Hello,

there was this clack I seem to recall from somewhere- or maybe it was a horny fever dream of mine and didn't actually happen? I remember it being in a collection of short things, probably a clack, and I remember seeing it online a long, long time ago, but little else. For all I know it wasn't Realmsian, or a clack.

I recall someone bringing back home a feminine statue of a black material. I think it was a nobleman, and maybe it was from Halruaa or from a ruin. Anyway, the construct was later tested in battle, I don't remember if against golems or against mercs, but it exceeded expectations during the fight.
I thank anyone who may have some information about it.

...clack?

Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

Earth names in the Realms are more common than you may think.

I don't have time to dig into the material for the specifics but it was a "Current clack" entry from 2E sources or from the "Eye on the Realms" articles. If I remember correctly, it's about a prince/lord of Lapaliya bringing the statue home from a black-dragon-dominated world and later finding out it can be animated. Actually might have been a few consecutive "Current clack" entries.

That clack was originally published in Ed's Elminster's Everwinking Eye article in Polyhedron #64 - "Daily Life in Mulmaster".

Rumors.
Some of the products and articles that dealt with a location would have a section on Current Clack. This was 'current' news and rumors that the DM could use as hooks. Some were expanded upon, but most were not.

There you go, thanks George! I had the wrong "Eye" series of articles.

It was a thing in a lot of 1E and 2E FR products, and it's one of many things that I wish they still did.
