Hi again, all.
Snowblood, Ed tells us this:
Tel Verinal is a small "waymoot" drow trading city deep beneath the eastern end of the Moonsea. Through a network of caverns rising up into the mountains east of the Moonsea, it trades with surface traders (notably ogres, hobgoblins, and bugbears, plus a few renegade independent humans of swift wits and ruthless ways), and has in the past successfully fought off several attacks from mind flayers and thaalud, driving both out of its vicinity.
Like most trading cities, Tel Verinal is dominated by no religion, and attracts the outcasts and oppressed/former slaves from other drow communities, making the bulk of its populace fierce opponents of drow (or other) clergy who desire to give orders to others in the name of any faith. Nor is Tel Verinal dominated by warring families or clans, or split down gender lines or even racial lines (drow holding themselves superior to other races). Rather, it is a rather lawless place of rough justice and wary tolerance [[think the Star Wars cantina]] ruled lightly by a Morym, or mayor (an elder drow of patience and tolerance), on behalf of all of the major cavern-owners.
The Morym keeps the peace by means of several hired mages (some human, some not) who ride driders whom they befriend and work with closely; they wield wands (notably some that can cause brief, small-area-effect blade barriers) that make them formidable in battle, and some of their driders command small packs of obedient spiders (deathjump and blade spiders).
The current Morym is an aging, feeble female drow with a prodigious memory for faces, names, and events, who can "read" folk almost unerringly, and anticipate what they'll try to do. She often deploys her "Morymdar" (the aforementioned police forces) before trouble erupts, so they're ready and waiting for what's about to unfold. Verinden (= inhabitants of Tel Verinal) both respect and fear her, as a result. So petty crime is frequent in and near the city, lone idiots can expect to be ambushed if they venture into the wrong place at the wrong time, and brawls erupt in taverns . . . but in general, life proceeds fairly peacefully. This is a place for trading, not righting wrongs or avenging slights.
Those activities often take place in the passages rising up into the mountains beside the Moonsea, or even on the surface itself.
So saith Ed, creator of the Moonsea, the Realms, blade spiders, and so on.
love,
THO |

Hi again, all.
Karth, I just found this in another ream of notes I took whilst adventuring in Ed's home campaign:
A major east-west street in the southern part of Loudwater is Windserpent Street, which winds quite a bit. Somewhere near the east end of town (I'm thinking the "upper toe" of the shoe, from memory), it crosses Harlgund's Way, which runs NE/SW. Larpentur Lane runs NW/SE across both, forming a triangular block in which stands Stelprur's Smithy, a busy, noisy place of crude, everyday blacksmithing (chain-making, tool making and repair, fastenings and fittings), and across Windserpent Street to the south of the triangle is Rundreth's, the largest wagonmaker (and repairer, and seller and reseller) in town. Many of Loudwater's poorer inhabitants live in small, dingy rooms located in the three-floor-or-less buildings crammed between the streets and alleys NE of this triangle, downwind of the smithy (and of several stables and slaughterhouses and a tanner that are near the Smithy, to the north and northeast, fronting on Larpentur Lane).
This is the only Loudwater neighborhood I took detailed notes on, being as we slept there (on a roof, not paying anyone) and hunted (and fought) several Zhents through it.
Hope this helps . . .
love,
THO |

Oh, a postscript: this would have been around 1358 or 1359 DR (the time of our visit to Loudwater). Torm visited the neighborhood again in 1361, and it hadn't changed much, to my (admittedly VERY fuzzy) recollection of what was said at the time between Ed and Victor (Torm's player).

Question: roughly how large is the southern half of the town, from 'heel to toe' and 'sole to laces' (palisade to river)? I can get the size of the north bank from that, by deduction.

Hmmm. Roughly just under a mile, east to west (the palisade doesn't enclose it all, by any means; Loudwater straggles along the riverbank on both sides of it for a bit, with lots of woodlots, tilled fields, pastureland/camping ground/unclaimed ground involved), and about a fifth to a quarter of that, north to south (it varies from a fifth at the west end, to a wider built-up area as one moves east - - and the river curves northeast; of course, the flow of the river is in the other direction, so from the river's point of view it comes south, curves to the southwest and then more west as it "passes through" Loudwater, which gains its name from the sound of its rapids, BTW).
love,
THO |

My theory is close to yours Jakk.
I think of it as thus: it is the same divinity as first created, just each incarnation is a different "interface" mystral, mystra, mystra/midnight , et al. It kinda like whenever the " interface" between the weave and the world is no longer in phase with the rest of existence...it Re-boots and upgrades into a new interface.
Mine as well.
If I take my comparison of the Weave as an 'operating system' that runs on top of the 'hardware of the universe', making it easier for mortals to work the 'wonders of magic', then the Mystryl/Mystra/Midnight names are all just 'versions', like Windows 3.5, Windows '95, Windows Millenium, etc, etc...
All of which are built upon the routines written into the original, for backwards-compatibility (arguably), so that each 'revision' is really just an upgrade and a patch to keep the whole thing chugging-along in an ever-changing environment.
The human/sentient component of the Weave is the actual patch - the living element needed to update the Weave every few dozen centuries or so. People change, and the Realms changes with them, and that aspect of the natural world winds up encoded in the DNA (or soul, or whatever). The sentient element is necessary for the Weave to continue to act as a current and simple interface for those humans wishing to use magic (without risking immense harm to themselves). Basically, it needs to "keep up with the times", as it were.
All the 'others' that have been the Weave are still there, under the surface, and Mystra can call-upon that knowledge when she wishes to, much the way a computer user can pull archived files up when they need something. The current sentience is dominate, but the memories and what-not are still present - all that changes is the personality of the current sentience, but not its functionality or archives.
And if you want to see that actual 'lines of code' for that interface, just get a close-up of the Crystal Sphere itself. Read Realmspace - its rather enlightening. 
At least, that's how I see things. Ed may have very different ideas. |

Hi again, all.
Jorkens, I found this in my notes:
Kaalinth (pronounced KAY-linth) is a now-vanished coastal fortress keep, a small city of folk inhabiting one sprawling stone castle dominated by a huge tower. It was blasted down by a dragon, who laired in the ruins, only to later be defeated by a cabal of dragon-riding wizards. In the battle, the ruined keep was almost obliberated.
It has since vanished.
Some controversy about its site, Amn or Tethyr (Velen?) most likely.
From the surrounding notations I made, it's clear my character heard this from a garrulous caravan merchant who had been liberally supplied with drink (by my character). We never followed this up, so its veracity is (as they say) untested . . .
love,
THO |

Thanks to you both, that's just what I needed. If he had been from Netheril or from ancient Waterdeep it would have been more inconvenient. For once I don't need to go against canon when doing anything here. |

Dearest THO and Ed,
I have a question about inheritance laws in Cormyr in 1356 DR. Can the owner of an estate with no heir will it to a religious organization? I have a player in my group who is in the process of establishing a library and shrine on land he was given for services to the crown, but due to his character's sexual orientation, he does not have any children to inherit it. Can he leave the land to the library or will the title default back to the crown upon his death? Any information you can give would be much appreciated. |

This depends entirely on the land grant and its language. Most lands in Cormyr default back to the Crown if there is no one to inherit it, unless that land is specifically enumerated in a will or testament by the owner.
There are, of course, nuances to the various applicable laws. If, for example, the person is not merely landed but titled, the land (or some portion of it) may or may not be attached or associated with the knightly or noble title the character possesses--which, in turn, means that if the noble title reverts to the Crown on his death, the lands will as well.
Of course, any and all Cormyrean lands can be seized by the Crown for crimes real or imagined, or some arcane technicality built into nearly all royal land grants. Depending on the size of the property, the nature of the faith to which its been left, and the value of the particular location, they may or may not exercise that right. Although the Dragon Throne doesn't make a habit of nabbing shrines or other holy places, they're certainly willing, when the need or desire arises, to take adjacent or associate lands, or chip away at holdings to lessen the influence of a local shrine or temple. |

THO merely wishes to preserve the original flavor of the setting as intended, and does not 'play favorites' with anyone, nor does Ed.
They serve to clarify things, nothing more. Oft-times, things were left ambiguous enough in the Realms for all ideas to be possible, so their posts become 'guidelines', not 'Rules' (kinda like the Pirate's code... I always knew THO had some Pirate in her)

Perfect. There's something coming your way, via The Sage. Please do have a look and let me know where I went wrong/right. If you and I can get a solid basic framework locked in, then Ed need only deal with the details.
Thanks again, lovely Hooded Pirate Girl... ;)

Much obliged, Sage. Sorry if I was insistent. It just so happens I have a little free time to devote to this right now. Once I get the bit in my teeth on something, I tend to charge hard. ;)
If/when it gets full approval from Saer Greenwood, I will of course make it available to Candlekeep, as it should be. About time I contributed something, I suppose... |

Hi again, all.
Thank you Karth, and Sage...and thank you, Markustay, for perfectly stating matters re. what Ed and I do (no rancor, Brace, if your speculation happens to be either right or "close enough"). 
Ed tells me he's spent some moments today happily immersed in some Realmslore that will benefit us all in the future, but not in a project from his pen. No specifics, of course; he just wanted us all to be cheered by the hope of Realmslore to come . . .
Ed lost his eyepatch at some point, but I'm sure will happily recall his glimpse of me with tricorn hat, false mustache, eyepatch, cutlass, open leather vest, cummerbund belt with two (false; the "flints" were pencil erasers) flintlock pistols shoved through it, big floppy bucket-top swashbuckling boots . . . and nothing else.
Ah, those were the Hallowe'ens! Trick or . . . yes, treat, of course, sir . . . purrrr.
love to all,
THO |

And I can't miss this opportunity to celebrate, just above this post, the 3500th post by our Lovely Lady Hooded.
Who along with a fair bit of warm-scribes-at-their-keyboards flirtation, has over the years conveyed to us enough canon Ed Realmslore to fill several sourcebooks, answered a lot of scribes' questions, cleared up much confusion, and become a friend to us all.
So thank you, Lady! Thank you!

Okay, another for Ed...
In my continuing quest to catalogue all relevant musical Realmslore references, I've been slowly working my way through a number of older sources. At the moment, I'm re-reading Realms of Infamy, whereupon I came across a particularly brief reference in your 'So High A Price' tale [pg. 3]. Specifically:- "Humming the latest minstrel tune, the wizard watched scorched feathers drift away."
I'm just curious as to whether you had any further details on this particular tune? |

I strongly suspect Ed does, because that story got shortened quite a bit to fit the wordcount, and I think one of the "easiest" cuts were four lines or so of the lyrics. Getting them out of Ed, now, that might be an achievement. We'll see . . .

Greetings, oh learned Ed.
A Wizard character of mine has a loving passion for cats. He's never seen without his feline familiar (which is often found all snug and warm on his shoulder) and often adopts strays to give as familiars to fledgling mages he teaches. My question is this-- what are the various breeds of cats found on Faerūn? |

Ah, well. Certainly, should the endeavour prove too time consuming or difficult, I'll understand if Ed wishes to turn his efforts elsewhere.
I'll simply craft something on my own, and maybe shuffle it along to Ed for further thoughts, eh? |

Speaking of Brace and "close enough"... no comment from Ed re: my theory on Mystryl/Mystra? That means that either I'm WAYYY off target with that speculation, or I'm "close enough" that Ed has no room within the NDA to say anything... hmm... for my purposes, I'll assume option #2...

Can Ed be any more specific about when in the future? I won't ask about the subject matter; I know he'd tell us if he could.
