A few things to share...
One: I have a question for The Hooded One. I ask it here because I know that she reads this thread and that Ed and his fans might like the answer to my question.
The Hooded One, which one of the Seven Sisters are you most like?
I am curious about which one you feel a kinship with.
Two: The Naughty Thought of the Day
Perform checks are needed for Bardic 'Music' abilities, but any performance will do. Including dancing. So basically, a bard could do a striptease to inspire courage, competence, greatness or various suggestions/mass suggestions.
Think about that! |

Hello All,
Who would Trolls worship in Faerun, say trolls that feel they have a right to their domain and seek divine help in not being wiped out, basically a clan/s of trolls who have gone from predator to prey? |

You have to remember that creatures and people can worship just about any deity, but not identify that deity in a way that is easily recognisable to outsiders. What I mean by that is that you could pick any Faerűnian deity for your trolls and have them worship it, but the trolls in question know the deity as "Argrak the Saviour" or somesuch. Hence they could be worshipping Ilmater or Torm or Helm or Chauntea or basically anyone who responds to their plea for divine aid. So pick the deity that suits (personally, I think that Ilmater, Silvanus or a nicer aspect of Malar would suit) and use it - just don't call it by it's "normal" name. Also, the book "Prayers From the Faithful" gives alternate names in the Realms for some deities, including Silvanus. If the deity you choose has alternate names, perhaps use one of them. That way, in game, anyone who meets these trolls and makes a Knowledge (religion) check with an appropriate DC can work out that these aren't your run of the mill, Vaprak-worshipping, flesh-rending trolls. Unless of course they are your run of the mill flesh-rending trolls who simply worship a different deity.

Thank you Mr. Krashos
Confusion came about when browsing Deites and Demigods, I assumed though that through oral tradition of said tribe of Trolls thats how the Deity is worshipped or whatever is posing as the deity.
Now I need to know how long a child troll takes to mature and whether female trolls bear enough physical difference form male trolls to be noticeable to the eye. With all the lumps and bumps do breast stand out, do trolls even need breast milk forfeeding infant trolls or is it straight to meat? |

Hi again. This time Ed tackles Dargoth’s query: “What’s the relationship like between Auril, Thrym, Kostchtchie (Demon Lord of Frost Giants) and Zzutam (The wanabe Elemental god from Prince of Lies) in the FR? Does Kostchtchie exist in the Forgotten realms? Or does Thyrm take his place in the Realms? (ie the same way Ghaunadaur has taken Jubliex place in the realms)?”
Ed replies:
Worship of all the deities you mention takes place in the Realms, because creatures from many planes and worlds have found their way to Toril by various means. However, veneration of Kostchtchie in Faerűn strengthens Thrym, master of frost giants (unless a Faerűnian mortal has the power to summon Kostchtchie, a Demon Lord, and does so, but in doing so has the carelessness or ignorance to bring Kostchtchie to the Realms uncontrolled - - whereupon Kostchtchie would gain power from worship, but also attract the attention and enmity of Thrym and other Faerűnian giant deities, who would move to harm, hamper, and banish him).
So between Thrym and Kostchtchie: hatred; they are rivals. (But very little contact.)
As for the relationships between Auril and Thrym: they have very little to do with each other, as Auril concerns herself foremost with frost, cold, snow, and winter, and their effects on humans (and to a lesser extent other races), and Thrym concerns himself with frost giants. They largely ignore each other; Auril doesn’t mess with frost giants and Thrym pays attention only to frost giants.
As for the relationship of either of them with Zzutam: none (at least, no more than any deity pays heed to ambitious mortals). PRINCE OF LIES uses unreliable narrators, remember, and therefore not everything stated or implied in its pages is true.
Frost giants in the Realms, like humans, are both intelligent and spiritual: everyone “believes” in the gods, remember, having to take nothing on faith except the “true nature” of specific deities, and therefore whom they should worship. Frost giants can worship any deity they hear of, but are likely to worship only relevant deities (a drow divinity of fire, for example, would be largely meaningless to them) - - and in the Realms, Thrym is by far the most relevant. Ergo . . .
So saith Ed. Underscoring once again that the Realms is polytheistic, not monotheistic; most intelligent Faerűnian beings don’t worship just one god, and outside of professional clergy and zealots, only a minority of them even have “patron deities” (primary gods they worship before or above all others).
love to all,
THO

How do elven light houses, in places that elves have ports, Evermeet most likely, differ then human light houses? Are there any magical light houses, I figured that there might be. How do the different light houses on the ports of the Sword Coast differ from those that could be found on the ports of the Sea of Fallen Stars. Maybe give us some details on the different light houses found in a few of those ports? Any details about any light houses that can be found among Spelljamming ports that are in Wildspace and on the planets.....
Theres a lighthouse detailed in F&P called the Darkhouse of Saerloon
There should be something for you in a few weeks concening lighthouses. I don't know that it will answer all of those questions, but will shed a little more light (gosh that was bad :). |

A general question, for Ed and anyone who wishes to answer: on the NWN board, a poster insisted that Faerun = roughly thirteenth-fourteenth century Earth. Rino and I said no, not really. Said poster replied with a quote--
quote:
From the 1987 Forgotten Realms: Cyclopedia of the Realms by Ed Greenwood, Jeff Grubb, and Karen S. Martin:
The Forgotten Realms are a world very similar to the Earth of the 13th and 14th centuries. Most of the area under discussion here has until recently been covered by wild forests and unsettled grasslands. Civilization is still a novelty in much of this world...
The people of these realms (including man, dwarf, elf, gnome, and halfling) are similar in mindset and advancement to the men of the 13th century. City-states are common, and nations on the increase as more of the wild lands are pushed back and gathered under a single king or government... Literacy and the quest for knowledge in[sic] on the rise, with the recent introduction of printed hand-bills in Waterdeep.

This is how Wikipedia describes Faerun........
Economically and technologically, Faerűn is comparable to Western Europe during the late middle ages. Gunpowder (here called smoke powder and different in its composition from historical gunpowder) is starting to make an appearance, but much of the armament is still dominated by swords, spears, bows, and the like. Most of the population consists of farmers, organized somewhat loosely in a semi-feudal system. There are also a number of notable cities, and trade between nations is common, comparable to the Renaissance era. Likewise, there are regions where more barbaric tribes and customs persist.
I think the level of advancement of civilization varies from region to region but overall, the above descritption sounds relatively accurate. But I would think this is best left answered by the creator himself, Mr. Greenwood. |

| Well, to be sure, the discussion in question was more about language. The poster said he feels Middle English is the closest to the language used in Faerun because he thinks the Realms is comparable to 13-14th century Earth; I argued that the level of technology overall brings it closer to the Renaissance, and therefore closer to Early Modern English. |

I'll go ahead and say it for everyone, Realms/Faerun IS NOT like nor is meant to appear like 13-14 century EARTH or ladder periods there of it.
Just because they have castle, robes and wars does not make it like that. |

Ah, but now we must consider the varying dialects of English spoken. I assume it would vary just as greatly as it does here in the U.S. and other English speaking countries. Also, level of education in the different regions of Faerun would have a major impact on spoken English as well. For instance, I would think the average person living in Silverymoon would be much more well spoken than someone living in some small farming village or even a place like Ten Towns. |

Ed has repeatedly said that Faerun is mostly not based on -- or rather similiar to -- Earth cultures, except for the parts that TSR added on. His most recent discussions on this are in the '06 replies.
-- Now, fellow scribes... let's try to keep the "Realms is comparable" discussions to another scroll and leave this one dedicated just to questions for Ed.

Yes, we have to stick to the important questions.
Like What is Ed Greenwood's name? What is Ed Greenwood's Quest? What is Ed Greenwood's favourite colour?
Just kidding. My true question is I am looking for interesting Planetouched characters that one could add to your realms especially good Tieflings, Evil Aasimar, and oddball other planetouched. Do you have any that you can sahre with me and the others on the board.
Thanks. |

So, I actually wrote an article about this a while back, detailing some alternative planetouched races of the Realms. It's sitting on a desk at Paizo, hoping to be published.

Hello, all. Gray Richardson recently asked: “Hi Ed, I was wondering if you could tell me about taxes in Suzail. Is there a sales tax on the kinds of items that adventurers might want to buy? Things like food, ale, lodging, both basic goods and the more expensive kind: special inks, spellbooks, finely crafted armor and magic items. What about on services like stabling and hiring a messenger or guide? How are such taxes collected? What are the rates? And do they vary based on the type of good or service?
What if an adventurer were to sell his own items, would he owe the crown a portion? How would he go about paying that? And what might be the penalty if he failed to give the crown its due?
Also, what about property taxes? Are there taxes on the sale of land? Any periodic taxes on owning land? How often might they be collected? Quarterly? Annually? Monthly? Are you required to go and pay your taxes or does a tax collector come round and collect?
Thanks in advance for your kind answers!
What other surprising taxes, tarrifs or fees might an adventurer in Suzail stumble across?”
Ed replies:
I’ve already written a two-part Realmslore web column for Wizards about specific taxes in Suzail, and therefore can’t repeat here what I wrote for it, but in general there are no sales taxes on either goods or services. The usual exceptions are magic (items and scrolls, not castings), and when purchasing ships or land (upon which the levy is five to ten percent of the purchase price, if Crown officials deem that price “market fair”).
Vendors usually don’t pay taxes on selling items, but do pay a tax in the form of a rental for stall space at a trade fair (just like renting an exhibit hall booth at GenCon), even if they’re just selling without actually setting up a stall.
There are also annual “head taxes” paid only by land or building owners or the heads of households, that Crown tax collectors “come around” to collect.
To this can be added also gate-entry fees for wagons or coaches, and riding beasts (so a mounted man pays, even if he gets off and leads his horse), but not lone travelers afoot. Ships are charged berthing fees. Crown employees, conveyances, and vessels are all exempt.
(There are few surprises for an adventurer in Suzail, because the Crown of Cormyr doesn’t have to be greedy for funds; it has the Crystal Grot and many sources of fee-based income.)
I’m afraid the amounts for most of these are part of my column, so you’ll have to wait for it.
Taxes vary widely in the Realms, but generally, in the Heartlands, in all communities depending (or profiting mainly) upon mercantile trade, taxes are light. In “unorganized” areas, such as wilderlands, and nominally ruled but unpatrolled lands, where the only settlements are individual steadings, hermitages, and monasteries, taxes are either non-existent or take the form of “provide food and shelter to the ruler or his representatives when they happen by, and request it.” Forceful rulers may extend this to “protect our stuff and give us mounts or fresh draft animals and mounts,” too, whereas fairer ones will pay for the beasts they take.
So saith Ed, who just once wants to do lounge naked on a bed of shiny new gold coins (or so he tells me).
love to all,
THO

It's not a magical item, it's a location. The Crystal Grot is a secret place full of sapphires. The Obarskyrs carefully mine and sell (in measured quantities over various markets, Faerűn-wide) these sapphires to keep themselves and the realm wealthy enough that they can tax lightly.

No offense to Ed, but I'd far rather see our lovely Lady Hooded One doing that. 
(Ed can have the money afterward, so he could support himself while pumping out more Realmslore.  )

Hello again, all.
The Crystal Grot is covered in VOLO'S GUIDE TO CORMYR, and regarding the taxes, Ed does mean new lore (web columns you haven't seen yet).
love to all,
THO
P.S. I'd say I'm most like Storm, of the Seven. Not much of a surprise there, eh? 
P.P.S. Wooly, here I am, lounging. (I'll describe myself in more detail privately, soon. Promise.) Ed's the buried-in-coins bearded lump yonder, but don't worry: he'll just watch us quietly. I hope. |
