A quick question, again related to Blackstaff Tower:
I was hiking yesterday with a few friends. It was hot and muggy, and I opened my buttoned shirt down to about my navel. One of my friends, a FR reader like me, remarked 'Are you trying to look like Ashemmon?' ('cause in Blackstaff Tower, when Laraelra meets his ghost, he's described as wearing a robe revealing his chest to navel). Another friend, who doesn't read FR, asked 'Is Asemmon a rapper I haven't heard of?' We said 'no'. 'Ah, a gangster, then?'
It dawned on us that the way I (and Ashemmon) wore out clothes was typical of rappers and gangsters (down to tattoos - Asemmon's, not mine, I don't have any).
Were you aware of this, Steven? And does anybody else have a comment, perhaps?
Ashemmon is wearing a robe, and pants, but no shirt. If his robe were open, his chest would be showing. I wouldn't characterize this as similar to a rapper or gangster, personally, merely a gentleman who is rather.. comfortable with his own skin. |

Thanks a lot for the answers, though. They're a great help.
EDIT: Also re-reading Lands of Intrigue... especially the Tethyr part. So I have many questions: Elminster mentions Shoon IV and Shoon VII, who were both 'evil incarnate'. Now, we have a tale of the cruelties of Shoon IV (the Death March). How about one of Shoon VII, who according to El, was even more abhorrent?
What exactly was the treachery Amahl VII used to defeat King Silvyr?
What was the Sword of Starlight, and where is it?
WHat did the elves really do to Lord Dinos Akhlemere?
Where did the 'Retreat of the Elves' go to? I'm betting on Evermeet.
I'm not Steven, but I'll have ago at some of these:
For Shoon VII, see the write-up for the Tome of the Unicorn.
For Amahl Shoon VII, he used poison in his duel with Silvyr.
For the Sword of Starlight, this is another 'dangling realmslore hook' that Steven was a master at leaving behind in his writings. In other words, the answer to your question is whatever suits you.

Steve,
I'm not sure if this really an appropriate question or a waste of your time, but I wanted to put it out there. In my campaign, I'm using Khelben in a cameo position to sort of set up future events. I'm running Ruins of Adventure (Phlan, 1340) and will eventually lead into Curse of the Azure Bonds. One of the PCs (Anton) was left behind as the party got routed and he was taken unconcious to the wizard Yarash's pyramid up river. There he was marked with a series of blue tattoos up and down his arms and back. I'm leaving the hint that this is part of the protype for the Azure Bonds, themselves. He was also implanted with something that made him more or less a human shield golem. The party managed to defeat him in combat later, without killing him, but he remained comatose for quite some time.
He's a Cormaeril and his uncle, Dasmer Cormaeril, was able to pull some strings to have Khelben Arunsun "come and take a look." He will be able to return Anton to conciousness and coherant control of his own body. Several PCs will at least tangently encounter him while he remains in Phlan and I'd really like some guidance into making him memorable and truly Khelben. I've read Blackstaff and I've read other books in which he made an appearance, but if you had a couple of minutes to throw some thoughts out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
-Chris |

I can, of course, see them changing their stance on this last point, given the apparent demand for such lore (as evidenced here at CK, for a start), and I suppose that answers my question, doesn't it? If not, please share any other answers you may have. Particularly if they relate to Khelben's extended family, esp. the Thann and Wands connections. Yes, I'm persistent. I suppose that all I can do is wait... but I've never liked waiting.  In the meantime, whatever you can tell me that doesn't violate NDAs is greatly appreciated... however little that may be. |

It's not necessarily an NDA, in this case. Keep in mind that friend Steven is a fan of leaving as many mysteries as he solves.  |

It's both, I'm afraid.
I'm still tied to NDAs of long ago as well as the idea that it's better for you folks to have the freedom to make up what works for your campaigns.
Also, I'm well aware I've unwittingly stepped on other creatives' toes in the past by stating things as I understood them, so sometimes it's best to just keep my mouth shut.

Thanks very much, Brimstone.
To answer your question, definitely. If I can ever finish the novel in progress.
In the meantime, just go to my website and use the tags to find info and links to things about AJ, Sam, Oscar, etc. Then again, I could provide some links for that as well.

And to keep this even mildly within the scope of FR, my site also has lots of hints and hooks for a fantasy campaign (including the Realms, if you'd want to use Kharndam as one of the Torilian continents):

No, I believe he was simply a member of the mages' guild, not a Greyhand. And no, I can't say one way or the other whether or not that organization still exists. They're protected by the greatest magic known: NDA harnesses. |

Interesting.
See, I speculated previously abut a tidbit in Blackstaff Tower that made me think of the Grey Hands. 'Tis on pg. 191. A bit about all grey-robes possessing wands that allow them to paralyze or slow their opponents. This rang "Grey Hands" bells in my mind.

Steven... any thoughts on asking our own Markustay for a map of Kharndam? A world that vividly described needs a map... or maybe it's just the way my brain works, ever since reading Tolkien and being just as fascinated (if not moreso) by the maps and appendices as by the stories themselves... but that also explains why I'm such a Realmslore junkie. I'm working on building my own Arunsun-Thann-Wands genealogy, but I'm not finding enough information about relationships between characters outside of the main Arunsun line. Can you direct me to some published sources that might assist me in this quest? If it was published for the Realms and not a novel, I probably own it, but possibly don't have it with me at the moment; one notable exception is the Waterdeep Trail Map.  |

I'll eventually do some rough maps of Kharndam for the site and if anyone does better versions, more power to them.
Can't help any more re: published sources of info on the geneologies, as 99% of that info only exists as my draft notes now locked under NDAs, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the response, Steven. No surprise re: genealogy info... I'll have to dig through the pile of published Realmslore on my own, I guess... fortunately, there are many far worse things one could be required to do.
Looking forward to seeing maps of Kharndam. |

Azuredge is fully detailed in the old City of Splendors boxed set. Page 97 of the Campaign Guide to the City. There are other references to it scattered throughout the boxed set.
The 3E version is in Magic of Faerūn, page 168. |

'Azuredge' is a magical artifact that was crafted by Ahghairon in Waterdeep, and 'twas infused with the soul of the Warlord Lauroun. Steven originally set it up as an adventure hook in the 2e City of Splendors tome to:- " ... allow the PC party to get a hold of the axe to give them ties to the city and to give them an immediate, if unknown, hook with Khelben."

| So I'm rereading The Lord of the Rings right now (inspired by playing a lot of Lord of the Rings Online)... I just finished The Two Towers. And it occurred to me while reading it that Treebeard and his buddies deciding to guard Orthanc is much like Turlang and his buddies guarding the site of fallen Hellgate Keep. Was this intentional? |
