Great sages of Candlekeep,
I need your help to find as much information on Cormyrean noble families as possible (and I don't mean the general lore about being a noble in Cormyr but about particular families like Bleths, Cormaerils, Crownsilvers and so on). I am aware of the fact that there are some pages on this topic in the 2nd edition Cormyr supplement. Are there any other sources besides the one I mentioned?

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

That list shows us a little under two-thirds of them, from what I can recall. And yes, "Hunterown" IS a typo for Huntcrown.
Unfortunately, the nobles of Cormyr are NDA'd right now, so I can't ask Ed.
Sorry.
Love,
THO |

Wow! Now that's something! Thank you very much 
Oh, one more thing. Do you possibly know how do the most important families' coats of arms look like? |

Some of them are covered in the sources listed above. And Ed's mentioned one or two -- that weren't covered by NDA -- in his Candlekeep replies (check Kuje's compiled reply files).
The HERALDRY section of realmspeak.com used to provide the canon-references for Corymrian noble family heraldry also but the site is currently off-line.
I can send you the write-ups themselves from the website if you wish?

| Jerry Davis did a very extensive listing of the noble houses of Cormyr on the Realms-L mailing list. I copy-pasted it into a Word document (still needs editing, though). If you like, I can send it to you? |
