Hmmm...that's a pretty good question. One part of me wants to say yes. As a growing nation, they need resources that aren't readily available within their still fertal-growing lands. But on the other, I don't see their neighbors being very kind and trading with them too. I think, for the most part they do most of their trading through Sembia and possibly a little here and there on their Western borders (save for Evereska and Elturgard). |

Anyone know anything about this? It isn't on the Loudwater map in the FRCS. Was there a purpose for this? I am not that familiar with the adventure itself, but I do not see it mentioned anywhere, so I have to wonder as to why it was drawn that way.

I'm currently running this adventure but don't have it with me here. On which map are you referring. not the one of Spellgard itself right, but one of the ones with the surrounding area? |

I looked at it last night. Do you mean the path heading east on the overland map? If so, I believe you mean the road going off into the "former desert", which is now the lush grassland (ok, maybe not lush, but no longer a desert) of Netheril. I imagine it was drawn so as to point DMs into having the adventure move onward into Netheril perhaps (or as a suggestion as such)...I plan on using Netheril, but I don't see my group heading in that direction with the nefarious scheme I have in mind.  |

| And to think, before I picked up this adventure I was under the impression that this adventure took place in the wizard's prison near Athkatla. Wasn't that called Spellgard too? |

Thanks Sage. I actually thought about it again last night, but decided against turning on my computer and playing the game until the information was revealed |

| Does anyone know the answer to this...was Spellgard (then known as Saharelgard) a floating enclave that plummeted at the fall of Netheril, or was it always located where it currently is? |

| IDHTAIFOM, but I'm pretty sure Saharelguard was always a fixed location. |

I'm still don't confused, I think. I don't have the atlas in front of me, maybe?

My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering. |

Either that or I Don't Have The Adventure In Front Of Me. I think it's the latter. |

| My bad. The acronym means I Don't Have The Adventure In Front Of Me. It's a play on IDHTBIFOM (B is for book), which was an acronym I first saw about 10 years ago and was used by people who answered (e-)mailing list questions from work or while away from their book collection. |
