| Nemo_I_Am02-18-04, 04:13 AM | Okay so I haven't been paying much attention for a long time to all the "official happenings" of the Realms so I have a few questions... 1.) What is this about reshaping Faerun? 2.) What is going on with Evereska? (Or was going on?) 3.) What is going on with Lolth? (She's gone silent?) And if someone could kindly tell me what books all this stuff is happening in that'd be great. :) |
| Kezghan02-18-04, 05:37 AM | 1.) What is this about reshaping Faerun? The 3e map of Faerun is condensed, less space. A few kingdoms/areas are completely gone infact. 2.) What is going on with Evereska? (Or was going on?) 3.) What is going on with Lolth? (She's gone silent?) Can't really discuss those questions here as they pertain to Novels, which are illegal to talk about on these boards. Try Candlekeep.com. |
| Cunning Linguist02-18-04, 07:20 AM | 2.) What is going on with Evereska? (Or was going on?) 3.) What is going on with Lolth? (She's gone silent?) If we just look at the RPG part here. In FRCS one can read that Evereska was attacked by the Phaerimm, the elves where about to die, but Shades came to the rescue and saved there skinny hides. Then Lolth: we don't much know. She fell silent, and there is a mass uprising of other clerics in the underdark. The Underdark book tells us that Menzoberanzan is under seige, Ched Nasad is destroyed, and Mearimydra is taken over by Ogers and firegiants and some clerics who like undead. |
| WizO_BigSister02-18-04, 07:34 AM | *sigh* Once again let me tell you all that it IS ok to refer to novels, so long as you follow the rules which you will find in the CoC thread stuck to the top of the forum. To make it very easy for you all, here is the relevent section. Although novel-related threads are now inappropriate on this board, we want to clarify what is permissible. Posts are free to reference novels when it is appropriate to the topic being discussed. For example, if you are interested in The Origins of the Moonblades, of course you will be able to mention "Evermeet: Island of the Elves." Or, when discussing the nature of Cormyr as a campaign setting, of course you can refer to specifics within Sembia novels as material that provides further insight. The same goes for iconic characters who appear both in novels and supplements. Please make it clear in your title and post what the topic actually is, rather than using the name of the book or series. If your party wanted to visit one of the towns in Icewind Dale, ask for what information is available about the buildings, the way the inhabitants feel about strangers, etc. In other words, it is important to make clear the thread is discussing towns, not about a novel. Just to reiterate what has already been announced, it is not permissible to post literary critiques/reviews of a Forgotten Realms novel or start a thread started specifically to discuss a novel. Hopefully the Books department will be providing a list of author boards where you would be welcome to discuss those particular topics. |

| Nemo_I_Am02-19-04, 01:53 PM | Okay so where can I find this reshaped map? And what novels is all this happening in? (Evereska, Lolth, etc.) |
| Cunning Linguist02-19-04, 02:01 PM | Okay so where can I find this reshaped map? It came with FRCS 3.0 |
