Okay... the Obarskyr genealogy as we currently know it (pending the as-yet-undetermined release of the authoritative document) is now in PDF form and ready for distribution. A major known issue is that, because I'm using a print-to-PDF app, it's in 25 letter-size pages, 11 of which are blank, and without a PDF editor I can't edit out the blank pages or otherwise reformat the document, which is excruciatingly annoying. I'll try to copy and paste everything into an image file and see if that works; otherwise, I'll need someone to format the document for me before it's ready for hosting.

Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

- Wouldn't that be Mask in these here parts? Or is Mask and Oldy the same god?

Not exactly on-topic chat, but I find it amusing, so (since I started this scroll) it can continue, unless the mods are going to be topic-Zhentarim (in order to avoid unpleasant RL references).
Okay... the final canonical version (including recent data from the (*wince*) 4E material) is ready to go. The file is now 30 pages with 12 blanks after adding three generations of Obarskyrs to the tree. If anyone's more up to speed on 15th-century Realmslore than myself, I was unable to find a birth year for Foril's older brother Emvar; we know it's before 1409, and that's about it. I also have no dates at all for Foril's son Irvel. If anyone has them, can you post them in this scroll? Whoever does the reformatting will have to make the changes; I've been using a trial version of a program that isn't worth buying, and it expires tomorrow (possibly at midnight tonight PST). It does a lot of things well, and a lot of other things very badly. Ashe? Wooly? I'll send it to both of you, and we can see whose version Candlekeep prefers... Ashe might have an edge here, being the professional.  |

ALL gods (and goddesses) are actually Loki. He's busy and almost as mischievous as a certain space hamster. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Yeah, but Loki has some bad PR. That's why I prefer Kokopelli and my patron saint, Coyote. |

Emvar was born in the Year of the Golden Mask (1405 DR).
Irvel was born in the Year of the Lashing Tail (1431 DR). |
