i have a player who want's to geinto the moonstar organization.... he is member of a mercenari guild in waterdeep and a ranger of shevarash (sort of chosen sone he caries the bow of the black archer).... what would he need to do te get khelben and his agents atention... i mean it sound kinda weird to knock on blaskstaff towers door and ask, and he might get into trouble if he starts spreading rumors in taverns.... so , how do you get recruited by the moonstars ?

Well for one, u could use his link with Sheverash to get in touch with Khelben. If one carries the Black Bow of Sheverash one could use it to get in touch with Khelben.
Just destroy a city of drow for instance and u should get his attention.
If he is some kind of Chosen of Sheverash, I would use it in your storyline.
I wonder why he wants to join them though, being a sort of Chosen of Sheverash?? |

Well moonstars are harpers and as such they would choose to recuit a member, not the other way. Like harpers membership would be secret as much as posible. You do not join at the Moonstar hall to become a member, in fact you might not as a character even know the Moonstrars exist. The Harpers being a longer lived organization at least some of them are know (the harper pin) and so on. Even there membership is by invitation from what I understand.
To know of Harpers would be a rather high Knowledge check, to know leader would be a very high one. Moonstars being an upstart group the DC checks would be even higher. There might be rumors of both that contain truth and flase information.
You need a member of the group to sponsor a new member, then the org after looking at history and nature offer membership. |

| And for more information on the Moonstars, read the 2E sourcebook Cloak & Dagger, or the 3.5 book, City of Splendors: Waterdeep. The former source has more information on the group, and, in my opinion, is one of the best Realms supplements we've ever had. |

well there's no question he knows about them since he learned about them when the partys mage/priest questioned a dead agent ... they later reserched exactly what the guy was talking about and got some scraps of info on the moostars ( basicaly they know they very much resemble the harpers and they know about the badges... the second part being rather important information i feel)
i guess he cuold have already gotten the atention of some agents (more like the entire waterdeep cell) since he sorta chased a vhaeraunite priest and his son from the neverwinter wood all the way to skullport ( where he killed them in a "even darker" alley)
and i don't know why he absolutely wants to ba a moostar ... but it's a pretty good player who always plays elves and makes plans for the very distant future he knows he'll never play out ( since the rest of his party will be dead and burried by then )... anyways i guess i'll ask him next time around
anyway,thx for the feedback |

And as I recall, I asked Steven about some particulars regarding Moonstar recruitment earlier in the year. You can try a search in his personal scroll for the reply:- http://candlekeep.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3802
Or search through his compiled replies here at Candlekeep, located on the mainsite:- http://candlekeep.com/library/articles/so_saith_ed.htm
Actually, you want this link.

I've been bugging Alaundo to link that above link from the So Saith Ed because my TOC references both links but he's been putting me off. :) Cough. |

I didn't know of that one... I'm adding it to my list of useful links. Speaking of which...   |

Hey guys - Does the CoS:W book have the Moonstar symbol in it? I know I have seen it in one of my supplements - but for some reason I can not find it for the life of me. Help!

| Of course, if he really wants to show how ballsy he can be, have the character walk up to the front door of Blackstaff Tower and request an audience. The GM should have a ball roleplaying the run-around given the over-bold...or he just might be lucky to catch Khelben on his first slow day since 1037 DR..... |

| And of course he might get an audience just to let the mages of the tower get a look at that bow..... |

I believe only Cloak & Dagger is the only sourcebook with the actual pic of the symbol...... |

Is the illustration on the side of page 23 of Cloak and Dagger what you're looking for? |

Yeah, it was C&D like Kuje just said. There wasn't a symbol for the Moonstars in CoS:W as I recall...
