Some Auril lore. Neat. As one of my favorite deities... Brian, you're scratching me right where I itch in terms of Realmslore. Good stuff.
Any hints as to what we can expect in said article? |

The article is mostly a geographical overview ala Manual of the Planes of Auril's divine realm within the Deep Wilds. Auril's palace, Winter Hall and several locations therein are described as well. Not an exhaustive examination but more than we've seen in the past.
And Gray Richardson was kind enough to review the article and provide fantastic suggestions. I cannot wait to see how it turns out. |

Eagerly awaiting this.
I'm bringing back Iyraclea in the Warlock Knights project, so an update on her divine patron will prove most helpful. |

Thanks for the link! Looks like a ton of good stuff (in addition to the Realms-specific stuff I'm looking forward to that Barbarian play test article). |
My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering. |

Indeed, some of these articles look interesting. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams." --Richard Greene (letter to Time) |

Thanks, Brian - I'm sure it will rock- I was just wondering how these gods would measure up what with Kossuth/ Grumbar/Istishia/etc. all being primordials now- is there any connection? Hint? Or do I have to wait to find out?:) |
