I wish there was a preview here on X. I'm sadly not a patreon supporter so I don't even know what I'm missing.

@TheEdVerse re: Making of a Mage 1. Hornkeep apparently across Horn Hills, fly overnight SE to Hastarl. Per Lost Empires: Undarl's Tower west of Hastarl, few miles. Undarl's Tower != Hornkeep? 2. Anglathammaroth is black. Undarl rides red at start, Myrjala kills at end; red name? @TheEdVerse
1. No, Hornkeep and Undarl’s Tower are different places. Hornkeep is indeed NW of Hastarl, across the Horn Hills and beyond. 2. Undarl’s red dragon steed was Glathkarlarrogh (“Gull-LATH-car-lar-ROG”).
@TheEdVerse Oh great Sage. Is there an appropriate reward given by the crown for services to Cormyr? @TheEdVerse
Several. Most consist of knighthoods or land grants (usually a manor with the working farms around it), but the "big prize" for centuries has been the Barony of the Stonelands (a Crown attempt to get someone to settle and tame them, put in good roads, and make them truly part of Cormyr rather than a claim on a map.
If you're already really rich, a knighthood AND land grant (waving the chance at a future baronial title), and if already noble, an office (such as Warden of the Ports, or Warden of Tunland). @rpgpizzaria
...time "at home"? Yes. Building strongholds (interacting with tradesmen, quarry suppliers, etc.)? Yes. My "home" players want to immerse themselves in the Realms; they have sideline jobs, investments, friendships and business relationships they work on, and so on.
Hey @TheEdVerse, we've heard and seen a lot about the dragon denizens of Waterdeep, but what about Baldur's Gate, are there any noteworthy or interesting draconic (or other powerful entity) denizens living within the city? @TheEdVerse
Heh. You have run hard into a very hard and solid NDA. Which was no doubt enacted by Wizards to keep errant designers from creating something that would give Larian Studios a design headache.
So let me just say this: pre-NDA, I'd have had a meaty answer for you.
And may still have in time to come, if I can get the NDA lifted. As for powerful beings: hie thee to my YouTube cannel and watch the Baldur's Gate video I did months ago...and you'll have an answer. :}
@TheEdVerse watched your latest bg3 stream where you met volo, seems to me someone let it slip to Volo he was gunna be in some form of media about the absolute crisis or something, ie the events of bg3, that he went on a diet, got a haircut, and probably invested in a few potions to ensure he looked as good as possible, does that seem like something volo would do or would this be more so do to how his depictions have changed over the years? @TheEdVerse
Oh, it's certainly something Volo would do. The man hath his vanity, and thanks to needs for disguises to escape retribution often, has become good at cosmetics, wardrobe changes, and the like.
In AD&D, would you allow a wizard to teleport onto a ship that he owns without knowing its current location? @TheEdVerse
Yes, the teleport can be done. Here's the trick: a chalked area on a deck, or a rug in a cabin, or a kept-clear closet is the "known familiar destination" for the jaunt.
This is OFFICIAL.
How so?
Well, this was the result of a long philosophical argument over beer: Gary Gygax, Len Lakofka, Jim Ward, and me.
Back and forth the points flew, amid much discussion , but in the end, Gary agreed with this interpretation. With a warning: DMs MUST police with barriers to teleportation, or "the abuse will be MASSIVE." (His words.)

Can any Forgotten Realms fans familiar with 2E and Elminster's Ecologies tell me if any of them actually cover the northern Moonsea area that I circled? Thar to the East and Cormanthor to the South each have their own books. What does this area fall under? @TheEdVerse
