| For that you will want to pick up the six book series called "The War of the Spider Queen." |

"People will believe anything they want to believe, or fear to believe."
Wizard's First Rule: Chapter 36, Page #397, US Hard Cover (revealed by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander).
Explanation by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. Peoples heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

Hi Hooded and Ed,
Yeah, snowed under. Probrably by work and the white stuff.
Ed, please help. What kind of rooms, furniture, artwork, toys ,etc would you put into a very powerful elven clan house? I find that my first attempt at drafting a floor plan doesn't quite do justice to what I've read in Realms literature.
Thanks. |

Hello, all.
I bring some sad news: Ed's father died suddenly yesterday. Ed is calmer than anyone I've yet seen under these circumstances (he and his father were very close), but his father was a longtime university professor, chorister who sang in cathedrals all over the world, and one of NORAD's top radar men during the Cold War, so the funeral (next weekend) is likely to be a big affair, and the usual family matters will keep Ed occupied at least for this coming week.
althen artren, being as it may be some time before Ed gets to your question, let me try to take a stab at it from some of Ed's DMing descriptions of elven home interiors for us Knights:
Many rooms will be "growing" things: smooth-sculpted, rounded hollows with living wooden walls upon which grow flowers and mosses, and which have been teased (with magic) out into furniture-like shapes, and "spurs" from which their elven owners hang chiming glass mobiles enchanted to give off light (room illumination).
Most artwork will be of elves or living forest scenes, and the most prized pieces will be magical three-dimensional images (like holograms, that can be stepped through without feeling anything or affecting them).
I'll leave it to Ed to say more, but I know that what little I've said is both correct and typical.
love to all,
THO |

Please pass on my condolences, may his memory live on. |

| My condolences Ed. Very sad news. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Heya,
I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of condolences. |

~amor vincit omnia~
~audaces fortuna iuvat~
As the spell ends, you look up into the sky to see the sun blazing overhead like noon in a desert. Then something else in the sky catches your attention. Turning your gaze, you see a tawny furred kitten bounding across the sky towards the new sun. Her eyes glint a mischevious green as she pounces on it as if it were nothing but a colossal ball of golden yarn. With quick strokes of her paws, it is batted across the sky, back and forth. Then with a wink the kitten and the sun disappear, leaving the citizens of Elversult gazing up with amazed expressions that quickly turn into chortles and mirth.
The Sunlord left Elversult the same day in humilitation, and was never heard from again. |

My deepest condolences and best wishes for Ed and Family.
I lost my father 9 years ago, I was 25. He was only 49. I would love to have had him for just a few more years.
I am glad Ed had the good fortune to have his father around as long as he did. I am sure he has years of cherished memories! |

My condolences too. My father passed away five years ago. It seems to be a curse in my family that the father never meets the children of the youngest child. I only have a memory of one grandmother, and she died when I was very, very young.
It isn't easy, but everyone around helps. It sounds like a large funeral and it seems the Candlekeep community is behind Ed, too. |

Thanks for the info, Hooded One.
My sympathies to Ed. I lost my own father at 14. All I can add to the
pile of well wished is that Ed was lucky to get to know his father as
an adult. Talk to each other as adult and have a relationship past father/
son. I never had that chance. I hope that the loss passes quickly.
Althen bows respectfully. |
