Anyone have the scoop?
Consider it confirmed.

-I don't know how much he's involved, but I do remember being told it was due out in March...Yeah, it's the middle of May now.
Having said that, you will see at least one future article from me covering an astral dominion (ie. a planar realm of one or more gods). :evillaugh
Have you asked Gray Richardson about this? He's the Sage of Candlekeep specialized in the planes of Realmspace. :P
I'm not sure who is writing a pantheon article, if any. My next article highlights Cormyr and should be up in the next couple weeks. Having said that, you will see at least one future article from me covering an astral dominion (ie. a planar realm of one or more gods). :evillaugh
Hoar's now Shar's "boy-toy", isn't he? *runs away sobbing*
I will have Vengeance for this... I'll, I'll... I'll poke his nose... Yeah, I got nothing.
Must... Plot...-Wonder where Tyr went...
I am assuming he was booted out of Realmsspace for reasons of incompetence to hold office....;)

-That explains the 'why', not the 'where'. It's not like he has a huge following anywhere else to "retreat to", so to speak.
in Norwegian, Tuesday's named after Tyr, Tirsdag (Literally "Tyr's Day"). Much like Thor got Thursday, Torsdag (Thor's Day). And as we've got a party of Norse/nazi worshippers in Norway, where they party leader's title is "Odin's Chief Prophet," he might be welcome there.
Det er bra.

Nei, de er ikke helt lure;p

You are very lucky to live in perhaps the best country on earth and I truly mean that.
Only partially live there; spend half my time in Scotland and half in Norway. Norway's full of whiney, half-racist bigots, so i can only stomach them for so-so long.
Scotland is great as well. Can you elaborate on the 'whiney, half-racist bigots' a bit?
They're also the most right-wing and capitalist party in Norway, with loads of followers from primarily white fishing and farming communities, and a surprising amount of workers too.
Norwegians continually whine about how bad things are, which is the whiney bit=)
A specific political party. They once had a garden dinner beside my mate's house, so i obviously had to shout "fascist pigs!" They want to fine asylum seekers for not teaching their children Norwegian when they're giving them money for keeping them at home during nursery, because we don't have enough nurseries. This sorta makes it bloody difficult for the kid to learn Norwegian.

Hmm...do you think the Islamic presence in Norway/Europe/Scotland is a real issue?
Why do you spend so much time in Scotland anyway?
i study in Glasgow, because i wanted a new setting. Also, being half-Scots means the language barrier was fairly easy to overcome. Whereas it's worse when it comes to Protestanism-Catholicism secularism (Almost got the daylights beaten outta me by Protestants for being a Catholic the other day, near Catholic turf, non-the-less!), it's generally far more tolerant. When terrorists attacked Glasgow Airport a year ago, with me flying there the next day, they were already making jokes about it.
islamic presence doesn't bother me; one of my best friend's BF's a Muslim, two of my drinking mates are Muslims. And where there did i mention islam in my post? Not all asylum seekers are Muslims. Tamiles, which i know a few of, are Catholics. A fair few Vietnamese folk i knew were Catholic too. A lot of Africans are Christians.

I think you take Norway for granted; you should see the rest of the world before doing that.;)
Also, Norway's not in the EU, so it's far more expensive being a Norwegian student abroad in Europe. Obviously, Scotland's got its share of shortcomings too; neds, hooliganism, secteranism etc. Not quite sure which country i prefer.
Not taking Norway for granted; it's a great country. But once i got to Scotland i noticed several differences. Scottish education is far superior for the motivated pupils; they can leave for uni at 16/17, Norwegians at 18/19. A good 17 year old Scot has one year more education-wise on the Norwegian when they finish (They learn uni stuff at high school), and the Norwegian's 2 years older, ergo they're possibly three years ahead. Most Scots finish at 17/18 though.

Neds. lol.
Yes, chavs are annoying.
I meant outside of Europe. Come to some slummy third world country and you won't ever want to leave. Believe me.
I realise that the EU issue is a very heated issue in Norway, perhaps the biggest one in recent times.
But the fact is that the EEA is open to Norwegians irrespective of the EU membership issue.
How young are you?
Just comparing two western countries' pros and cons, but Norway's got one thing going for it though. it's a less prude country than Scotland.
Chavs aren't just annoying, they're bloody dangerous up here. Never know if they're about to pull a knife on you. Someone just got stabbed to death outside my uni library.
This thread sucks. Where the hell's all the buttkissing and praise which is my rightful due?
That depends... *puts on glasses, takes out notebook* Your name sir?

Until I see it on paper you get nothing from me...;)
Im still waiting for them to confirm Greenknight as a demi-god
Now now, there's an epic destiny that will let any (I think *any*) epic level character be a "demigod."
GK can take that ED when the time comes. Until then, he'll just have to WAIT his turn like everyone else!Now now, there's an epic destiny that will let any (I think *any*) epic level character be a "demigod."
-Remember. There can only be one, though. ;)
-Remember. There can only be one, though. ;)
That probably means there's a queue.
GK has to wait on line--once the current epic level "demigod" actually reaches apotheosis, THEN GK can take that ED.It all works out!
yeah, but the code of Karsus "is" still law
-Of course, that's all rhetoric for fun and all. :raincloud
*throws spoiled herring at LK*
Feel the love... oh, and respect too.
*pokes LK in the eye*
:P
:D
But hey, if it makes you feel better, then do what I do. Put on some Kenny Loggins and shake things up.
-Remember. There can only be one, though. ;)
Technically, I think it's "There should have been only one."*
-You get no respect? How do you think I feel? Everything I do for this place, and in general, concerning the Realms, and...nothing.
I have an extra fish taco that you can have.
*as in, try to ignore all the Highlander sequels. Just painful, really.
*points and laughs at LK*

-See? This is the kind of stuff I am talking about.
Hey, at least you got the Aspects of Karsus, Avatars of Karsus, Hands of Karsus, Chambermaids of Karsus, Chamberpots of Karsus, Outhouses of Karsus, and so on. That's way better then a lousy severed head, which most of the time is mine.
-I only have Hands of Karsus. I had another aspect, but he was banned for no particular reason, and I'm 1/3 less of my self.
-I also had a bunch of clones back in the day, but me and KtM killed most of them. Thankfully.
-That said, I don't have any of those other things.

This thread sucks. Where the hell's all the buttkissing and praise which is my rightful due?
You're not Mystra or any other legitimate incarnation of Lady Magic, why would I provide praise? I'd put you forward as a demi-power but that makes you a pawn in my more recent business. Pawns I put in positions of divine power don't last 10 years. I could use one but I'm not certain you're interested.
LK, should I be negotiating with your Konsort as well in the future?

I don't think he'd appreciate that.;)

Which is exactly why he should start negotiating.
Yeah, baby!!!
I don't think he'd appreciate that.
*Shrug*
Granting the rank of consort grants you influence in his affairs, unless Konsort is significantly different, same rule applies. Better to get specific rules on treaty negotiation early. Mystra's approaching leave of absence will complicate life enough.
I'm not going to complicate my own life by suggesting negotiations of any matter not directly related to my service to Mystra.

SLAP!!
Dookie: "WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!"
SLAP!!
Bane: "Stop! Stop!"
Dookie winds up... : "Hmmm...?"
Bane: (sigh) "Bejebuz."
Dookie: "BEJEBUZ WHAT?!!"
Bane: "Bejebuz is my...daddy." (lowers gaze subserviently)
Dookie: "That's right, foo! Now go get me a 40oz of dark malt liquor and a taco."

-How is ol' Velsharoon doing?
LK, should I be negotiating with your Konsort as well in the future?
-If I am otherwise incapacitated, yes. She is the only one I'd trust. Maybe Brennon, but he's not around really, anymore.
I don't think he'd appreciate that.;)
-Why's that?
-How is ol' Velsharoon doing?
He has graciously donated much of himself to serve as part of the safeguards I'm using to keep certain portals closed through the Mystra's apparent (anyone actually thinks I'll permit the real variant?) death. One moment,
******
*Divine shriek*
Velshy, Velshy, Velshy, I keep telling you that volunteering to serve as my eyes and ears in Baator is highly appreciated but not necessary. Now quit singing, this enchantment is delicate in the beginning and requires your full attention.

He's such an enthusastic assistant. It's just a matter of making certain that he takes things at the proper pace instead of trying to rush ahead.
-If I am otherwise incapacitated, yes. She is the only one I'd trust. Maybe Brennon, but he's not around really, anymore.
Thanks for the info.
JudgeDookie, interesting form of diplomacy. I'll be shipping Cyric to you in a couple weeks.
He's such an enthusastic assistant. It's just a matter of making certain that he takes things at the proper pace instead of trying to rush ahead.
-Yeah, that was always his problem. He was always planning, planning, planning, scheming, scheming, scheming, and could never wait things out. That often bit him in the butt.
World's just getting weird.
-You're telling me...
And not a word on the status of Torm; I was hoping one of the official folk would jump in and say yes...it's true....
-Did you not read the third post, in which a designer said, "Consider it confirmed"?
;)

-Why's that?
I'm your Konsort. I didn't think you wanted to "lend" me to other mages.;)
I'm your Konsort. I didn't think you wanted to "lend" me to other mages.;)
-Masked One isn't a mage, but, trust me, there's no way in the Nine Hells I'd "lend you out" to others. If I was to otherwise be incapacitated, or something to the effect, you'd have to handle my affairs. You'd have to command the Hands of Karsus, kill any Karsus Clones, look for the 'legendary' Third Aspect, and so on and so forth. That's what that means.

It's an honor.
To echo LK, I'm not currently seeking a consort and would not be interviewing the Konsort of LK if I were. However, in the interests of not destroying Toril through open conflict between us, some of my affairs require negotiation with LK before I progress. It's good to know who is empowered to negotiate in his name and under what circumstances.
Have you asked Gray Richardson about this? He's the Sage of Candlekeep specialized in the planes of Realmspace. :P
It's an honor.
seriously, no more flirting on these boards

If I was a girl I'd date Lord Karsus.

maybe a little
:heeheeAs it so happens I had a fantastic two hour conversation with Gray just last night about the 4E Realms cosmology.
:evillaugh Show
I hope you got something interesting 
Topic was pretty much done with Brian's statement really... ;)
-Doesn't mean debate/discussion cannot continue. Discussion and debate meaningful to the topic, anyway.
Said the guy that was gonna lend out Rino to someone... :P ;)
-By lend, you mean "tend to my affairs".
-I like Torm. None of the people in my normal group do, though. That was a case of a bad DM.
-Once, when I was younger, I saw a guy walking in a park, and he was wearing a blue hat that, in gold lettering, said 'TORM' on it. Not the same Torm, I don't think, but...
-I kinda figured. Well, back to Tyr and Torm.

-Torm is "home grown", so to speak.
Right.
DM: "Well I'm playing in the Realms I don't know if you are familiar with it...."
Me:*smiles* Hell yeah *shows tattoo* Torm all the way
DM: Is That for real?!?
Some player: *grabs his head almost foaming from his mouth* Oh MY ****ing God!!! THAT'S IS AWESOME!!!!
Me:
....It's not THAT serious....That reminds me of last saturday when I finally played DnD again after a year and the DM I was talking to was like:

Me:*smiles* Hell yeah *shows tattoo* Torm all the way

Some player: *grabs his head almost foaming from his mouth* Oh MY ****ing God!!! THAT'S IS AWESOME!!!!
Me:
-You should've been like, "I'm not too familiar with the setting", and then slowly allow your tattoo to be shown. Where was it again? On your bicep?

Yeah, and I was wearing a "wife-beater" so it was showing
