The session is never filmed or taped. Candlekeep session was fun. Panelists were Jim Lowder, Erin Evans, Eric Menge, Erik de Bie and Brian Cortijo.

Eric de Bie advised that he was working on a Westgate product for the DMs Guild and Brian said that he wants to publish the Cormyr Lineage there also. Eric Menge provided info on his Moonshae product already at the Guild. The novel line was discussed in depth (don’t hold your breath for anything other than Salvatore novels) and general quesfiond were taken from the gallery. A handout on the origins of the Zulkirate in Thay based on seminal lore from Ed Greenwood was also given to the attendees. It will be made available both here at the Keep and for free at the DMs Guild in due course.

Wonderful stuff, friend Krash, as always.

I have to wonder about one thing, though... "Following the defeat of the orcs, Tarloth took on many guises and in one of them as a disciple of Horus-Re, managed to steal and imbibe some of the khaledshran, an elixir of immortality derived from the precious divine blood of the dead deity Re and given to each incarnation of Horus-Re upon that individual’s ascension to the throne of Mulhorand. His longevity secured, Tarloth then set about honing his mastery of the Art."

Why, if Tarloth had gained immortality, did he become a lich? Was the khaledshran more of a serious longevity thing than an immortality elixir? And if so, why didn't get grab more of it?

Or did he gain immortality but later lose it?

Of course, it also occurs to me that the latter phrase "the guise of Szass Tam" could mean that Tarloth didn't become a lich, and in fact is merely posing as one... Though the line "He is believed to have spent several centuries in the hidden city of Pholzubbalt, mastering the Dark Art and learning the secrets of lichdom from the greater lich Charchee." does argue against that theory.

I was actually going to ask about this immortality elixir but from a different angle, if the pharaohs are so immortal why weren't there more of them (in 3000 years history I think I've only seen a Pharaoh name with a III as the highest number. But you've already answered that question so I have a different one.

Would you be willing to reveal when the last of the undying ones lived or died or reigned. Just so I can pinpoint when the elixir ran out.
