The first article in this series was the original article linked in Jeremy Grenemyer's opening post for this scroll. I've since linked to each and every article release from that time. |

| I liked the Elkaskyn Horncastle and Noble Investments one. In fact, I really liked the Noble Investments one for a more real world reason. If you portray the nobles of the realms as instead the well off investors/small businessmen of America, you can see the similarities of how they help shape the world economy so much more than the government giving out allocations. It behooves the realms to have nobles, and those nobles who are wise prosper... those that aren't, fail. Failure can be a good thing, one it seems the kings of the realms understand. |

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Hello All,
Forging the Forgotten Realms: Mirt Strides Out of the Mist is the first of a new weekly series by Ed Greenwood, wherein Ed talks about the Realms, where it came from and how he runs the Realms as a DM.
Already looking forward to next week's article!
This is free content on the main page. No DDI subscription necessary.
(Tip of the hat to Plaguescarred on the WotC forums for posting a link to this article there.)
Thank you for getting out the word. I have posted this over at dragonsfoot as well.

Great article for getting DMs to use swamp locations.
I like the bit about clearwater and its use by Marsembans to hide things in their own waterways. |

Someone's been watching iron man. If anything, I see this armor being an instrument of the church of Helm. |

Well, no. The Haunted Armor existed (in Ed's home campaign and notes, because we Knights had some passing involvement with it) before any movie starring any Marvel characters was ever made. I'll grant you Iron Man appeared in the Saturday morning animated cartoon around that time, and that Ed was a huge buyer and reader of comics back in the days when Gwen Stacey was still alive in Spiderman, but . . .
Ed's writing some brand-new stuff and dusting off ancient treasures and writing about them in a new way for this column. I'm enjoying it hugely, and waiting for things and events and characters and power groups I know to pop up. 
love,
THO |

| Whip me if I am breaching code of conduct, but if anyone's interested I have compiled all "Forging the Realms" - articles so far and put them together in a PDF file with page numbers and a list of contents to easily find the article. I'm working on doing the same for "Adventure Locales". |

That's cool.
As it is, some of us have long been adherents to saving Wizards Realms online content to Word or PDF files, with varying degrees of success.
It's a particularly useful habit to have when Wizards start shifting/removing content from their website and it becomes more difficult to find/access. |

Indeed. I've long saved the interesting content to Word files, and have way more than I care to organize. I also save interesting lore from these forums to text files. |
