After days of incompetent automation, I was able to find references to three more answers.

Two were on September 17th and 18th 2009: http://candlekeep.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12023&whichpage=84 has a post by bladeinAmn where he makes reference to them.
Another was on September 25th, where Quale explains that Ed Greenwood called it "sandbox". http://candlekeep.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=1&TOPIC_ID=12908

Not to underestimate their impact, but they seem to have been style and worldbuilding questions rather than actual Realmslore, thankfully.

So, to stop spamming here every time I blink, I figured I should make another Github pages bit. I didn't add Snowblood's quotations yet.

Another answer spotted, almost at random. Man I got so lucky!

======

The following answer was posted by Baleful Avatar, on Questions for Ed Greenwood (2009) near the end of the thread, on December 19, 2009. I quote the text in italics.

Hey, everybody, I just spotted this over at loremaster:


Eaerlann's symbol is the maranthae.
Specifically, the maranthae is a small woodlands flower found throughout much of Eaerlann (and almost nowhere else in Faerun). It's faintly phosphorescent, in that it captures and gives off (as a VERY faint glow) sunlight and other radiances (e.g. a lantern).
As a badge or symbol, the maranthae is depicted as an eight-petaled flower seen "straight-on" from above (so the long, thin, curved-to-symmetrical-points petals occupy the four cardinal compass points and their bisectors). The petals are, as in nature, a rich blue at their central hub, shading to gold one-third of the way "out," with two-thirds of each petal gold. The maranthae is closely surrounded by a circular wreath of overlapping green leaves, points to the right (clockwise), with the ring of space between flower and circle of leaves being a light sky blue.
There. :} Potted Realmslore!


Those words were posted by Ed of the Greenwood, in response to a question that boils down to "what is the symbol of Eaerlann?"
Goodly Realms goodness!
