On page 131 of Sharn: City of Towers There is a piucture of two people hiding from the city guards. On the table in the room is a Forgotten Realms book. I'm not quite sure which on it is, but if you look at it, it's obvious that it is.

Do you guys think they new about that when they put it in? or is it just some sort of subliminal easter egg?

02-01-05, 08:57 PM LMAO! I never noticed that! Great little joke! Although, the cover is on upside-down.

It appears to be the Players Guide to Faerun. Nice easter egg, guys!

It's the Player's Guide to Faerun. Oddly enough, the book seems to be bound backwards, with the cover picture on the back.

And Reklin, it had been already noticed, but you're all excused -- search is done, and there were still people who hadn't seen that yet. :)

Actually if you look, the text on the cover is written in english from left to right, but the cover is still on the back of the book.

My guess is they are trying to say FR is backwards. That doesn't sound like what Imeant it to. Superiority type thing. Or just a gag.
