@McCarthy_JT

@TheEdVerse I was looking over a copy of the old Principalities of Glantri gazateer earlier this year, and a peculiar idea sort of took up residence in the corners of my mind. Without putting it all out there, is there any chance that there was ever an intention or an idea of connecting Mystara and the Forgotten Realms in any sense through the Principalities?

@TheEdVerse

Yes. Unofficially, so DMs could run a high-level "across the worlds" campaign (like the later Planescape or the Spelljammer novels that involved travel from TSR world to TSR world), but the product lines remained distinct legally.

(Magic wielders controlling portals.)



Given the original requesters hints, I'd bet it revolves around the athora of Thay (or something similar) and the radiance / aka Nucleus of the Spheres. Of course, there's also the similarity between the name of "Mystra" as the goddess of magic and the world name of "Mystara".

There's also the nucleus of the spheres paradox which in some small ways resembles the Abeir Toril split.

Ed also said there was a portal connecting the Five Shires to Luiren, and that one was settled by hin from the other -- but he didn't specify which settled which.

On 'sunsigh'

Kokopelli — 11/10/2024 10:01 AM

Friend @Ed Greenwood, I was just re-reading your write-up of Nimbral, posted lo these many moons ago on the WotC site, back when they routinely gave us free lore. I found myself noting one particular thing: "sunsigh (that moment after highsun when the sun has clearly passed its highest point)" – is this reckoning of time used elsewhere in the Realms, or is it purely a Nimbran thing?

Ed Greenwood — 11/10/2024 12:08 PM

It's a Nimbran thing, but has spread to a few sages and far travelers, purely because they like the idea. However, use it in other company, and the reaction will be bewilderment.
