- that weren't covered by NDA -- in his Candlekeep replies (check Kuje's compiled reply files).
The HERALDRY section of realmspeak.com used to provide the canon-references for Corymrian noble family heraldry also but the site is currently off-line.

Wow! Now that's something! Thank you very much
Oh, one more thing. Do you possibly know how do the most important families' coats of arms look like? |

That list shows us a little under two-thirds of them, from what I can recall. And yes, "Hunterown" IS a typo for Huntcrown.
Unfortunately, the nobles of Cormyr are NDA'd right now, so I can't ask Ed.
Sorry.
Love,
