Don't know if anyone is paying attention, but Ed is up to installment 7 of his Unofficial History of the Realms at his Edverse website. I'm enjoying seeing his earliest thoughts on the Realms being rolled out for my musing.

| Odd...I have been checking the website regularly for updates, but have not seen anything new past the fourth update. |
Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver). |

| Are there any news about Ed's Unofficial History book that is supposed to be released at GenCon? That definitely sparked my interest. |

I'm going the other way right now Delwa. My 20 year old collection of photocopied FR lore is slowly being scanned into searchable, manageable PDFs. In a little while I'll have all my FR stuff on a single USB.

I'm slowly backing up things to a Google Drive account, but technology hates me enough, I like to have a physical copy. Though, I'd be more than happy to pay you to make a duplicate of that USB... |

| If the Unofficial History is released at GenCon, will it also be available to those unable to attend? |

Latest news from Ed: that particular book will be delayed - - perhaps as long as an entire year.
However, scribes, Ed tells me that you'll all know why just before GenCon, when a LOT will appear on Ed's website. Big Plans. Not necessarily Realms-related, but big.
I can't spill any more yet, but I wanted to save scribes from being disappointed, come GenCon time.
However, Ed WILL be releasing instalments in his 50th Anniversary history of the Realmson his website regularly (for free, of course), so keep reading . . .
love to all,
THO
P.S. And yes, it WILL be a book anyone can get, not just those who can make it to GenCon.
P.P.S. Wooly and Sage, a leetle bird tells me that someone will be contacting both of you, when the time is right, regarding something you've both expressed interest in, in the past. Can't say more yet (she teased, because teasing is what this Hooded Lady does), but . . . |

Eric wrote a piece on Jergal for some other work and then I massaged it by adding some further stuff, turning it into what is on the site.

My fancy is tickled, as well. And now that I've typed that, I must acknowledge it's a weird-sounding sentence. 
(In truth, I've been rather busy, of late, and had forgotten that promise ) |

| Is it just me or does the 'for the fans' hyperlink not work when you click on it (of course you can enter 'http://realmssecretariat.com/for-the-fans/' manually into your navbar and it will work)? |

I finally had some time to read this. Very good, George! A question: Is this the canon origin for the phaerimm? If so, this could mean the phaerimn could be present in other campaign worlds, like Greyhawk. The phaerimm could have played a part in the Sea of Dust's creation. |

No, it's not canon. Just Ed sharing my fan musings. He did like the piece though!
