-HERE is the first of a few Elves of Faerūn preview articles I'll be releasing. Just trying to recruit some help, and garner interest. The background, the font, the format, this will be more or less what the finished product looks like.

Nicely written indeed, I'm very much looking forward to more of your work :)

Though there's something that caught my eye: While reading it I looked up the "Nycaloth" because I tend be confused by all the different yugoloths out there. Upon further reading I saw that you capitalize the word Nycaloth a few times, and lowercase it at other points in the text. The 708DR column is a good example of this. You may want to keep it consident through the text.

Methinks Champions of Ruin mentions one or two other draegloth (i.e. named NPC), which might be included in the write up.

As they say in those Guiness commercials

"Brillant!"



When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight.

I'm all excited about this project! Actually, the article on Uvaeren got me to writing and submitting one on Eaerlann. I hope it gains the esteemed scribes' approval. It's a shame there isn't a whole lot of published material on the ancient realms. I think it's quite wonderful that fans take part in a joint project to compile and preserve all the published and easily-forgotten lore, and perhaps expand the world in the process.
