Came across this little blurb about Byers' Sundering novel: The Reaver.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Reaver-Sundering-Book-IV/dp/0786964588
It relates some thematic elements and character names. Hearing about the little boy "Stedd" makes me immeasurably happy. I hope that we'll eventually find out more about the Lathander-Amaunator issue and see how that plays out in a time where people are desperate and scared with the world changing again. Exciting and fun! And who doesn't love undead pirates?

I vaguely remember Stedd was one of the Chosen the Most High imprisoned in Shade. It is in the third excerpt of The Godborn, I think. |
Every beginning has an end. |

And Richard shared this nugget in his Scroll :

I like aboleths, but there are so many cool things on, under, and around the Sea of Fallen Stars that no one novel could incorporate them all. I had to select elements that would fit together to make what I hope is an entertaining, cohesive story.

As much as I love aboleth-inspired Realms tales, I am particularly intrigued by what other underwater creepies Mr. Byers will sprinkle through the telling of The Reaver. |

as well at what could be "on" the Sea of Fallen Stars.....that caught my eye. |
