Indeed, Alaundo. If 'twas not for your efforts, I'm sure there would be no fairer library in all the Realms!  |
The Chosen of Vhaeraun
"Nature is governed by certain immutable rules. By virtue of claw and fang, the lion will always triumph over the goat.Given time, the pounding of the sea will wear away the stone. And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |

Alaundo, I was just looking at the Bibliography, and I noted something that didn't make the list: the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comic. It was set almost entirely in Waterdeep, and all of the main characters have since found their way into canon sources, largely due to Steven Schend (namely, Lands of Intrigue, Powers & Pantheons, and Cloak & Dagger). |

Well met
Indeed, Wooly Rupert. These comics of which you speak have been brought to my attention before. However, we do not have sufficient information on these tomes in order to list them. Details and images of these would be greatfully appreciated. Information in the same vein of the Forgotten Realms comics are what is required. Take a look at this one for example.
Once therein, we can also include them in the bibliography  |

Ack! I can provide everything but cover scans... Mayhaps I should look around on-line and see what I can find... |

Truly a magnificent collection of Realmslore . . . 
I'm truly amazed by the amount of work and effort that goes into maintaining this wonderful site. And, just looking over the contributions of wondrous Realmslore, it's easy to see why this site is again becoming so popular with visitors.
To Alaundo, and the rest of the Candlekeep miracle-workers . . . thank you all . . .

Indeed Alaundo thank thee for the new Realmslore. Cormyr does sound interesting and with an extra long summer break this year I might have to prepare a Campaign Set in this land. That and attempt to finish of Cloudvale.
I have really enjoyed the Art Gallery, and it as well as the material has reminded me just how great a site Candlekeep Really is!
Ed Greenwoods Collected Resource is also a great Idea!
I also like how there is still much 2nd Edition material available!
And Many thanks to Tethtoril for the outstanding work he has completed!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Thank ye Elrond. 'tis indeed a pleasure to host Realmslore within the library and we will continue to display such within the halls so long as scribes and travelers continue to produce such fine material
The Cormyrian lore recently made available will be reformatted at some point for better viewing.
Yet more Realmslore will soon be diaplayed herein soon (hopefully within the next tenday). A scribes work is ne'er done  |
