Hello, scribes! I'm looking for some information on the Trade Way between Calimport and Memnon. I've fgone through the AD&D supplements (Empires of the Sands and Empires of the Shining Sea specifically) and I'm looking for some details around the timeline of late 3rd edition. My game is taking place in 1377 DR, and the Spellplague isn't going to happen. I'm mainly wondering about the minarets mentioned on p.80 of Empires of the shining seas. It mentions a long series of minarets that are in the process of being restored, which provide a form of protection over the road when activated. Anyone know anything about this? Cause it'll sure make the trip different than I'd initially assumed, if they've been repaired? Also, what about Calim's Breath and Memnon's Crackle? Are these still active in the 3rd ed timeline? The walking Oasis?
Lots of this stuff in the AD&D supplements is so interesting, I can't believe I've never seen them mentioned in later incarnations.
I actually dug up a little info in 'Lost Empires of Faerun.' Not everything I needed, but it's a lead for anyone else who's looking for info on Calimshan in general.
