Stigger 11-01-07, 09:39 AM	"Well met", and its variations as I found it as a commonly used theme throughout most of the Volo's guides, which act as my guides to casual sociology for the Realms.
meto30 11-01-07, 11:00 AM	Hello: Long live the king Hail Tchazzar Hail the Emperor Hail the Dragon Hail to you traveler Greetings Good day Lliira bless you Tymora bless you Fortunes be with you Beshaba spare you State your business, dwarf, or I shall have you shorter by a head ;) Bye: Good day to you Lathander be with you Farewell Shandakul bless you May Waukeen smile upon you Safe travels Safe roads Beshaba spare you Bless you Strength and Honor Be thankful for my sparing you, dwarf, and get out of my sight ;)
Blibbering_Humdinger 11-01-07, 11:12 AM	"Hi" and "bye" for me. The latter usually when I kill someone. :devil:
MarkusTay63 11-01-07, 11:38 AM	Hello: Word-up Goodbye: Peace Out My Realms is Ghetto, naw mean? ;)
Stigger 11-01-07, 05:03 PM	That must be interesting for the Bards...
Zanan 11-01-07, 05:34 PM	What hails have you used as the common way to greet an other? I've used: Aluvé Neat but ... this is actually Drow (pronounced: Ah-LOO-ve)* and means "I/we leave you". A correct "hello" in Drow would be "Vendui!", though I actually have to dig deep to check whether that one is canon too. *This and some other Greetings and Farewells appeared in the Old Grey Box' Cyclopedia of the Realms.
Karsus the Mad 11-01-07, 05:42 PM	Hello: *dominate monster* Goodbye: *power word: kill*
Old Sage 11-01-07, 07:52 PM	You'll find Ed's offered more than a few creative "hails" in his replies over at Candlekeep.
18DELTA 11-01-07, 08:19 PM	That must be interesting for the Bards... :rofl: What up Homie? Peace out G!!!:D

Much thanks. Aluvé. Great way of saying goodbye for drow if it means "I leave you", very aloof. What are the original elven greetings? What about Orcs? Grr! Goblins? Maglubiyet's favor! Gnomes and dwarves? :D Aye, Laddie!
Zanan 11-02-07, 12:04 PM	Some from the said source: "Well met" - most often heard / usually between strangers "Until swords part" - warriors' farewell throughout the Realms Olore' (Oh-LOR-ay) "Well met"/"Good day" - travellers in the Inner Sea lands "Alavairthae!" (Al-ah-VARE-thay) "May your skill prevail!" Farewell by the Red Wizards "Sweet water and light laughter until next" - The People (Elves) "Axe high, friend. I go!" - Dwarven farewell "Forges warm, friend" - Gnomish farewell "Braeunk vhos trolkh!" - "If you die while I am gone, do it quietly!" - Hobgoblin farewell, with an unsaid addendum: "... because I wouldn't want to miss the fun!"
MarkusTay63 11-02-07, 12:35 PM	That must be interesting for the Bards...I was actually thinking of creating a Netherese bard from that returned city... named 'Slim Shadey'. ;) And then, of course, we have the HWA - 'Halflings with Attitudes'. an Fifty Pence.... Arrrgh... I need to stop.... :rolleyes:
Alrunic Silverfyre 11-02-07, 02:05 PM	Bad, Markus! Bad! Just as long as we don't get the "Seven Soul Sisterz", I'm good.
Rinonalyrna Fathomlin 11-02-07, 02:12 PM	Stop it guys! :rofl:
Stigger 11-02-07, 05:38 PM	One does wonder what the dwarven percussion sections are like...

Ah this will spice up my game considerably! Braeunk vhos trolkh! Brilliant!Much thanks, Zanan. All my halfers in the place!~Say Yayo~To my stunties on the street.~Say Yeah!~ Watch out for my magic mizzle! :P
MarkusTay63 11-03-07, 08:43 PM	And let us not forget the most excellent Fantasy Greeting of all time - "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Of course, its only useable in certain circumstances. ;)
Lord Karsus 11-03-07, 10:33 PM	-Traditional Elven greetings: "Fair be our meeting, for our hearts are light and our swords sheathed, we hold peace in our hands and its light guides us." "Glad Homeagain." -Traditional Elven departures: "Sweet Water and Light Laughter." "May You See Evermeet."
MarkusTay63 11-03-07, 11:52 PM	-"May You See Evermeet."To a Drow, thats the same as saying "see you in Hell". :P
Suin Bahhar 11-04-07, 09:12 AM	See you in the 3th layer of hello. *snickers*
GothicDan 11-04-07, 09:16 AM	Evermeet is a good place to be.
Suin Bahhar 11-04-07, 09:44 AM	"Glad Homeagain." I like this one. Evermeet is beautiful.
captaincarot 11-04-07, 12:58 PM	One does wonder what the dwarven percussion sections are like... quite loud but they only take part in short songs. may (insert name of good aligned god here) watch over you is always a good parting. though for orcs i find a well aimed war axe to be the best form of greeting.
Lord Karsus 11-04-07, 05:44 PM	"Glad Homeagain." I like this one. -I agree. It's short, it's sweet, and it's poetic.
The_Shaman 11-04-07, 06:40 PM	I can't help but use a variant of "Blessings be on this house" every now and then in the games I play in ;)
