Afetbinttuzani, you might want to post your question here

Agreed. I actually forgot to state that in my reply to Razz earlier.
'Tis probably best, since Rich has said that he wouldn't be as focused on answering questions here anymore. Instead, preferring to focus just on answering questions about the Realms on the Wizards boards.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Hello RB.
Well, I would like to thank you for your works. I've just read complete Last Mythal and I enjoy this much. Read this also help me in my game table, creating histories and giving my players more depth in elven character (There is 2 in my table). This made me thoughtful of buy more novels. I'm planing to buy the books that tells Elminster history at amazon.com. The problem is that with the ship rate and the exchange Dolar/Real it's almost 5 times expenser for us in Brazil. For last, I´m very sorry for my friends that can´t understand english. Here in Brazil, only Salvatore's Icewind Dale trilogy is translated, but many people like me could read more FR novels in english. And then, when rarely they do, they keep reading all Salvatore's or Greenwood novels, and just after more than 20 books they start reading other authors. For me was different, 'cause I love Avatar Trilogy and read this first. My point is, I want made others autors of FR books, like you and Elaine, knowed here in Brazil. I want to start a association of FR books fans and I´m was wondering if you could send some message to brazilians, to persuade then to read your book. Maybe, with this, more people will buy your books, the market will grow up and maybe, the editors could translate some others books to the portuguese.
Thank´s a lot! |

Ingo, in the interests of Rich seeing your post, you might want to consider shifting it over to the Wizards boards. As you can see from my and Ashe's posts above, Mr Baker isn't as active here at Candlekeep as he used to be.

Is Mr. Baker still involved with the Realms or even at WotC? his last post was May 2008...
PS: which perhaps beg the question that questions should be asked on other author threads or even addressed internally... perhaps it's time for a "Question for the Sage" thread or somethin'... |

He still posts on the Wizards boards. But he hasn't been back to Candlekeep since August '08. And he made it clear just before that time that he was intent on just focusing on comments/questions made over at WotC. Thus, his current state of silence here at Candlekeep.

Well, maybe he didn't like all the author bashing that happened here. Most likely the higher are keeping a close leash on him. Sometimes the anti-4ed discussion here get a little heated. |

they get heated anywhere.

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Mostly, it had to do with Rich being unable to keep up with questions made both here and at WotC. His work at Wizards was increasing at the time he made the decision to leave these halls, and he, rightly so, thought it best to dedicate himself just to one online venue for questions about the Realms and its development.

Allright. So, we could go on asking him question here in CK and do as THO do about Ed's questions if one scribe of us does the "copy/paste" action from CK to Gleemax threads and reversely...
So, next question for Richard please !... Who has one ?

I suppose that's possible.
While it would really just be easier for scribes with questions for Rich to post them over at WotC, some members of Candlekeep don't have Wizards accounts. Thus, if they don't have Gleemax accounts, these scribes could post their queries here and ask any other scribes who, like myself, have Wizards accounts to relay their queries for them. |

Hiya!
I have a question concerning the Kur-Tharsu (Ogre Magi) of the lands of Thar.
In your article concerning Thar titled "The Tribes of Thar" you write that Kur-Tharsu means "Overlords of Thar"
Could you break down what the pieces of that mean? For instance, does Kur mean "Overlord" in Giantish, or King...or...?
I would greatly appreciate it! |

If you have a WotC account you might want to PM him. He will reply to his PM's. At least he has replied to mine.
There is also the WotC Bookclub... |

Indeed. His account here shows very little activity over the last lot of years. Better luck at Wizards, I think. |

Red Walker, do you by chance have the link to that bit of information? I scrolled over his blog but didn't see that part and I am terribly interested in this! |
