G'mornin' Candlekeep! Just because everyone else was doin' it, I figgered I'd post my version of realmslore durin' an' after that so called "high-fallutin' disaster" known as Spellplague. This here lore's set in 3.5 edition.
(Turns on Rebel to Yankee Translation Device) As of 1512 DR
For today I'll keep it simple, with my notable Npc's, in lines not stat-blocks, add-ons later.:
Merridyn Tiggerwillies (Entreri): Male NG Half-halfling Rogue/13, Swashbuckler/2, Dervish/3. The son of Dwahvel and "just plain Artemis".
Zhai: Female CG Half-drow Wood elf Fighter/3, Rogue/12, Merchant Princess 5, Aristocrat 7. The new queen of Vassa-Damara. Widow of High king Rannek.
Cattie-Brie: used a ritual of vitality (Savage species) to become a drow female. Archmage of Silverymoon, wife of Drizzt (officially now).
Artemis: is still kicking thanks to being shade infused, alignment now LN. Lives with Dwhavel (who used a potion of longevity) in Waterdeep. Owns a school of fighting, honorable and respected Open Lord.
Drizzt: Now high-regent, or for all intents and purposes, king of Mithral-Hall after Bruenor's death. Friend of Obould VI, Col of Icewind-Dale, and would you believe, Artemis E-oops, I mean, Artemis?
Col of Icewind Dale: Female CG Human Fighter/10, Barbarian/8, Ranger/3, Queen of the Republic of Icewind Dale. Aging, has trouble with some of the Elk because she is a woman, and that her parentage was from an adopted daughter. (Colson was queen before her. Drizzt and Regis returned her to her father, she faced the same gender bias.) Needless to say, she can still beat the ears off of anyone who challenges her.
Ydrissara Aumar: Female NG Human Wizard/20, Archmage/5, Wizard-Queen/6, The only child of Alyssara and Elminster, she has taken over her mother's role in Algarond. Simbul is in semi-retirement with El. Or to hear their daughter, "A perpetual honeymoon".
Shakti Hunzrin: Became a fully-fledged Vehraunite after she was discovered by house Baenre. Her house survived because of the intervention of Gromph, who owed her a favor. He teleported them all outside the city as Triel blew the house to smithereens. Now a dual priestess of Eilistraee and Vehraun, with their consent. CG in alignment, she is now a chosen of "The Dark Siblings". How is that possible? Wait and see. The house has no evil members left in it.
Any other's you'd like info on? Name a region, World above, or Underdark. I'll get into politics and religion later.
Yes I used some of my own PrCs. Please give me some feedback.

Re: your sig: "4E canon" is an oxymoron, imho...
I like what you've done with Catti-Brie. How do the dwarves of Mithral Hall like having a drow in charge?
More interestingly, how does Vhaeraun like having a good-aligned Chosen and priestess? And I'm assuming you're ignoring 4E canon regarding deicides (Eilistraee, Kiaransalee, Vhaeraun, Selvetarm, Deep Duerra, Laduguer, and Helm in particular). Bigger pantheons are more interesting. Besides, the 4E drow are basically humans with darkvision and magical abilities. They're monotheistic and not at all nice as a society. 
How's Cormyr? Much as described in the early (free) Insider article? That was the only one I bothered with, but if Ed's going to be a regular contributor to D&DI, I may have to reconsider...  |
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. |

I never saw the Insider article, thankee much for tellin' me, pard. As for Vhaeraun, he is no longer crazy (now CN), so I guess he's okay with having a good-aligned chosen, though he's a bit miffed that she's female. Yeah, I'm ignoring a lot of the pseudo-sense within 4E (such as the 19 deities crap), but it has some good points.
The Dwarves are actually ok with Cattie's decision, as it did extend her lifespan, and was somewhat necessary to keep the hall alive.
I'm in the process of writing a pdf containing all my non-canon stuff. Check back in a few days.
Edit: I'm currently adding statblocks to the characters should be up soon. |

Hey, when I started reading this it went from things I really liked to more and more disagreeable things... I really think dwahvel/entreri having a kid is a nice idea, and catti-brie, and Ydrissa are interesting, and good ideas (I would have gone with catti-brie turning moon elf, or just potions of longevity, given anti-drow sentiments in Silverymoon(I dont think drizzt could save the world enough times to overcome an average gold elf's racism)). I don't think Artemis would want to be a lord of waterdeep at all(personally don't think it suits him) but Open Lord? If you want to make him a ruler, calimport would be more accepting of him openly, and you could have made him hidden lord of waterdeep which would seem more fitting than open lord. To me, Open Lords are the face of the government in Waterdeep. And I can't imagine anyone thinking Artemis, former(maybe unknown) assasin, half-shade, and someone who doesn't ever respect authority to be the face of a law abiding city. But, thats just my opinion of him from the impression I got of his personality from the books.
And Drizzt... I can see him becoming regent, but not staying for too long. He'd choose a successor somewhat quickly, both because his wife is elsewhere, and because he longs for the road. It was stated before that he knows he cannot sit still for too long, much prefers life of adventure. And given Clan Battlehammer, finding a good leader wouldn't be too hard.
Shakti: don't see her becoming full good, but can imagine the dual priestess of elistraee and vhaerun. I would think wihtt 1 cg goddess and 1 evil god being worshipped, both with (likely) the demise of their mother in mind, that she would be CG, bent on revenge against all that is Lloth, and more specifcally menzoberranzan.
also, about Col, what does the "Republic of Icewind Dale" consist of? Is it just the tribes of barbarians, or does it add Ten-Towns in as well? Given her mother's lineage, may also include Auckney? Also, somewhat disagree with the returning of colson to wulfgar, but could imagine Col coming into being if, after Wulfgar takes a wife from the tribes, he has a son who grows up to lead the tribes, and that son marries Colson, who has become Queen of Auckney, and that results in formation of greater kingdom of Icewind Dale.
always fun to read about other people's Realms |

| RBL... do you have a link to that PDF? Or have you not had time to finish it yet? Just curious; I'm interested in seeing what else you've put together. |

Hey, thanks for the check-up, my hard drive crashed, so I had to re-type the darned thing. It'll be up at the off topic board of www.theacorncafe.org (A Chip and Dale/Disney Afternoon fan-fourum) by next friday, I'll post a link then in my sig.
Stranjer: Thanks for the feedback, and I've come to agree with you on certain points. On why Cattie is a drow, simply, I like drow!
Also, I got the idea of Artemis being a well-known and respected lord from the fanfiction of Arcole on fanfiction.net (Damage, Dawn, and Disaster) and I have taken a liberty in making all lords of Waterdeep "open" as of 1408 DR. |
