 Most Learned Sages,
I have looked through my sourcebooks to find info about the group referred to in the Lands of Intrigue boxed set as the Heralds. For instance, the book says that this person is the Heralds representative in this location. Are these the same Heralds who control Heralds Holdfast in the Silver Marches?

| I certainly believe that the Heralds man the Herald's Holdfast, it is a fortified library of sorts and runned by one of the five Heralds in western Faerun, Old Night is the leader of this fort. Old night is just a nickname, each of the five have nicknames and are called by their nicknames, I remembered seeing three more leaders's nicknames, but can't recall right now. |

They are the High Heralds, a splinter group of the Harpers.
Ed's Code of the Harpers tome has a full section on them.

| Ed has also given us other lore on them in the 2004 and 2005 replies. I combined them together and the table of contents and replies can be found on the main site :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Ed tells me there will be something on Heralds (and heralds) in Rule the Realms, now apparently renamed Power of Faerun.
Must get off this computer before I'm caught . . .

Thanks for the tidbit about the suspected name change for "Power of Faerun" THO  . It's good to see you back BTW...
I must say though, I preferred the older title  .
