Nope. It's Steve. 
Oh, wait! Yes!! It is! It is Hizagkuur!! Previously mentioned in at least Dwarves Deep and Volo's Guide to All Things Magical, too. 
Your question, RW! |

I could not help jumping on that answer as it is near and dear to my heart, why so is related to my question!
#82 There is a lead character who has been in a least two novels/short stories and carries a weapon made of Hizagkuur. Name the character and their weapon. And for fun throw in the author's name as well! |

I was thinking Fox-at-Twilight, and her rapier Neveren's Betrayal? The author would be Erik Scott de Bie? |

If it is F@T then the author would be Erik Scott de Bie. |

I was afraid it wouldn't last long! Too bad as I have some juicy hints towards the author!!
The question is yours! |

Markustay, that was a good question! 
As you have already surmised, that answer is indeed correct.
Good answer and great question. |

I thought I had it, but the one I was thinking of is known as the Monastery City.
It does indeed sound extremely familiar. <insert head-scratching smiley here> |

Why do everybody forget the rule #3 of the original post of this thread ?...
Don't go to read it, here is it :
quote:
3. If no one has correctly answered a question within 24 hours of its posting, the posting scribe needs to provide a hint, and the hint must be informative enough to give others a chance to find the information. For example (drawing from the previous Trivia Challenge), if the question was "Who was Alisker Lathundown of Nuel?", saying "He's dead!" is not a sufficient hint. Saying "Alisker was one of seven, and the seven aren't as well known as the lady mage they served. He's definitely dead, but may or may not be still around." is enough information to aim people in the right direction. (He's one of the skulls that served Tashara of the Seven Skulls; he's named in the "Elminster's Notebook" article of the same name in Dragon 206.)

Hint time:
Ilmatari missionaries from Calimshan founded it during the Shoon Imperium. The city is a result of what grew up around their monastery. |

Gee, sounds like I should know the answer to this one, doesn't it?
Steven
who's going to leave this one for someone else to answer, mainly because he doesn't want to go to the basement and dig up the files |

If I am correct...

You called me Sage? (among many others of course !)
85- Which group is known for it's use of Destination Wagons, and who is accredited with the idea?
I will say : The Trueshields use these destination wagons and the Master Merchant, Dzentraven Thiomtul, is credited
with the idea !
EDIT : I forgot the source : Old Grey box, Cyc of the Realms, p.62.
I let the floor to another scribe... no time enough today (it's a great day today : End of WW1 commemoration. Thanks to your grandfathers or great-grandfathers dear US fellow scribes) |

I'll jump out there, then. I like asking questions.
This prominent female spellcaster collects small carvings of snails, toads, and frogs. She is known to have in her collection snails and frogs that were carved from gemstones in Myth Drannor, orbiting within a small spell cloud. Name her. |

So far as I know, there aren't any French people in the Realms. And if there are, then they would seem an odd thing to collect. |
