Is Brace Skatterhawk listed among those 'Azoun's Bastards'?
BTW Never mind. Could someone point me to this article, please? |

I haven't checked my archive folder of the "Realmslore" column in a while, but yes, I think that was the last one.
Figures... The motto of all of the various publishers of the Realms since it first saw print seems to be "don't finish any stories except by omission or cancellation." It rather makes me wonder how "Death of the Dragon" made it to press, to return to topic...  [/rant]
(I can't believe how tame my rants are these days... I hope it's more contentment with my own Realms projects than apathy over the current published setting... it's certainly some combination of the two.) |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

I do know that Ed wrote more columns and handed them in, so there ARE unpublished columns out there. There are even a few unpublished Border Kingdoms columns, though most of the later alphabetical entries for that region are "unfinished" or even "unwritten." In recent years, the publisher seems to have shifted from "let's finish things or give them proper windups to avoid the PR damage" to "new boss/team/philosophy/approach, so drop, cut, and move on with the less said the better." I suspect it's budgetary, and exascerbated by personnel losses/changes.
I do know that Ed has offered to finish the BK columns for free, so long as Wizards promises to put them up on the website.
I don't know if any agreement at all has been reached, on that offer.
However, Mehangel, the best way to "see" Azoun IV as a person is to read Ed's novels, and to ask Ed questions in his thread here at the Keep.
love,
THO |

As an eternal Border Kingdoms fan, I'd love to read them!

Just out of curiosity milday, how long has it been since Ed made this offer? |

| Consider this a second (I'll take The Sage as the first) request to both Ed and Wizards for Ed to finish these articles and Wizards to post them. Of course, as the series in question involves no game mechanics, and is therefore suitable for use with any game system, I suspect the request to fall on deaf ears. |

I am so sorry, I have been so busy. I still have the notes but because of D&D 4th and roleplaying group disbanding, etc I have had little time or reason to finish the work. Sorry about it.

Not that I know of, and I've not seen anything like this made available for storage on the main site. As I said back in '08, Mehangel last visited Candlekeep around October '07. He hasn't been back since. I suppose you could try contacting him via his email, or through MSN [see his profile for the relevant addresses].
