I'll take a stab at this one, as it's puzzled me for several days.
As you've hinted, Fillow, there are two separate Cynosures.
One is the neutral demiplane in the Ethereal Plane which contains the meeting place of the Faerunian pantheon (or, more specifically, the Circle of Greater Powers) [Faiths and Avatars, p23].
Another is the former Temple of the Overgod Ao, erected in Waterdeep by the cult of Ao after the Time of Troubles and now used as a rental hall by the Lords of Waterdeep [Faiths & Avatars, p30; City of Splendors, p60-61].
Therefore, it's possible for all to enter Cynosure (Waterdeep's rental hall) while practically impossible to enter Cynosure (demiplane in the Ethereal).
How did I do, Fill?  |

Thanks, Fillow!
Next question...
Question 73: This scion of one of Faerūn's most notorious families married into a neighboring ruling family and was wrongly villainized for the resulting nigh destruction of that dynasty.
edit: complying with Fillow's format |

Monk', the question, with bold characters, bold ones ! 
And what about adding the number of the question ? (In fact, it could help me when I copy the questions in to the FR Trivia Challenge, questions and answers thread !) |

My bad, Fillow!
HINT: Our maligned one's identity may be located in an intriguing source. |

2nd Hint: Our maligned one proved tethered to her husband's dynasty.
My apologies for not earlier posting further clues, faithful Fillow. 
But, yes, you're on the mark with the source I used to generate this trivia question!!! |

Oh, another fave NPC! 
I had a bit of a hard time finding this one. I don't know why I thought of some of the related sources, but not the one this question comes from. 
It's not even been two weeks since I answered one... I know I'm in the safe zone, by my own rules, but I'm still giving someone else a chance. Besides, I once more failed to have a question prepared. |

I think the answer is : Priamon "Frostrune" Rakesk
I think it is from Lands of Intrigue. |

| Who struck a deal with the Blackstaff to deal with Frostrune rather than "taking care of him" themself? |

And... is it not a good day for a hint ? 
It is about the same character as the last question.
As for a hint......Hmmmmm

He is now something that fits the Twisted Rune's style better! |

Maybe some of us just like giving other scribes a chance before answering it for ourselves? |
