Yes, I agree... plus Dungeon #30 is very very ancient and so impossible to get hold of now. If only someone would arrange for these to be downloadable from some location (legally of course!).

Some of you might like to look at the Forgotten Realms Quiz at the Worlds of D&D boards and give the posters there a hand with my questions.
It's fun! It's easy! |

While many of us love the Realms, having the source material is not always possible. As much as I'd like to browse e-bay for old edition material, I don't always have the time or money. Sometimes it is tough enough keeping up with the current books.
That said, perhaps we could try to have the majority of the questions answerable to those who read the novels and/or have the v.3.0/v.3.5 materials? Throw in the early edition questions on occasion if you've seen related material come up in discussion here at the Keep lately.
This and 2cp and you'll still be poor. |

I don't know that I'd go that far... But I do favor keeping it to the more mainstream sources. No questions off the Realms-L list, for example, or questions from the comics or computer games...
Even leaving those things out, there's just so much available lore in 1st and 2nd edition... We don't have a tenth part of that yet in 3.x. |

Certainly fun, hardly easy Faraer. Your questions have to be the hardest I've seen because they are both specific and generic at the same time with nary a place/person name or product hook to give you an idea of where to look. They lack realmslore, m'boy!

Ok - here goes, time to resurrect this scroll yet again. Good luck to all who wish to throw their hats into the trivia ring!
In response to concerns voiced in the most recent of posts I will start with a question with an answer available to those without an amassed Forgotten Realms library. As such this information is available in sources both very old and very new:
What does the rune Ullathar signify? |

| Holy carp! I'd forgotten that this was originally the work of my senile and long-absent friend SiriusBlack. Out of all the once-active scribes who have fallen silent, he's one of the ones I miss the most. |

Great Reader Masked Mage,
The Ullathar rune signifies safe passage. (Forgotten Realms Adventures, page 86) However, I'd like to add in there that the Ullathar rune is an elder rune. ;)
My question is:
What Inn is famous for having a magnificent tapestry depicting an Elven hunt, that is enchanted and has two hunting parties in extravagant armor and a nobles clothes pursuing a boar whilst their mounts negotiate all manner of obstacles?
