Can some one who is pretty familiar with Impiltur give a single paragragh or more of info on the fabled land of Impultur. I might use this info as a intro to my campaign there and I lack any complete sources. Help please? Anything you got will help a lot.

You should check out George's article on Impiltur in Dragon #346  |

Wandering_mage, if you're looking for just a paragraph or so about Impiltur without actually looking at available published sources, I would suggest you perform a search here at Candlekeep. Krash has discussed the basics regarding Impiltur more than once, so if you're looking for a brief description, those posts should help.

| Asgetrion I'll check that Dragon out. I glanced at the referenced article before but wasn't "in to" Impiltur at the time. |

Will do Sage. You have a good way with directing people. Next time my adventurers get stuck during a quest I'll have them visit you for knowledge.   Thanks again friend! |

Additionally, if you're in the mood for published lore concentrating on Impiltur, the best information can be found by weaving together scattered references from the following products:-
Dreams of Red Wizards
The Bloodstone Lands
Sea of Fallen Stars
Champions of Ruin and Champions of Valor -- Eric told us that he sees the Impiltur sections in both as a convenient mini-setting for Impiltur campaigns
Dragon #277 - "Soargar's Legacy" -- George's detailing, with a little Impilturan lore, of these important weapons for the realm
Dragon #346 - the aforementioned article
Unapproachable East (last chapter)
FRCS
-- And finally, my-soon-to-be-completed (like everything else I'm offering up to Candlekeep) compilation of ALL of Krash's "Impiltur" posts made both here at Candlekeep and over at WotC through the years.

| If you're only looking for a paragraph, is the blurb in the FRCS not to your liking or not detailed enough? |

Dude, Sage please announce when you finish with that compilation. Candlekeep is truly a place to find lore! |

Will do.
It's on my "To-Do-List"... though, as Big Al or Wooly will likely tell you... that listing grows considerably. It now stands at nine items for Candlekeep.

| A Sage of Candlekeep never gets a moment to himself. He constantly endeavors to provide things such as Impilturan lore to lost scribes, give guidance to squabbling researchers of lore, and keep his spellbooks seperated from his lore books so that no "mistakes" happen around the tower. |

Well the basics are pretty much covered in my article. I'm not sure there's much more to say, really. If you have any specific areas of focus re Impiltur (religion, geography, magic, history etc.) that you want clarification on, please ask and I'll see what I can come up with.

I did some serious research on Impiltur on the Candlekeep boards and wow. George you have inspired people and built something fantastic. I find it crazy that Faerun has so much variety. Its a dream world! I am excited to start adventuring in the lands of Impiltur and I will ask for help from time to time. I wouldn't mind a few bits of lore on how you would like Impiltur to be "better represented" per your original concept. Thanks for your reply. |

And that ought to be worth a read, I look forward to seeing this. |

I too would be most interested in that compilation.
My characters are currently in Impiltur (Thanks to George's article ^_^) and I'd love to see more information on the place. |

Help with a description of Impiltur.
