“Khalusk is a buried crypt city forgotten by most of Faerûn. Exuding an air of decay and necrotic ill will, the necropolis encrusts an island located deep within a subterranean vault, surrounded by the overflow from a sunless sea.”

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.

Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .

-Where is it? Based on the description of "an island located deep within a subterranean vault, surrounded by the overflow from a sunless sea", it sounds a lot like V’elddrinnsshar, which also could definitley be considered a necropolis.

-It has promise. I'll be honest, though- since it's a Bruce Cordell creation, I'm a little "scared", if you will, of what goes on there, taking into account some of his other creations.

--This ancient Netherese city is somewhere Northeast of Luskan.

--I'm scared too.

Hold me.

It's a fine article, and a great new piece of Cordell-lore. I'm just not sure where I can use it in my Realms.

-Oh well, there goes my idea. Although, northeast of Luskan can be defined pretty broadly...
