On the origins of the purple dust in the Plains of Purple Dust

Hey there, Ed. My group is currently in the Plains of Purple Dust, and have lots of questions about the purple dust itself. Mostly, we are wondering: Where does this purple dust come from? #129300;
@TheEdVerse
Like most deserts, the dust is simply the grit (tiny particles of rock) that are so light, among the sand of that dessicated area, that they blow around in even the faintest breezes. I’ll be doing a YouTube video a few months from now about why the dust of this particular desert is purple (and turns the sky crimson where it isn’t amethyst, due to hanging in the air as sunlight beats down). Hint: if you can detect magic, the dust radiates magic. Meaning some magical event or discharge of some great power, long ago, made the dust purple (and likely created the desert). For now, let's just say the Realms has a very magical past. In this case involving conflict, liches, and dragons...
@KeltarDevir
Is this event related to either the Imaskari or the Mulan people when they reigned over there? Or maybe even further back in time with the Batrachi?
@TheEdVerse
A long time ago. ;}

@Heimdayl
Did Elsura Dauniir and Baelem the Bold survive the Spellplague, and are they still travelling alone in the 1490s?
@TheEdVerse
They did, but there's a story there! Expect a Realms video in three or four months or so... |

On Midnight's height

@Elric428th
Hi Ed
We’re running a campaign that features Midnight, and there’s a bit of a debate about her height—any chance you could settle it for us?
@TheEdVerse
Midnight as a mortal stands 5ft 6 ˝ (168.9 cm) tall (so, the same height as Angelina Jolie, for those who've met her). |

On Torm and the Penance of Duty circa 1500DR

@AndrewFarmer777
Hey @TheEdVerse With the revival of Tyr in the Second Sundering, Torm seems like he "disappeared." As an avid Champion of Torm lover, is Torm still around in FR, and do his followers still follow the Penance of century past?
@TheEdVerse
Torm is very much “still around” in the Realms circa 1500 DR, his church small but energetic and very much a “factor on the local scene” in most places on Faerűn. His devout followers still perform the Penance of Duty; doing so shapes and guides their lives. |
