In Lore from the Sages - 2005 (http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/misc_lore_2005.htm)
On December 12, 2005 Steven Schend said: Bear in mind you're asking me questions on things I wrote nearly 10 years ago, so the memory's fuzzy....
1) Sure--as many survived as your campaign needs/wants. This is the answer I always try and give, unless I've a really good reason to shut the door on future developments (a trick I learned from Ed).
Remember that my answers here are not to be considered official canon--just my opinions and natter.
2) Absolutely. The "Most of..." gives you as the GM the wiggle-room to justify whatever plot twists you wish into your game.
I love the idea of their being linked to Moander and Finder (and perhaps even Oghma, the traditional god of bards).
Then again, why not create something new--a cult/religion of a new goddess who is allegedly the daughter of Lurue and Silvanus (or Fenmaril Mestarine) who is worshiped by bards and rangers and half-elves as a protector against the corruption of woodlands specifically? She's a protector of both health and beauty, two things that make woodlands special in her eyes.

Just stirrin' the pot a little....
Does anyone know what Mr. Schend was referring to (preferably with a link)? I can't locate the original conversation anywhere.

It was a reply about , "Tsornyl clan of moon elves" asked by user Foxhelm

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Oh. I thought you were going to ask about personal lore of mine.
Never mind.
Steven
who could mention he's working on collating many many secrets on Blackstaff Tower (the locale, not the novel) but doesn't know when or how it'll come to light…but doesn't want to get your hopes up… |
