It’s real hard to focus on work when I’m at work with all this awesome, imminently accessible Cormyr-related stuff being released. ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Now go forth, into the world, and tell your brethren: the Realms are a'coming.

Very interesting stuff there, and I am glad to see that not all of the swords of state are some uber weapons of d00m.  There's stuff to use in every tier.  It also provides a good baseline for a DM who wants to use a similar set up for "ancestral weapons" for the various noble families as well.

Question for Brian: the story behind Symylazarr and the investing of Rayn as Lord Thunderword...is that the first time this story has seen print?

Regardless, this article is a really great read.

It's certainly the first time it's ever seen print officially. I may have hinted at or outright shared the story, or some version of it, elsewhere (on the REALMS-L, or Candlekeep, or even on the old boards), but I have been patiently waiting to share it as the canon tale since--believe it or not--May of 2004, when Ed first gave me the thumbs-up on this and a number of other matters, plots, and lore-fillings-in for Cormyr. A portion of that truckload of Realmslore I shipped his way made it into the Cormyr articles last month, and yet more lurks here, unshared, until I am permitted to inject it into the appropriate sourcebook, article, or novel.

Thank you for your praise. I had a great time working on this article (and the other two), and I'm tremendously happy that people are enjoying them.
