Just a follow up: no go with FedEx, can't get the article printed and delivered in Indianapolis, despite managing to do so last year ... go figure. I've sent the article to Brian and Erik so maybe they can save the day, but at this stage, enjoy the CON in any event.

If Greenwood is there in 2017…. to meet and greet Realms fans…. I'd attend my (third) GenCon.
I skipped the last 2 years. |

AFAIK, Jeremy Crawford was there.
Anyway, I'd also like to know what was discussed at the Seminar, if possible. |

There was a lot of talk about the novel line, WotC's current production model, and the upcoming movie.
Of course, we had some general lore discussion, as well, mostly about the deities. There was also some talk about the NPC handouts, their factions, and use of the NPCs.
Jim Lowder was one of those that showed up, wearing a nifty TSR lanyard that must have been around for quite some time -- but it was one I'd buy in a heartbeat, if it was available! Mike Schley was also there; I went fanboy on him for a few minutes. 
Ed's Onder Librum was also discussed, and some of the creator-types discussed some future personal projects that may come to fruition at a later date -- I'll not say more on the latter; it's not my place.
Brian and Erik were able to come through on getting Krash's article printed out; it's some really good stuff. |

WotC had no official representation.
Neither did Kobold Press, which disappointed me -- I liked their booth last year, and I got to meet one of the designers who had helped write a lot of stuff I liked.
I did get to meet Sean Reynolds at the Monte Cook Games booth, and I went fanboy on him, as well. |

It was more of a general discussion, but Jergal and the various sun deities were specifically discussed, as well. |

The file has been emailed to Big Al to upload to the main site. We are just waiting on him.
I will make a confession: when I first saw the file name, I misread it as "Layla Maurshanta", instead of Lalya Maurshanta -- so I was expecting a write-up of an NPC! |

Well met
The file will be made available on the Candlekeep site on Thursday, along with some other updates.
Many thanks for George Krashos for sending this through  |

I hear you Adhriva and I promise I will bug you going forward. It's just that I had no time to plan for art given I was really, really wrestling with the lore and the sources to bring this one together and plus I had to get it to Gen Con and factor in the photocopy cost ... I will hassle you down the track however - never fear!
