I know its cheesy, but I am copy/pasting the Rules from Wooly's scroll at the Keep. I know it's lazy, but I am editing out some parts that don't pertain to these forums.
The rules:
1. All questions must come from a novel, sourcebook, official (non-subscription) TSR/WotC web release, or Dragon magazine. Lore originating solely from computer games (including their manuals), comic books, mailing lists (like Realms-L), forums (including this one), apocryphal sources such as the Double Diamond Triangle Saga, or any other unofficial TSR/WotC source are disallowed. Polyhedron and Dungeon magazines are similarly off-limits; while they did contain official Realms material, Dragon had a lot more such material and a wider reader base. Dragon was also where the Realms first saw print, so it's only fitting to include it.
It's only fair if we use non-obscure material that everyone has a reasonable chance of easily obtaining.
2. It is requested that any member answering a question refrain from doing so again for five days. There are plenty of people who know a lot, but others need to have a chance.
3. If no one has correctly answered a question within 24 hours of its posting, the posting member needs to provide a hint, and the hint must be informative enough to give others a chance to find the information. For example (drawing from the previous Trivia Challenge), if the question was "Who was Alisker Lathundown of Nuel?", saying "He's dead!" is not a sufficient hint. Saying "Alisker was one of seven, and the seven aren't as well known as the lady mage they served. He's definitely dead, but may or may not be still around." is enough information to aim people in the right direction. (He's one of the skulls that served Tashara of the Seven Skulls; he's named in the "Elminster's Notebook" article of the same name in Dragon 206.)
4. It's recommended, but not necessary, that when the correct answer is given, a reference be provided. That way, others can read up on it, if they wish.
5. The member who correctly answers a question is then allowed to post a question of their own. It's a good idea to have a question ready, instead of saying "I'll come back with one in several hours" (I myself am guilty of the latter!
).6. At this time, questions which cover the entirety of 1e, 2e, 3e and 4e FORGOTTEN REALMS are allowed as part of this Trivia Challenge. However, 4e questions based solely on information from the DDI are discouraged, since a large number of members have not subscribed to that service, and the information is thus not available for them.
7. Remember, the purpose of this is simply to have some fun and share lore. There's no need to lord superior knowledge of Realmslore over each other; we're all here because we love the setting.
8. If your Answer is correct, then please PM me the answer to the Question you will ask.
Example Question: Where is the Grandfather Tree located?
Example Answer: The High Forest Forgotten Realms Campaign Supplement pg 166.
The First Question is: Who was the first recipient of the Scepter of Mystra?
Is it Kloroth?
Almost got it.
He had it, but I am looking for the First recipient of it.
Its funny how Kloroth lost it.
A hint: Its in a 2E supplement, written by Ed...
Azuth?
Probably, but not first...
A minor hedge-wizard by the name of Naerlus "Flamespell" Anarthandyer was the first recipient of the Scepter. Prayers from the faithful Pg 77
Fun idea Delta. this could get very interesting.
Question #2: What is the origin of Alassra Shentrantra Silverhand's chosen name: the Simbul?
Right! off into the attic/loft i go - flashlight in hand...
The Simbul means 'watchful-warrior wizard' in an ancient Aglarondan dialect.
Heroes Lorebook pg 115
Question #3: Who is Dryleh Bluerslol?
A minor hedge-wizard by the name of Naerlus "Flamespell" Anarthandyer was the first recipient of the Scepter. Prayers from the faithful Pg 77
Fun idea Delta. this could get very interesting.
Question #2: What is the origin of Alassra Shentrantra Silverhand's chosen name: the Simbul?
Correct you are!
I was afraid this thread wouldn't get any activity...
The Simbul means 'watchful-warrior wizard' in an ancient Aglarondan dialect.
Heroes Lorebook pg 115
Question #3: Who is Dryleh Bluerslol?
Youre right! I would of also acceppted: The Simbul was the name of an ancient Yuir Goddess of Time.
As for your question, Its killing me! I know Ive heard the name before, but I can not for the life of me place it! Im gonna go pour over some Realmslore, I'll be back!
Let others try and answer the question.
Just remember rule #2 Silver, you cant answer a question untill 5 days have elasped.
Let others try and answer the question.
OK, maybe Ill have it figured out by then!
I am thinking about making it 3 days. Just depends on how this goes.
and RIP Edward Woodward
i'm gonna watch the wicker man
I can give a hint if needed...
Yes please do!
...back into the attic (on second thoughts i'm going to get ALL my FRCS stuff out the attic/loft!)
Question #4: Name a 10th lvl spell found in Mythanthar's* Folio.
* also spelled Mythanthor in some sources.
WHO?? LMFAO I have now returned from the loft - you should have seen my wife's face when I placed everything on the lounge floor and told her why :D
Question #3: Who is Dryleh Bluerslol?
Dryleh is a male LG deep Imaskari sorcerer/rogue, Warden of the Approaches and in charge of scouts and spies sent out into the world.

Its been a day, you might(up to you) want to provide a hint.
An answer, but no question!
DISQUALIFIED!!!!! 
Wanted to make sure it was correct....
OK, I'll let you off! :D and well done if you are correct.
You should make him squirm...
Well.....i'm stumped myself! No Fair, this is a rubbish Thread idea
I believe you are right. The poster who asked the question my want you to provide your sources for your answer.
Pasha Regis(Halflings Gem) Pasha Entreri(Legacy) Pasha Basdoni(The Silent Blade) Pasha Entreri(The Silent Blade) Pasha Quentin Boudreau(The Silent Blade) Does this work? BTW Entreri is listed twice because he took it from Regis first then from Basadoni. Second
I dont think thats right. Pasha is like a high rank or title in Calimshan. I dont think any of the characters you mentioned were actually ever given the status of Pasha, but i could be wrong. Ive only read 2 maybe 3 of them books, and that was some time ago. The sourcebook Calimport lists some Pashas in it (it can be downloaded here.) But we havnt heard back from Knighthawk, so whats the ruling Delta? Do we go ahead with DrizztsMC question?
I guess I will pm Knight to see what is up.
I am thinking I need the posters that are asking the question to pm me the answer to it so we don't have this issue again.
I guess I will pm Knight to see what is up.
Excellent Idea!
And as far as DMC's question goes i am totaly stumped. I dont even know who Caledaan Caladorien is!
If it's novel specific I'm stumped!! *hobbles off with stumpy legs*

I thought she was the Royal Mage to Cormyr.
Oh, he means Caladnei...
Oh, he means Caladnei...
or maybe Caladorn Cassalanter?
I have heard of Caladnei, but im still clueless what the name of the rogue in her original adventuring party is, and I havnt a clue where to look for such information, Ive already looked thru the 3e and 3.5 campaighn books to no avail. Give us a clue manchild of Drizzt!
And your question is novel specific? hmmmmmm?
Nope I still aint got a clue. Gonna have to go flippin through some novels now. Can we get another hint? is it part of the Harpers series?
If you can please pm me your answer.
The orginal thief was named Ferret. All members of the Fellowship of the Dreaming Dragon.
I suppose I must now field a question per this thread's guidelines? Ok then.
What was the name of the lich who confronted and ultimatley slew the human Lashan (self-styled ruler of all the Dales)?
I know where I can get all of the Harper books from a 1/2 price books store...
Question: Who is Lockwood Mooney, what does he do, and what is his profession?
Hint please
here's a slightly easier one: Who is Drizzt Do'Urden?
I'll be back!
Lookwood Mooney is the son of Jack Mooney, and with his brother and sister he helps runs his father's traveling circus, Moony & Sons. Hes a 4th level Ranger/5th level Enchanter. While the circus winters in Ravens Bluff he goes off adventuring until the spring, when he joins the circus once again. -Inside Ravens Bluff, the Living City pg 4
Question: This is a 2e one. How does one go about making a Magic Golem (golem made of magic energy)?
Good question...
The method for making Magic Golems was discovered (accidently) by the Zhents.
Hint #2: It was in a boxed set...
Not even a guess?
Hint #2: It was in a boxed set...
ok...a 2e box set!!! Thanx - gimme 24 hours (yeah, right LOL)
A magic golem appears as a humanoid creature composed of iridescentyellow energy.pure magic. It is the unholy union of a human being and an area of wild magic. After the Time of Troubles, Zhentarim wizards beganto catalog all of the areas of wild magic in an effort to study these areas more closely. During an expedition to a remote wild magic area in the Hordelands, an unfortunate sequence of spells cast by one Zhentarim wizard turned another into a being of pure magic. A combination of the mage and untamed magical forces.
Ruins of Zhentil Keep pg 6 Monster Card?
Next Question: How much is a Bow & Arrow playset?
glad you like it delta. I've been pouring over my sourcebooks since the weekend....it's true, i have no life :D
...and no, it's not a trick question.

Hint Please LK...
You'd probably have to go to the moon and back to find this somewhat obscure novel today. Glancing at it's cover, it doesn't look like a Forgotten Realms book, but you'll see that the subject matter does indeed take place on Abeir-Toril (mostly).
Naughty Karsus, NAUGHTY!
I dunno, that was pretty damned obscure and I only got it because I coincidentally happen to have that novel. (Modesto, CA isn't quite the moon, but yeah, I found that one at a used book store there and got it because it was written by EC.)
There's a god detailed primarily for FR who has a holy day on 12 Ches. Who is it? (Knowing my luck, someone else also has one then and I've forgotten about it. :P)

Loviatar.
Who's the head of the temple of Lloth in Bezantur? (Which is the one of two known temples of the Spider Queen on surface.)
ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC ORC
Sorry, I got my smilies back! Please resume Realms Trivia!
Great reply Stiggs!
Guys that's what SotFR is for. :P See my sig. :P
I'll give you a hint. Who's asking this question?
Im gonna take a guess and go with Chronus, thats the most obscure god i can think of.
Vartan is not goofy.
And not especially. Only very indirectly would it have anything to do with him. I think I went for something entirely too obscure here. :P Here's another hint, combine it with the other two and you should have it: While the god in question is detailed for FR, with all of his allies and enemies except his generic pantheon being FR deites, and part of his portfolio is exclusive to the Realms, the source is not specifically FR.
or
Rilifane
Still looks goofy Nai.:-p
Zinzerena?
Should I just tell you all and put you out of my misery?
Are you sure that your source says that the holy day for this mysterious deity is 12 Ches?
I don't think anyone is going to get it, so I'll just post it. It's Mythrien Sarath, elven demigod of protection, abjurative magic and Mythals. Formerly a lesser power who helped the Elves with the creation of Mythals around certain cities(Myth Drannor is specifically mentioned as *not* being among them), but used up too much of his own power in he process. He attempted to forge an artifact at an unnamed place on Faerun, a ring, but was attacked by Malar, which caused the ring to become lost, and Malar imprisoned Mythrien's lone avatar below the battle site. He's allied with the Seldarine and Mystra, and his enemies are the drow and orc panthoens, Malar, Talos and Mask. His remaining specialty priests and crusaders search for the ring, and in addition to their monthly holy days, the major one is The Forging and The Loss, on 12 Ches. He's detailed in Dragon 251, in yet another article detailing minor members of the Seldarine that nobody remembers(Even more so than usual for 2e Dragon members of the Seldarine, since he's FR-specific rather than generic. He's also the only 2e Dragon member of the Seldarine I actually like).

The minor "expansion" Seldarine deities detailed in Dragon #236 and #251 aren't considered canon, though. Just FYI.
So I guess we go with Zireael's Question now, since technicaly Loviatar was correct as well.
Ok, folks I got this idea from Candlekeep. I am starting this thread to try and generate some activity on THIS forum. I will moderate this thread, so I don't mind off topic banter, but let's try and stay on topic...ok?
I know its cheesy, but I am copy/pasting the Rules from Wooly's scroll at the Keep. I know it's lazy, but I am editing out some parts that don't pertain to these forums.
The rules:

Lets re-read the Rules.;)
Lets re-read the Rules.;)
So... the funny thing... not everything in Dragon is technically canon. Much of it is, some of it is not, and it's often hard to tell.
If it's written by Greenwood, then it is canon. If it's written by another author, it might be. But perhaps not.
Just, you know... to throw a fun little wrench in the works, heh!
I will add a rule about PMing me the answer.

This is about Trivia not Canon my dear.;)
I will add a rule about PMing me the answer.
(...erk... did he just call me 'my dear'?...
)*ahem*
Okay, in that case you should modify the first rule. By eliminating "apocryphal" and non-official sources, it sounds like you're going for canon.
Just sayin', shmoopie-poopiekins.
Of course it's about canon silly!:-p
The Candlekeep Trivia Challenge has some real stumpers in it.
As of the Year of the Banner, what item had a reward of 400,000 gp and the lifelong exclusive use of the palatial Summersuns estate in upland Sembia attached to it, and who was it offered by?
I meant no disrepect.
Of course it's about canon silly!:-p
The Candlekeep Trivia Challenge has some real stumpers in it.
I know, and I wasn't really irked... hence the reindeer smiley.
And I don't really mind about canon or if it's more open, I just thought it'd be good to clarify. Some people are really rigid about canon and other's don't mind as much.
And definitely... some of those at Candlekeep are insanely hard.
I'm guessing that the thread is dead Jim...
Going to answer this since nobody else seems to be trying. :P
Well, since I know that answer was correct as of 2e, I'll toss one into the ring to see if anyone gets it...As of the Year of the Banner, what item had a reward of 400,000 gp and the lifelong exclusive use of the palatial Summersuns estate in upland Sembia attached to it, and who was it offered by?
The Sash of Sune, by Maeron Shulduth of the House of Firehair in Daerlun; in Prayers from the Faithful.
Super-easy one. Sixth Sense is a specific spell. To what, and what level is it?
Yes, it's in an inarguably canon source. :P
I can't get past the damned recaptcha crap to PM you, Delta. This is undoubtedly part of your evil plots for world domination.
So...what's the next question?
So...what's the next question?
Super-easy one. Sixth Sense is a specific spell. To what, and what level is it?
i just re-checked this thread!!! DOH!
Super-easy one. Sixth Sense is a specific spell. To what, and what level is it?
Yes, I finally got one!
It's a Corellite Spell, 1st level. Demihuman Deities pg 103.
Next Question:
What is bela?
It is, indeed, a 1st-level priest spell specific to the priesthood of Corellon Larethian. It basically warns the caster of danger to help them react in time and grants them a +3 bonus to surprise checks and ability checks made to immediately react to a dangerous situation.Super-easy one. Sixth Sense is a specific spell. To what, and what level is it?
Yes, I finally got one!
It's a Corellite Spell, 1st level. Demihuman Deities pg 103.
Next Question:
What is bela?
I know this one! Isn't bela a type of paper money, mostly used in Kara-Tur? It's considered worthless in the West, sometimes insulting. 2E Forgotten Realms Adventures, p129.
Next question: if you're an elf visiting the Elfsong Tavern for the first time, and you hear a ghostly voice sing a sad song that moves you to tears, how will the tavernkeeper respond?
She'll throw you out for being such a wuss! You're suppossed to be a hard-drinking, hard-hitting womanizing (or manizing) adventurer!! SHEESH!!
Elves hearing the song for the first time are often stunned. By tradition, they are silently served a free tallglass of elverquisst by the bartender.
(A first-timer of any race and either sex who breaks down into tears upon hearing the song is usually embraced and comforted by the nearest regular patron.)
Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast pg 17 (product number 9460)
Next question: Where will one find Savion with the eleven fingers?
At first I thought she was asking about the Elfsong Tavern from Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
Good stuff going on here!
HINT: To boldly go where no adventurer has gone before.....or is that to cryptic?
That's just a guess based on the hints. I have no sourcebook. But it fits.
Gomez
it's a good guess....
you are on the right lines. Rock of Bral was NOT a FRCS official sourcebook, however....
does that mean i have to think of ANOTHER question? SHEESH! LOL
Does that mean I won? That would be a first.
Or does anyone actually have the reference?
Gomez
so...nope..not Rock of Bral. ;)
HINT: 9312
I'll be back!
BRING IT ON!!!!!! LOL
He seems to have mended his ways though, so i guess i'll let him live.
Savion can be found aboard an unpdated Scorpion ship called the Gauntlet, flying around the Tears of Selune taking out space slavers. Realmspace pg 60
Next question: This one is a visual challange! I just changed my avatar. What symbol is it?
Eilistraee's old holy symbol from 2e is my first thought, though I have no idea where the hell the reference is from.
Damn! Youre good! I thought for sure it would take awhile for someone to figure that out, being as most people are more familiar with the newer 3e one. The reference would be Demihuman Deities.
So its your turn, ask a question.
Ah ha! I finally found the little bugger, now at last i can have my revenge!!!
He seems to have mended his ways though, so i guess i'll let him live.
Savion can be found aboard an unpdated Scorpion ship called the Gauntlet, flying around the Tears of Selune taking out space slavers. Realmspace pg 60
WELL DONE!!
Fairly easy one. What organization does Torynnar Rhaevaern belong to, and what's special about him in it?
T_S: Yeah I remembered her symbol involving a bastard sword in front of a full moon so my first thought was 'Eilistraee'. I don't remember DD having a drawing of her symbol, then again, I've been working off a PDF of it since my physical copy is still packed, and I know there's differences between the PDF and the real book(Like the PDF being missing all the art except for the plates showing the priests)
-Question: What two groups were the primary 'actors' in the Battle of Big Hat Mountain?
www.atlas.ca.gov/quads/41119d8_BIG_HAT%2...
I'm way out - aren't I?
-Alright, a clue: One of the two groups is known for being a violent, militaristic culture.
I would know if you would pm me the answer like everybody eles does.
;)
-Both of the above guesses are incorrect.
-Another clue: Of the one warrior culture that straddles two continents, one can say that they are, ahem, 'Horselords'.
-Another clue: Of the one warrior culture that straddles two continents, one can say that they are, ahem, 'Horselords'.
Ah ok I think I know who you mean there, but I'm not sure about the other side. I'm going to go flip through some books and see if the answer presents itself.
-Delta, if I send you the answer, you'd be disqualified. You should be able to play, too.
-Both of the above guesses are incorrect.
-Another clue: Of the one warrior culture that straddles two continents, one can say that they are, ahem, 'Horselords'.
Horeslords, eh? So I reckon it's the Rohirrim and the Uruk-hai! So the source is Riders of Rohan.
Am I right?
ONLY KIDDING!!!
Does anybody know? Let's get this one nailed before Chrimbo.
I agree with Karsus, Delta should be able to play.
Uh... the Tuigan and Azoun IV's army?
I think the first part is right, but they didnt fight Azoun's Army until book 3 IIRC, Im going to have to reread that novel again damnit! I was hoping there would be something in the Horde box set, but nope.
-I'll give one more day, but if no one gets it, I'll just move on to another question.
If its in that novel i'll get it, eventually! But i havnt come across a refference to Big hat Mountain yet! Its probably near the end of the book, ill start reading from there!

-That'll be my last clue, then. It's not that far into the book. ;)
"Goyuk Khan lost most his teeth at the battle of Big Hat Mountain, fighting the Zamogedi"
So it was the Tuigan vs the Zamogedi.
So for my question:
Who or what are the Zamogedi?
Great stuff!
-Someone else can ask a question; I don't have any.
-The Zamogedi are a tribe who inhabit the northern steppes of the Endless Wastes, seemingly descendents of the Imaskari. Traditionally speaking, they are allies of the Gur and the Naican.
-Someone else can ask a question; I don't have any.
HEY! You just asked a question! You are supposed to wait before answering another one! And of course youre gonna know the answer to that one. Of course maybe I could of come up with a more original question, instead of following up on yours. Still though, After figuring out it was the Zamogedi who was involved in the battle of Big Hat Mountain, I was curious about them and read up on them, Which was a pretty interesting read, so I thought they warranted their own question.
But I'll come up with a new , unrelated question.
What was the name of the area known as the Battle of Bones, before the Battle of Bones? And LK, youre not allowed to answer this one for at least 5 days!
And LK, youre not allowed to answer this one for at least 5 days!
Such shocking treatment towards a fellow RP'er over Christmas! Shocking!

Hey Rules are Rules!!!
-Torynnar Rhaevaern is an Elven Baelnorn who was one of the founding members of the Eldreth Veluuthra, and a member of their "inner circle", the 'Blade Lords'.
-Question: What two groups were the primary 'actors' in the Battle of Big Hat Mountain?
Silver, I think you owe LK a great big apology.
He asked his question 8 DAYS AGO.
It is only 5 days to be able to answer some other question.
Silver, I think you owe LK a great big apology.

Oh!, Sorry LK! It didnt seem that long! So does LK hold the record so far for the longest stumper?
But any way LK didnt post a new question (theres got to be a rule about that aint there!?
)So does my last question still count? or has it been disqualified? Why dont you answer it Delta, and post a question?
You asked a question, so your question is still on the floor.
Now Silver before you come 'un-glued' again make sure you are right!
:-p
Now Silver before you come 'un-glued' again make sure you are right!
:-p
I wasnt unglued!! I just misunderstood the rules, I thought it was a 5 day waiting period starting from the time the question was answered. I got it now. And I apologized. Water under the bridge so to speak. So lets get on with the Trivia! and Ill keep my mouth shut.
What was the name of the area known as the Battle of Bones, before the Battle of Bones?
Such shocking treatment towards a fellow RP'er over Christmas! Shocking!
Well, after Santa's elves were retconned, they stopped making toys. They build dark, evil cities in the Feywild now and plot violence against each other.

Only Ao knows where it is!! Thanx again ;)
EDIT: found said DVD, opened the four pdf's i thought it was in. Nope!! looks like i'll have to search ALL the files!!!
I think this is a trick question designed by The SS to keep us frantically reading 1/2/3e versions of anything remotley linked to FRCS, therefore making us realise that some of these OOP sourcebooks contain wonderful info which make us think 'Hey, that's a useful map/scenario/character/town etc' i'll just print off those few pages and then cause us to forget about the question......

Am I that obvious?
There is a sourcebook in there that has the answer, The name of it should be a good indication which one it is, I dont think its actually named on that page though...
I figured Lego Elminster would of got it by now.
Another hint: Its in one of Elminster's side projects.
#1 or #2?;)
Thats ONE thing I wont say!
'...the plain of Torgor's Triangle.' Elminster's Ecologies, Appendix 1, pg 13. Am I right?
I have a question ready if I am.
'...the plain of Torgor's Triangle.' Elminster's Ecologies, Appendix 1, pg 13. Am I right?

You are so....correct. So what is it?
EDIT: It's been nearly 24 hours so here's a hint: Originally on level 3...
OK..which establishment is the remains of a petrified purple worm? EDIT: It's been nearly 24 hours so here's a hint: Originally on level 3...
The Worm's Gullet, restaurant and casino, in Skullport.
My question: who rules the underground ruins of the Palace of the Purple Emperor?
This one's about The Imaskari, but I can't find the reference. GRRRRRGH!! 
Clue: FRCG for 4E.
An efreet karadjin named Zonaggati now rules... FRCS 4E pg 224.
Is this correct?
An efreet karadjin named Zonaggati now rules... FRCS 4E pg 224.
Is this correct?
Wrong!
;)
(And incidentally, how insane of a mage does one have to be in order to create an interdimensionally larger-on-the-inside city-in-a-tower and put it in Mulhorand, when it was one of the places affected most by the spellplague and Abeir's switcheroo. Is she posessed by Mystra's dopeyness in 4E or something?)
An efreet karadjin named Zonaggati now rules... FRCS 4E pg 224.
Is this correct?
Yes. Well done.
Therise: your explanation is 100% correct.
gr8! I'll post this question, then I'm off to party!!
Who built the old skull inn?
...and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
so...where's the next question?
Indeed! Imruphel your answer was correct, so its up to you to pst a new question.
Is there a rule for that Delta? I say after 24 hours if no new question is posted , you as the Game Show Host should post one.
Here's the next one:
Ike likes...
Jergal, Powers & Pantheons, pg 31! (snip)
For the win! ;)
If The_Ss hadn't mentioned Finder Wyvernspur I never would have found the answer!!!
Damn you Lego Elminster! You beat me to the punch!
And how about a clue? I have no idea who Ike is let alone what he likes!?
OK here's a clue: Ike can be found in an urban FRCS sourcebook.....
EDIT: as oppossed to a 'pure' adventure/module or Rural sourcebook.
I had a feeling that Waterdeep would be the first port of call... you need to be looking in a Forgotten Realms urban source that can be used in any other setting
Oh Ohhhhhhhhh, ok I think I know the one you mean, Ill be back!
Ike Likes spiders, snakes, insects, and other small creatures which the majority of the populace considers repulsive. - Cities of Mystery Pg 50
Next Question: How did the town of Maskyr's Eye get its name?
Maskyr's Eye:
Of old, the Archmage Maskyr explored these lands, which were still new to humankind, and come upon this valley. It was to his liking, and he thought to make a home there. In those days the land around the mountains was controlled by the dwarves, and the king of these dwarves was Tuir, Blood of Helban, who made his throne deep beneath Mount Grimmerfang, which the dwarven people had wrested from Orc King Grimmerfang. Tuir, not wanting to give up any land to these newly arrived humans, gruffly stated that the dwarves would grant the valley to the archmage if Maskyr gave his right eye to Tuir right then and there. Maskyr, to the astonishment of Tuir's court, did so. The bargain was kept, and Maskyr lived happily in the tale that now bears his name.
My question: Where could you find a dwarf vampire, a mummy assassin and a medusa vampire in the same place?
My question: Where could you find a dwarf vampire, a mummy assassin and a medusa vampire in the same place?
Hmmm....by the looks of it, these 3 can be found in the lonely hearts column of The Waterdeep Gazette!!!
'Dwarf vampire seeks living dwarf for fun, fiendship, source of blood. Expect hassle from good paladins and clerics on dates but immortality offered for the right candidiate.
The Boneyard, Underdark? At least the dwarf vamp is there for sure.
You're right!
And thats a tough question Zireael! Im dont even know who Uthegenthal is, let alone why he shaves his head. This is going to be one of the ones where i smack myself after i hear the answer and say D'OH!
thanx Ss. Uthegenthal is a drow. That's all i can remember without wading through my FRCS stuff!
I think Lego Elminster should get some points for his answer as well, IM sure his answer was correct as well, maybe not the official answer, but still.
And thats a tough question Zireael! Im dont even know how Uthegenthal is, let alone why he shaves his head. This is going to be one of the ones where i smack myself after i hear the answer and say D'OH!
Yes, Uthegenthal is a drow.
My assumption though is that it is for the same reason Ryld Argith does: to prevent people from grabbing his hair in combat.
Edit: was I right?
I don't have any material containing Uthegenthal.
My assumption though is that it is for the same reason Ryld Argith does: to prevent people from grabbing his hair in combat.
Edit: was I right?
NOPE!!
Rumors say that Uthegentel, weapon master of House Barrison Del'Armgo, once secretly challenged Zaknafein to a duel. Always willing to oblige, Zaknafein met the crazed warrior in private, outside the city's boundaries. Both returned alive, but Uthegentel, once sporting a marvelous shock of hair, ever-after kept his head shaved. Whispers (VERY soft whispers) say that this was the price Zaknafein demanded to accept Uthegentel's surrender. (Menzberranzon, The House Do'urden Retrospective ,pg 4)
Next question: What are the properties of a Spellstar?
Question: What was the name of the lich who confronted and ultimatley slew the human Lashan (self-styled ruler of all the Dales)?
Answer: The lich's name is Azimer, and he was an instructor at a school of wizardry in Myth Drannor. Lashan ran into him while exploring the school's underhalls in... I think 1357 DR? Azimer did not kill Lashan, however - he was merely imprisoned.
Source: FR Campaign Setting (Gray Box), "School of Wizardry"

And now my Question!
Who hid away the emerald blade Tearulai, and where is it hidden?
Way back on Nov. 21, Mr. Miscellany posted this surprisingly-not-answered-yet question:

So far then we have TWO unanswered questions!!!

Actually that question was answered, we would never ignore Mr. M like that, but for some odd reason the posts by that person have been deleted, but if you notice i quoted the next question from the person who answered it. So Lego Elminster er I mean ukplayerX's question still stands, assuming he was right.
yeah, yeah! You can argue that all you have to do is remove my head from my torso and the torso from the legs and i don't exist. By the Gods, i HATE being made of Lego!!!!
Next question: What are the properties of a Spellstar?
HINT TIME!!
The answer lies in an 'Organization Sourcebook', not a published adventure.
Hint #2: the sourcebook focuses only on 7 powerful women. Is that obvious enough for you? LOL
Hint #3: Bloody hell!! The Seven Sisters Sourcebook. SHEESH!!
(I'll admit that I grabbed this of the Net. I don't have the sourcebook).
"Spellstars are sparkling, translucent blue or green gemstones (usually emeralds or sapphires of not less than 6,000 gp value) or shining starshapes of the purest steel. If made of steel, they
are everbright -enchanted so they cannot rust, tarnish, or become scratched.
Spellstars are spell storage devices. Each can hold up to four wizard or priest spells, but both types cannot be stored in the same item. They can be activated by any being who touches them and whispers the right word of activation; there is a different word for each spell. Spellstars melt away, actually growing smaller, as their stored spells are unleashed. An exhausted spellstar crumbles to dust, forever gone. The spells that allow spellstars to be recharged are rare and
secret indeed. Only Alustriel, Elminster, and Syluné are thought to know them."
Ok, I did have a question prepped, but since I deleted it from an earlier post and don' t have my books with me to quickly look up the proper names, let's continue with Erik Nowak's question instead:
Who hid away the emerald blade Tearulai, and where is it hidden?
I think I now where the answer is...
What was the name of the Coronal who owned the shattering swords?
Halaster hid the blade Tearulai beneath the pool of death in room 38 of Ruins of Undermountain II.
What was the name of the Coronal who owned the shattering swords?
Ynloeth.
That was easy.
And now I've got to think about a question...
Let's go:
What was the name of the most shocking pact made during the times of Myth Drannor?
Would that be the pact that Ilitran Starym made with Moander so he could fool the Starym moonblade, his family and the coronal?
(That includes two of my favourite Realmslore subjects: Moander and House Starym.)
What is the name of the cleric, apparently of Talos, who actually serves Shar and Cyric?
(That includes two of my favourite Realmslore subjects: Moander and House Starym.)
What is the name of the cleric, apparently of Talos, who actually serves Shar and Cyric?
My question is a simple one: Nesker was the sorcerer-king of which city?
-- George Krashos
I'm 'sort of away' for the next 3 weeks as I need to prioritise - but weekends are OK
-- George Krashos
And just in case im right a new Question, a follow up one to Mulmaster:
Many cities in the Realms have nick names, Waterdeep is known as the City of Splenders. Mulmaster is known as the City of __________ ?
So my question:
When Teryani Ealoeth killed Borstag Duncastle, what did she take fom him?
So my question:
When Teryani Ealoeth killed Borstag Duncastle, what did she take fom him?
...err....his life!!
next question LOL
next question LOL
I am looking for something more... physical.
Hint: Teryani Ealoeth is a feyri. Borstag Duncastle is a Sembian.
I bet Rich Baker knows the answer. ;)
(That's two hints... Hmm. I just realized that would have made a great question... ow. next time...)
Mysteries of the Moonsea, p89: Mulmaster is known as the City of Danger.
So my question:
When Teryani Ealoeth killed Borstag Duncastle, what did she take fom him?
His eyes.
Final Gate; The Last Mythal book 3; pg: 171
It was also mentioned in the Farthest Reach, pg 323.
I will concede the next question to 18Delta. I am not worthy yet to pose a trivia question yet.
Wha!? You answered the question! You are worthy!!!
What was the unique knowledge given to Ilsensine by Finder Wyvernspur, and why did Ilsensine give it back to Finder?
Well with my schedule at the moment, all my FRCS books are sitting on the shelf gathering dust - GRRRRR!Thank you Silversword. Here it is.
What was the unique knowledge given to Ilsensine by Finder Wyvernspur, and why did Ilsensine give it back to Finder?
Hint 1: Finder gave the unique knowledge to Ilsensine to save Joel and himself from becoming Ilsensine's mind slaves.
Hint 2: Finder and Joel were captured by Ilsensine's mind slaves while sailing the Outlands towards Sigil aboard a Spelljammer ship.
Tough one! Ive been reading up on Finder but cant find it. Is it novel specific? Its from Finder's Bane isnt it? thats the one Finder novel i havent read yet, D'OH!
Hint 3: Yes its from Finder's Bane.
Was it a song that gets stuck in your head over and over, much like 1980's Mickey by Toni Basil?
Thats close enough for me, Imruphel. Its your turn now.
Finder gave Ilsensine a recursive song, a tuneful little ditty in which the last verse leads directly back into the first, forming a closed loop. Ilsensine couldn't get it out of his head and with his powerful brain, couldn't stop thinking about it and it spead to his priests. Finder's Bane pg 276-277.
Imagine having "I'm Henry the VII, I am I am" stuck in your head.
1980's Mickey by Toni Basil?
Imagine having "I'm Henry the VII, I am I am" stuck in your head.
I hate you both forever. 
1980's Mickey by Toni Basil?Imagine having "I'm Henry the VII, I am I am" stuck in your head.
I hate you both forever.
I am sure that the author was thinking of Mickey when he included that part in the novel. And it really is amazing what an effect mentioning Mickey has on people over a certain age!
Now, on with the question:
What is the formal title of Dalchatha Maereegh?
I haven't forgotten about you all, i'm still really busy! OK, that's a giveaway.... ;)
As the only clue on Google you will find is in another language, I think the answer to this question might be a tad obscure so shall I provide the answer and pass the baton to another?
Im not ready to throw in the towel just yet, Is this one novel specific? or you say its a tad obscure? That makes me think of old Dragon articles. OK im off to the garage to dig out old Dragon Magazines.
So Im going with her official title has being the Mouth of Moander. Final Answer!
Moander is probably my favourite FR deity of all time. He/it will feature in my next big FR4E campaign. I've been wanting to feature him/it for years and, as this will probably be the last campaign I ever run, I want to make sure he/it is included.
But any way time for a new question:
Who was Baldur's Gate named after? and no it wasnt Baldur.
...and here I was, thinking you'd given us an easy question. The city is named for the legendary seafaring explorer Balduran...(Forgotten Realms Adventures, pg 77, TSR 2106)
My turn now, as i think i'm correct.
What is the name of the geographical area that became the home of FRCS 'Arabian Adventures'?
The city is named for the legendary seafaring explorer Balduran...(Forgotten Realms Adventures, pg 77, TSR 2106)
Yup you got it! Lots of good stuff in the Forgotten Realms Adventures book!
The city is named for the legendary seafaring explorer Balduran...(Forgotten Realms Adventures, pg 77, TSR 2106)
Yup you got it! Lots of good stuff in the Forgotten Realms Adventures book!
Yep, I've decided to chill-out tonight with a hot pot of Earl Grey tea, some Scottish shortbread biscuits and some of those sourcebooks you don't usually think to look through. I don't think the wife will be to impressed though LOL
I have to ask a question now, don't I.
What is the 'death card', and where can it be found?
I have to ask a question now, don't I.
What is the 'death card', and where can it be found?
Thats easy, the Death Card is the Ace of Spades, or wait they use Talis decks in the Realms, so then the Death card would be....uhm not a clue....Myrkul?
Or no wait, its a Deck of Many Things!
Or no wait, thats not Realms specific. Is there a Realms specific Deck of Many Things?
I'm still baffled, now even more so!
But any way after rereading the rules, I am supposed to wait a full five days before answering another question, so really I shouldnt even be trying to answer this one, which is ok cause I have no clue what the answer is.
And ok I just checked and it HAS been 5 days since I last answered a question, so I'm good to go!
of course I'm still clueless here. So that doesnt really help anyways.
Totally baffled as well. i thought about the DoMT but 'location specific', well looks like another night with a pot of Earl Grey and Scottish shortbread!!!
Ok so yeah I could of just gave a simple answer, but this just seemed a funner way to go about it, that and I'm bored. But theres the answer, found out the hard way!
Next Question: Where would be the best place to score some Ginyak Weed?
Oh you mean the source, Volo's guide to Waterdeep pg 86.
Next Question: Where would be the best place to score some Ginyak Weed?
I would say Waterdeep, you can find anything in Waterdeep.
Hint: Daryth would know.
But that doesn't seem specific enough.
So it seems I still have to find a new favorite pub in Waterdeep.
You are more than welcome to join me/us at The Unicorn's Horn. It became our local only because the elf who eventually became my partner-in-crime was a follower of Mielikki and he took it as a 'good sign' (typical Dales yokel!!)
I think we should let gomez have it if he's right - i'm still looking
I know what country it is from - or where it is used most, anyway: Calimshan.
But that doesn't seem specific enough.
Calimshan is the answer i was looking for, you got it! As far as I know they never got more specific, other than to say it was a Calishite thing.
So it seems I still have to find a new favorite pub in Waterdeep.
You are more than welcome to join me/us at The Unicorn's Horn. It became our local only because the elf who eventually became my partner-in-crime was a follower of Mielikki and he took it as a 'good sign' (typical Dales yokel!!)
The Unicorn's Horn eh? I'll have to check it out. Perhaps I'll see you there!
What is the color of death cheese, and where is it made?
Deathcheese is red and I think it is made in Skullport.
You got the color right... now the location!
Farsea Marshes --Volo’s Guide to Cormyr pg (205)
Where in the world did I get Skullport? Since Volo is unreliable I will wait until Gomez says yes or no.
Well, Volo and Aurora the Eclectic (Aurora's Whole Reams Catalogue, p122) seem to agree - mostly - on the location. Aurora refers to 'marshes bordering Cormyr and Sembia' - the Farsea Marshes do not border Sembia, but I am guessing Volo was more accurate here.
Aurora could have been protecting her sources. Anyways here is my question:
The Game of Masks is held in which city?
next question...
What are the languages Ignan and Loross required entry for?
Hint #1: The answer can be found in an urban sourcebook (without checking back thorugh this forum, wasn't my last question based on an urban sourcebook? )
;)
Hint #1: The answer can be found in an urban sourcebook
Hint #2: It's a Prestige Class.
Well ok lets see, theyre obviously a nasty lot. All members need to be able to communicate with fire elementals and Netherese? Sounds evil to me! Sounds like a cabal of Necromancers. Oh wait here it is! found it! Waterdeep: City of Speldors pg 88. What the hey? Sun Soul Monk? Must follow Lathander, Selune, or Sune? I thought for sure this would be an EVIL orginization, not goody goodies. Why would they need to speak Ignan and Loross? OOOHHHHH IC. Its based off of the worship of old Amaunator, so ok Ignan, Fire- the Sun, and he was an old Netheril god so ok yeah Loross. Ok it makes sense to me now, learn something new everyday. And I just checked and by 4e standards I could join, I do know Ignan (Primordial) and Loross (Netherese), and I would be willing to take Hanali as my patron deity, hmmmmmm...
So Final Answer: Sun Soul Monk
Next Question: Who is the current god of Vigilance?
Hmm. I suppose this means a question from me? Something easy I think.
Question: What wizards spell, bearing the name of it's iconic creator, has been translated through each edition since it's appearance, and allows it's caster to swap spells for health?
Final Answer: Simbul's Synostodweomer
Question: This one might be hard, but it's my first question so I thought it would be nice to be memoriable.
What special quality or more appropiatly, what gives the special qualities to the monks whom are faithful to Mask and Everis Cale in his second trilogy dubbed The Twilight War?
If I understand the rules (I'll be honest, I only skimmed things), I can't answer this can I?
-RW
I'll leave the hints to the asker though.
-RW
I think they were from Teflamm.;)
That is a pretty good hint. Yes, it is in the same book that details the city and the guild of the same name.
A rite sacred to Mask called the Ritural of Shadow Walking. Which exchanges some of your life souce for shadowstuff.
I think this will probably be a easy one...
Question: What are the three orginal elven sub-races that came to the Forgotten Realms?
Question: How did Alea Dahast die?
Wood elves, gold elves and moon elves. Can be from a variety of sources, from FRCS to Evermeet.
Question: How did Alea Dahast die?
According to the PM I got with the answer to John's question in it, you are wrong. But he did say he is old and his memory 'sucks'.;)
On the other question I was taking an educated guess, considering I never recieved any PM's informing me of the correct answers.
I found out one of you guys have me blocked.
Wood elves, gold elves and moon elves. Can be from a variety of sources, from FRCS to Evermeet.
Question: How did Alea Dahast die?
Nope you are wrong. I double checked it with a souce. You are however 1/3rd correct.
As a random guess, wood elves, dark elves and avariel.
Almost correct....
Hint: a little early but I might not be around later...So here is hint on two of them
One was nearly hunted to the point of extinction by Dragons
One is even more reclusive than Wild Elves.
Hmm. Wood elves, lythari and avariel?
That is correct. Ask your question.
Nai please no questions about Corellon's undergarments, hey?
Well there is no official Forgotten Realms lore on Corellons underwear, so Nai couldnt, by the rules, ask such a question.
But Elminster's Undies are fair game!
Oh, crap, I need to ask a question don't I. Uh... *grabs nearest book, flips to random page*
Under 2E stats, what are Queen Amlauril's non-weapon proficiencies?
(This is a terrible question but I'm lazy and in a hurry. :P)
*grabs nearest book, flips to random page*
What an excellent method. I'm using it next time
I would answer this one, but im gonna hold out, give somebody else the opportunity to answer.
That and I cant think of a good question myself.
Elves of Evermeet, pg 94
My question: Who was the Flame of Var?
My question: Who was the Flame of Var?
That is a good question...one I must research.
i can't play at the moment. my monitor's snafu'ed!!Estelarra Rilpar is the Flame of Var. TGHotR pg 104.
Next question: Where is The Book of Mysteries hidden?
Well ive been reading through the Shining South, thinking for sure that the answer had to be in there, but no such luck, then it occurs to me that this is probably an important piece of history, so the best place to look would be the Grand History of the Realms, and sho' 'nuf, there it is.
While my monitors screwed i'm using the oppurtunity to make a list of questions...yes, it's true. I have no life!
What have these guys got to do with FRCS?

I've played it backwards. All i hear is 'Play fourth edition, play fourth edition'. Scary!
I dont know what other hints to give with out just outright saying what novel its from.
Any guesses? Where would be a good place to hide a book?
HINT: A library in the Realms...
I was hoping on keeping the answer obscured by the Shadows of Doom!
EDIT: What was the name of the Most High's wife?
More specificaly "it lies hidden beneath a rune-graven flagstone under the circular table in the innermost chamber of Candlekeep." - Shadows of Doom pg 1
The next question is yours Zireael
(Shadowrealm, page 92)
I originally thought to ask a LFR-based question, but I think the rules prohibit that?
So another one:
Who banished Caelynna to the Realms, and from where?
Gomez
The Most High's wife was the Lady Alashar.

Gomez
This a good question. Though I am weak on the novels(well the later ones...I stopped reading them after Princes of Lies) so I'll probably not get it. But my compliments to you on this question.
If it's novel based I demand a game supplement based question - RIGHT NOW18DELTA(PRAISE MYSTRA!)
18DELTA(MYSTRA RULES, CYRIC DROOLS!)
Of course someone else will probably have it answered by the time i get done with the book.
Well good for you.
Gomez sent me the answer so I will look at it again and try to figure out a hint. Or Gomez could provide one.
The answer to the question is the race of those people, and the name of the place they were from.
Shes Eladrin, banished from the Feywild, by Eladrin.
Next question: If I was in the City of Saffron, which city would I be in?
Easy trigger, don't go hurtin yourself.;)
Where in the Feywild, Who in the Feywild, and Page#.
Good question that you did ask Silver.
The name of the more specific location in the feywild is the Shining Valley. One of the eladrin was prince Fergraff. (WotBL, p288).
Carry on.
Next question: If I was in the City of Saffron, which city would I be in?
I got the answear...but I feel cheap on how I did it...so I'll ask.
Is it all right to just goggle the answear? Or does that bend the spirit of the rules?
It's good enough for me.

Carry on.
Ahh ok, I havnt made it that far in the book yet, Im glad that they give more specifics on her banishment, I was afraid they was going to keep it vague. From what ive read so far its a pretty good story, and the monks definitely kick some a$$! Thanks Gomez, if it wasnt for you askin that question I probably wouldnt have read this one.

Well theres no rule against using google, Delta may change that? It would be kind of hard though to prove wether or not some one used google or not. And to be perfectly honest, ive used google a time or two myself.
The way I see it, If you got the answer, you got the answer, regardless of where you got it from.
Fire away with you answer John, unless someone else swoops in and answers first!
It be nice if the answer included the original source though, so we can look it up ourselves.
Gomez
Well googling for the answer is frowned apon at Candlekeep. At least John is honest about it. I really don't care. But its better to explore and read one's Realmslore to find the answer.
Fire away with you answer John, unless someone else swoops in and answers first!
I'll see if I can find it in my tomes of FR lore first....if somebody gets before I do...well that is ok...but it will atleast give me a chance to ask a interesting question.
City of Saffron... I seem to connect it with Sembia... Isn't it Ordulin?
No it isnt in Sembia, but it does start with O
Very well another hint: Its down by the Border Kingdoms.
;)
Any one with a map should be able to get this one.
We just don't draw enough people that read 3rd edition sourcebooks...
That's because we can't read! We get our DM to explain EVERYTHING :D
Question:This one is easy.....Who is Lady Doom?
Lady Doom is Beshaba - Faiths and Avatars, pg 42.Next Question: What is 'The Key'?
Next Question: What is 'The Key'?
You correct. And that is a good question.
Clue #1: the answer is in an adventure...
Clue #2: It is a 2E adventure...
I was going to say the same thing.
Later...
OK im back the adventure I was thinking of is For Duty and Deity, and there is reference in that one to a key, lots of keys actually, power keys, spell keys, door keys, even a monkey. None of these though I think are specific enough to be "The Key" of which you speak.
Looking through my collection of Adventures I realize that i dont hardly have any, I never did buy too many of those, I always found it more fun to make up my own with the material provided in the Sourcebooks, but lookin back now I should of really picked more of them up, they do sneak some interesting lore in there and some of the maps are pretty cool, I was flippin through that Shadowdale adventure (not the ToT one, the 3.x one that ties in with Cormyr the Tearing of the Weave) while at my FLGS. Its got some pretty cool maps of Shadowdale and the surrounding area in there, I may just head back there and pick that up once i get paid. Oh
im getting off topic here.OK im gonna go with the key is a mummified monkey paw? is that right?
I didnt think so.
The Key is from Castle Spulzeer (page 61). It is a broadsword +2, specifically enchanted to neutralize specific wards in the adventure. It is ancient and covered in rust.
New question: Who led the Risen Cult of Bane?
Gomez
Nope...
Hint: The Risen Cult of Bane appeared in a 2nd ed adventure.
Hint: It was written by Ed Greenwood...;)
HINT: The Adventure was set in the Moonshae's... ;)
Here's another hint: the cult was primarily active in the Moonshae Isles.
Or should I give the answer and post a new question?
Someone asked a question about this same guy on the current Candlekeep thread (Forgotten Realms Trivia Challenge 2) awhile back.;)
Talos is not likely to be found as a high priest of Bane... :P
No, we are talking about a mortal here.
Talos is not likely to be found as a high priest of Bane... :P
Well he is Gruumsh now so...
;)
(I actually stole all the names out of the adventure some time ago for some other clerics of Bane in another campaign which is why I knew this.)
What was a "righteous potentate"?
And a righteous potentate? hmmmmm... im not even sure what a potentate is? ...
okay after looking up potentate i see it is a ruler, so a rightous ruler? and the question is what is, not who is, so its not a specific person but a title. So im thinking its a leader of some religious order. Rightous leads me to bellieve that its an order of good...hmmmm but which one? ... I'll be back!
*goes off to read thru Faiths & Avatars*
Gauntather, the "Dark Druid", was the leader of the Risen Cult of Bane in the Moonshae Isles according to page 38 of Halls of the High King.
(I actually stole all the names out of the adventure some time ago for some other clerics of Bane in another campaign which is why I knew this.)
What was a "righteous potentate"?
Correct according to the PM Gomez sent me. Plus I have a PDF copy. Interesting fella...
So will you PM me the answer to your question or am I still on your ignore list?;)
nah! go ahead Ss - i'm to busy to look for the actual reference!
...What did Bren Goldenbeard lead?
Question + 24 Hours = Hint #1 - The adventure was released in 1988
(...and a 'Righteous Potentate' is an overseer/high priest for the Church of Amaunator - Winds of Netheril pg 35)
But its from an adventure from 1988? hmmm thats an early one, off to go look through my meager collection of adventures.
Damn! I should of just answered it, Your question is too tough!
Sorry, that's what happens when your monitor stops working for two weeks - all i did was read old stuff or pdf's!!
..and i make up for it with decent hints IMO!!!
( snip) So will you PM me the answer to your question or am I still on your ignore list?;)
Who said you were on my ignore list?
(snip) (...and a 'Righteous Potentate' is an overseer/high priest for the Church of Amaunator - Winds of Netheril pg 35)
Correct, and the other source is Faiths & Avatars. (Sorry for the slow confirmation. I forgot I had a question here!)
( snip) So will you PM me the answer to your question or am I still on your ignore list?;)
Who said you were on my ignore list?
I sent a 'Friendship Request' to you awhile back.
I got a message back saying you had me blocked.;)
No harm, no foul. I guess I can be a troll sometimes...

Oops. you may be right. There was a stage when you and LK threadcrapped (sorry!) in every single thread so I just put both of you on ignore for a period of time.
I remember when I had around 25 people on ignore...
At the risk of threadcrapping one post after I mentioned threadcrapping, I will say feel free to put me on ignore. After all, it's only fair. ;)
OK, I better answer the questions.
Bren Goldenbeard was the leader of 1st Dwarven Air Cavalary in Sword of the Iron Legion, not to be confused with Bren Wingblade, commander of the Windriders in the same adventure.
As the previous question was my own, perhaps someone else could take a turn?
Magic Items from 1E/2E.
I have a Bonus Question: Who created the Doomstars?
Ooooh, Oooooh I know, I know! But me and Delta were just talking about this over on that other site, so I dont feel right answering it.
Which implies the question: What are the Doomstars?
Kinda like Ioun stones, but more bad a$$, and they circled the wrist.
I have a Bonus Question: Who created the Doomstars?Ooooh, Oooooh I know, I know! But me and Delta were just talking about this over on that other site, so I dont feel right answering it.
Calm down Horseshack...
Lol, I didnt know what you meant! I had to google Horseshack, the dude from Welcome Back Kotter! Yeah I guess that was a very Horshack thing to say.
Young young'ns and your lack of an edu-ma-cation! ;)
In a novel written by Ed Greenwood.
Silver knows the answer.
ORIGINAL POST: Time for one of my 'blatantly obvious hints', which i used to use frequently in my V:TM game:
...DWARF!!!!
and Doomstones!!! You pig!! LOL
EDIT: next time i will read through ALL the new posts that i have missed over the week - DOH!!!
Which implies the question: What are the Doomstars?
I think we're been thrown a curve ball here :D
Doomstones are in WFRP!!
Lol, I didnt know what you meant! I had to google Horseshack, the dude from Welcome Back Kotter! Yeah I guess that was a very Horshack thing to say.
Young young'ns and your lack of an edu-ma-cation! ;)
Im not that young, its just been years and years since ive seen that show.
Which implies the question: What are the Doomstars?
I think we're been thrown a curve ball here :D
Doomstones are in WFRP!!
Not Doomstones! Doomstars! Stars!!
And I cant beleive that theres more interest in the Doomstars than in Elminster's Enchanted Undergarments! But I'll go ahead a give some info on the Doomstars with out , I hope, giving away the answer.
four spherical stones of winking pale blue radiance, trailing motes of light as they orbited the bracer whose mighty spells tied them together, focusing their power into a weapon no shapeshifter could withstand. The slightest touch of the rays—a dozen or more at a time—could hold a Malaugrym unmoving, a powerless captive. . Properly wielded, the Doomstar rays could force a shapeshifter into any form the wielder chose, from worm to mushroom, and bind the victim in that form forever by stripping away the power to shapeshift.
It also goes with the Crown of Shadows.
No its has nothing to do with Shades...
Hmm. I do think I know which trilogy they are in though.
The Magical Undergarments are out of left-field in Cloak of Shadows.
I was just about to say the same thing. That whole scene really added nothing to the book and just brought up more questions, like what was Hoar up to? We have to go back and read Powers and Pantheons to find out. Im thinking that TSR told Ed that he had to have at least one scene in there dealing with an avatar of one of the gods. Who knows? That whole bit with Ao was pretty whacked out too, but amusing.
Doomstars, Doomstones, Doomsages, Doomsons, Doomsun, Doomspoons, Doomswords!! They're all the same - the all bring DOOM...
I want to hear more about the Doomspoons!
All about the Doomspoons here www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y
The Doomspoon is not nearly as cool as I would of thought it would be. The Horribly slow murderer was just too horribly slow, I could not bring myself to watch the whole thing!
Would someone answear the question...and can the next one not be module base...I never owned a module.
Fine, I'll go ahead and answer this one just to keep the ball moving here, but I still feel funny about it because Delta and I were talking about this over at Candlekeep, so he knows that I know the answer, although it is possible that he thought I was just making up the whole bit about Elminsters Magical Underwear and didnt actually read that book.
The Answer is The Human Wizard Malaug, first of the Malaugrym created the Doomstars. Not sure specifically what page its on but its from the Novel Cloak of Shadows by Ed Greenwood.
And next question: What book lists Sharess as being a CG aspect of Shar?
Pages 19 and 20 of Cloak of Shadows.
It's the first time I have read the Shadows of the Avatar Series.
And next question: What book lists Sharess as being a CG aspect of Shar?
In the Cyclopedia of the Realms book from the Old gray box, page 17.
You are correct goldomark, That was pretty fast, you know its kinda funny when i first got on here, one of the first discussions i participated in was about Shar and her aspects and I brought up the fact that I remembered Sharess being listed as one of her aspects although I couldnt remeber the source at the time, every one laughed at me and even threatened to burn me at the stake for such heresy. Heh but there it is, whos laughing now
The floor, as they say, is yours.
The Challenge Guidelines on Page One say, once every 24 hours.
I say let them look for it...;)
Some of us have to look things up. Thats what this is all about. Learning the Lore in a fun way.
Ahhh. I dont have too many of the adventures, but that is one I do have! Unfortunatly, It looks as if not enough time has passed since my last question fo me to answer this one, just my luck!
Ah yes, what is it , what does it do, and what is it missing. I was only focusing on the what is and what does it do.
Ok, folks I got this idea from Candlekeep. I am starting this thread to try and generate some activity on THIS forum. I will moderate this thread, so I don't mind off topic banter, but let's try and stay on topic...ok?
I know its cheesy, but I am copy/pasting the Rules from Wooly's scroll at the Keep. I know it's lazy, but I am editing out some parts that don't pertain to these forums.
The rules:
1. All questions must come from a novel, sourcebook, official (non-subscription) TSR/WotC web release, or Dragon magazine. Lore originating solely from computer games (including their manuals), comic books, mailing lists (like Realms-L), forums (including this one), apocryphal sources such as the Double Diamond Triangle Saga, or any other unofficial TSR/WotC source are disallowed. Polyhedron and Dungeon magazines are similarly off-limits; while they did contain official Realms material, Dragon had a lot more such material and a wider reader base. Dragon was also where the Realms first saw print, so it's only fitting to include it.
It's only fair if we use non-obscure material that everyone has a reasonable chance of easily obtaining.
2. It is requested that any member answering a question refrain from doing so again for five days. There are plenty of people who know a lot, but others need to have a chance.
3. If no one has correctly answered a question within 24 hours of its posting, the posting member needs to provide a hint, and the hint must be informative enough to give others a chance to find the information. For example (drawing from the previous Trivia Challenge), if the question was "Who was Alisker Lathundown of Nuel?", saying "He's dead!" is not a sufficient hint. Saying "Alisker was one of seven, and the seven aren't as well known as the lady mage they served. He's definitely dead, but may or may not be still around." is enough information to aim people in the right direction. (He's one of the skulls that served Tashara of the Seven Skulls; he's named in the "Elminster's Notebook" article of the same name in Dragon 206.)
4. It's recommended, but not necessary, that when the correct answer is given, a reference be provided. That way, others can read up on it, if they wish.
5. The member who correctly answers a question is then allowed to post a question of their own. It's a good idea to have a question ready, instead of saying "I'll come back with one in several hours" (I myself am guilty of the latter!
6. At this time, questions which cover the entirety of 1e, 2e, 3e and 4e FORGOTTEN REALMS are allowed as part of this Trivia Challenge. However, 4e questions based solely on information from the DDI are discouraged, since a large number of members have not subscribed to that service, and the information is thus not available for them.
7. Remember, the purpose of this is simply to have some fun and share lore. There's no need to lord superior knowledge of Realmslore over each other; we're all here because we love the setting.
8. If your Answer is correct, then please PM me the answer to the Question you will ask.
Please see point #2.
Q: What are Frostrune's Restraint, what did they do that was so exceptionnal and what is missing from them?
Ok I think I got it, I had to reread it several times before i realized what is missing (even though it sayis right there plain as day). But as Delta pointed out, I still have a day to wait before im eligible to answer it. That should give some one else the opportunity to answer.
Delta, man. You were are rebel, man. Now you a square, man?
Yes, he has turned away from the glory that is Cyric!
They are just guys that let their hormones do the talking, while Midnight is moping why they can't just all get along (to be honest, she sounds a lot like one of my PCs).
As to Undermountain: I have nothing on that.
Gomez
I'm reading Waterdeep at the moment, and I yet can't see why Cyric was divine material. Or Kelemvor, for that matter.
They are just guys that let their hormones do the talking, while Midnight is moping why they can't just all get along (to be honest, she sounds a lot like one of my PCs).
As to Undermountain: I have nothing on that.
Gomez
You really need to read Crucible. I think Cyric really shines in that one. Its book 5 of the Avatar trilogy, yes its a 5 part trilogy. Book 4 would be Prince of Lies, also a good book, but Lord Cyric gets royaly screwed in that one!
But any way as for the answer to the Trivia Question, It is:
It is a spell designed by Priamon "Frostrune" Rakesk of the Twisted Rune. The spell sends a glowing ball of energy toward a target and wraps the creature in magical bonds designed to specifically fetter wizards and prevent spellcasting. The magical energy of the bond are tied directly to the victim's life force, making it very dangerous to disrupt.
The spell forms globes of energy around the victim's extremities, hands and feet, but not the head. So thats what its missing a head restraint.
Did I get it? Close enough?
What and where is Muzhujaarnadah?
The material component is what is missing (at the beginning of the spell the components are listed has V,S,M, but when you read the spell it is never mentionned) and you forgot to mentionned that the spell was used to restrain Halaster Blackcloak.
But you have the floor, let us keep the ball rolling.
Ahhh ok, I wasnt sure what you meant by what it was missing, I must of read that spell 20 times and couldnt figure it out but then I noticed it specifically pointed out that it restrained the hands and feet, but not the head so I was thinking the head restraint was what you meant by what was missing. But yeah good point they dont say what the material component was, they also dont bother telling you what the verbal and somatic component was either, but they never did. Im guessing they left that out because they didnt intend for pcs to actually get access to the spell, but it would be a handy one to have.
Well Clatto Verata Nicto, could do or Klaatu Barada Nikto, would also be acceptable
Now if the Army of Darkness over-runs this thread I am holding you responsible for it Goldomark.
What and where is Muzhujaarnadah?
Hint time: It's loosely translanted into the City of Shadow
Has enough time elapse for me to answer, lets say tomorrow?
Wonder what class and level Ash would be?
yeah, your question was like 6 days ago, so yeah you can answer it.
Going by personality, the association (in a way) with blue dragons, and the likelyness of dealing with an evil divine power who recently ascended, I would say Iyachtyu Xvim. Xvim is pretty ugly but can appear as a handsome lad - though I am unaware of any limitations.
I'm probably wrong though (I have the nasty feeling I should know this... that last hint sounds familiar).
Where can you find a human male named Flame and why would seek him out?
As for the human theif Flame, It sounds familiar but I can't for the life of me place it. It seems like something I should know though.
Hint: He was at one time a arsonist...but retired from that line of work...
I guess it got too hot for him...
Sorry about the bad pun...
There is a 2nd Lords of Darkness!?!
anyway, should we assume that Flame is in a Volo supplement?
Aye, there is a 2e Lords of Darknes, but its nothing like the 3e one. Its more like Libris Mortis, or Open Grave, but only 2e and set in the Realms.
And there were lots of NPCs in those volo guides so it is possible, but NPCs were featured in just about everything! This guy could be anywhere!
There is a 2nd Lords of Darkness!?!
anyway, should we assume that Flame is in a Volo supplement?
Hint: He might be...but I got the info on him from a older souce than any of the Volo's guide. I didn't check to see if he appeared in anyother souces.
Good pick up on the class clue.
Its all about undead...
It was written by Ed of the Greenwood...
Wow John good question...
I've been away from my FRCS books for so long I have no idea what's going on.. BOO HOO!!I know it's not who you're thinking of, because you referenced a "he".
I don't know, because the only "Flame" I know was Kethryllia Amarillis, a.k.a Flame-Flower. She was a moon-elf from Evermeet and lived in the times before the Crown Wars. She had quite the history....I can't remember all of it....but I know she took part in the defense of Evermeet, wound up travelling to the Demonweb Pits and wound up working with Kiaransalee, I believe in order to save someone I think.
I know it's not who you're thinking of, because you referenced a "he".
No it is not the answear...as it is just Flame...it is human...and a male. Though I am curious about this Flame thrower. Where the back story for this character?
I also have no more ideas for anymore hints without giving it away. So the next hint might be more than a day away.
Is there anytime limit on how long a question can go unansweared before we move on?
Then its you call John...
I figured Silver would have sniffed it out by now...
HINT: Its in one of the oldest realms products, actually the second one ever...
Flame can be found in Selgaunt, he arranges for certain people to be hidden, transported, and kidnapped. So if you needs somebody to "disappear", hes your man to see. HE can be reached at the Green Gauntlet inn on the city's eastren docks. DM's Sourcebook of the Realms pg 21.
Is that right? Did I get it? Close enough? Should I go ahead a post a question?
New question: Name the lesser deity of reason and pragmatism that was destroyed during the Dawn Cataclysm.
Is it a Jaamdathi deity?
My source doesnt say, I suppose it is possible, and would make some sense, although Im not sure when exactly the Dawn Cataclysm happend, so whos to say?
Well inside and outside of Realms Space...
I don't think WotC knows when the Dawn Cataclysm happened. It's like the Stormstar Requiem it happened outside of Realms Space...
Well inside and outside of Realms Space...
too true, Im guessing that it happend sometime around the fall of Jaamdath, and the Ascension of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul. I think thats why Jergal gave up his divinity, he didnt want to be caught up in the Dawn Cataclysm thing.
2.8. Where can I get more information about the Dawn Cataclysm?Nowhere, at present. It's one of the abiding mysteries of the Realms. Sorry we can't be more help with this one. :-)
[Steven Schend, in a post to Realms-L, said that to his knowledge, there are no plans to expand on the Dawn Cataclysm in any further Realms products.]
Many list members have speculated, though.
Simon Gibbs does a good job of summarizing what’s known:
A quick note on the date of the Dawn Cataclysm: it's a perennial thorn for those interested in Realms Timelines. Perhaps the most definitive stuff I have seen on this topic came from Steven Schend in response to a request for a timeline of the Dawn Cataclysm, including the birth dates and locations of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul, and related material.
To soothe the debate, Steve Schend wrote:
Not to disappoint, but this will probably never happen, simply because it's irrelevant to mortal Realms history. The Dawn Cataclysm occurs only among the gods and has no impact whatsoever on the mortal plane of the Realms save one: A schism forms in the faith of Tyche and the church splits into the faiths of Beshaba and Tymora. This happens somewhere between the height of the Netheril Empire and the beginning of Dalereckoning.
I'm not narrowing it down further than that right now, and frankly, I've no desire to do so, as it should be a vague time at best. As for the births of Bane/Bhaal/Myrkul, I've even less interest in dredging those topics up; suffice it to say that they may have existed long ago as mortals and at some point in the dim and misty past they became the gods they were.
They all died or/and lost their divinity in the Time of Troubles, and no matter how many schemes may be hatched to try and bring them back to godhood, they will forever canonically remain dead issues.
[Note well that Steven prefaces this posting (which included much stuff on future products on Netheril) with: "I'll start out with a disclaimer that states that none of these ideas discussed are officially part of any product idea or schedule at this point. It's more of a peek inside my head as to opinions, musings, and some of the stories and lore I'd like to layer onto Netheril. These may become products, plot hooks or ideas in other products, magazine articles, or even short stories at some point. Who knows? They're just ideas & pinions as of right now...."]
As a final comment, to quote Tom Costa of the list: "The date is uncertain and TSR has said they will not date godly FR events that took place out of mortal eyes, _which I think is fine_." Good words to heed, perhaps.
Paul Hoyak added:
For those with some interest in the Dawn Cataclysm (though I am not one of them) there WAS an official date(s) given for the Dawn Cataclysm; however, since it was found on the Forgotten Realms Conspectus (this is the first published mention of the Dawn Cataclysm) the date is definitely questionable: c. 161 DR: The Dawn Cataclysm.
Jason Hatter rebutted:
Something for the Dawn Cataclysm portion: it definitely happened before 134DR, since at that time Azuth was no longer Magister, and he either was a Magister at the time of the DC, or became one after it....either of which is before the date mentioned in SotM....
2.8.1.What gods existed at the time of the Dawn Cataclysm?Answer: We don’t know for sure:
Tavis King compiled a partial list:
Amaunator, Jannath, Jergal, Kozah, Moander, Mystryl(Mystra), Selune, Shar, Targus, and Tyche are listed in the Netheril Boxed set. Lathander must also have existed if he started the cataclysm.
And goldomark its still a little early yet for hints, but I will tell you that the GHotR is not the source i'm going by, but it may indeed be in there.
The goddess was named Murdane.
Damn it! My questions suck! They never last!
You got it!
Next question: Which elf created the Dales Compact?
Justin 'Do Good' Demonslayer can be found on Mingabwe (Realmspace, pg 40) and his two evil magical items can be found on Polluter, the Class A moon orbiting Mingabwe. (Realmspace, pg 43)
Next question: Which elf created the Dales Compact?
Eltargrim Irithyl the sixth Coronal of Cormanthyr. Page 130 of Lost Empires of Faerun.
Question: During the Time of Troubles who did Lliira take as a lover?
Question: During the Time of Troubles who did Lliira take as a lover?
Half of fearun?
LOL.
No
While it might be true...one was special...
Gomez
I can't find a reference to Lliira taking a lover during the Times of Trouble (not enough source material that refences the Upheaval), though Faiths & Avatars mentions Grand Rapturemother (formerly High Revelmistress) Chlanna Asjros from Selgaunt as having been "touched by Lliira'" (the quotes are from the text). Deduce and spin from there... Doesn't say that was during the ToT though.
Gomez
You are correct. The infomation is in the 3.5 book Faiths & Pantheon page 100 mentions that while in mortal form Lliira took her as a lover during the Time in Troubles. Her murder at the hands of a local cult of Loviatar had Lliira create the millitant orderr the Scarlet Mummers.
The next question is yours.
Easy question then: Who are the Gemcloaks, and why are they called that way?
(I'm not the only one left on this forum, I hope...)
What City?
Waaah!! I'm no good at novel based questions Waaah!! Mommy, they're not playing fair Waah, Boo Hoo!!We were waiting for him to name the city before granting him the stage...
Pretty much...
What City?
Waterdeep. The City of Splendors by Ed & Elaine....I think it was that novel.
Ah well.
Just to get it complete:
The gemcloaks are a group of young nobles from Waterdeep, comprising of Beldar Roaringhorn, Taeros Hawkwinter, Malark Kothont, Roldo Thongolir, Korvaun Helmfast and Starragar Jerdath.They were named thus because the cloaks they wore were woven from thread that was magically spun from gems (by Naoni Dyre, a simple girl with some talent as a sorcerer).
I guess since absinta was first, he/she can post the next question...
Fine with that, too. Whoever is first! Let's get those questions coming!
The phrase “To See IT and Survive It”, refers to what “must see” wonders of the Realms?

What happened during the year of boiling moats
Unless I am confusing years (doing this from the top of my head):
Bane, Baahl, and Myrkul kill Borem of the Boiling Mud.
(iirc, they pretedned to aid a dragon who ruled the territory that Borem plagued, but really wanted to steal his divine essence)

and you'd be right
Sex?
I was going to reply the same way...but then I remembered I am not twelve ;) Seriously you just beat me to it.
@The_Silversword: Good question...now I have to go though all the books I own that deal with Cormyr.
Sex?
Close, but theres a little more to it than that.
Sex?
Close, but theres a little more to it than that.
Sex and money?
Silver is it time for a little hint? A tiny little hint?
its a woman seeiking a(worde that starts with M And ends wiTh an E)
and that will be the only tip you get from me.
buyt let me tell you the sex coment was pretty much spot on save that it is for the long run and not a one knight stand
She is looking for a MacE!
I did not know women used those for, you know... Medieval thing I gest. The spikes must do wonders.
Or maybe the mace is for clubbering a guy and marrying him while he is unconscious!
So a women with a purple scarf is looking for a husband?
interesting, very interesting.
we'll have to wait for silversword if he will accept that

Aye, close enough. The Cormyr 2e Sourcebook pg36. "Women interested in finding mates wear purple scarves." Its an age-old custom. So while sex definitely plays into it, theyre lookin for a little more. Although it doesnt specificaly say they want to marry either, but I would say that its implied.
Not all women subscribe to this custom, and itsmostly used by women who consider themselves young and adventurous. Lovers also frequently give purple scarves as gifts, as signs of affection.
The floor is yours goldomark
Youre supposed to wait 5 days before answering another question, but since Delta's let it slide, I wont report you to the authorities.
But as for your question I think the first part is Candlekeep, and Im guessing that the second part is the Calendar of Harptos.
And the third part was the Procession of Justice where Tyr burst forth from a Portal and started whoopin ass, he ends up slaying Valigan Thirdborn, a lesser deity of Anarchy.
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Thank you.
I would like to thank my agent; Schlomo Rosenberg, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my mistresses, my cat; Mordecai, Lord Karsus for his divinine inspiration, Corellon, because he helped me discover my body and the boards for all the support.
Of course, ORCs are excluded from these thanks.
Q: Where am I and what am I doing, if I need the sign or seal of a powerful mage to be in that place?
your sitting down suffering the tri fold curse of mystra???
Clue time:
I also need to give a book that is at least worth 10,000 gp.
Oh ho, thats a dead give away! I was thinking that perhaps it had something to do with the Ward keys of Silverymoon, but that last hint is a dead giveaway! UNfortunatly 5 days have not passed since my last question. C'mon people you should know this one!!!!
The answer is: get into Candlekeep on Sword Coast.
Q: What would you have to fear if you were a male priest of Lloth?
Q: What would you have to fear if you were a male priest of Lloth?
Everyone?
That, and reaching 8th level, when life really becomes tricky (Lolth rarely allows male priests to level above 7th, at least in 2nd ed).
Probably not the answer you were looking for, but still truth.
Easy question then:
Who trained the Shadowsil?
Gomez
For some details:
Elminster took the Shadowsil as an apprentice, when she was known as Lassandra.
She later turned to evil, and under the name Symgharyl Maruel became a lover to Manshoon and member of the Cult of the Dragon.
Her death may make an interesting question, so I'll save it for later ;)
Gomez
See, I said it was easy!

Anyway. Question.
Name the three Great Treasures of Evermeet?
Q: Uhm... I'm busy at the moment. Question later.
Tahlshara, Crown of the Sun, Chalice of Labelas.
Q: Uhm... I'm busy at the moment. Question later.
You are correct...but next time follow the rules. You have to wait 5 days before answearing another question.
I have a question, can whe change the rules to must wait 5 questions instead of 5 days??
No we cant! Well I mean I guess we could but 5 days is more universal, I mean 5 days is always 5 days. Some of the questions on here take awhile to get answered, some going for almost a week. So while 5 days is 5 days, 5 questions could be any where from 1 day to 5 weeks or more, depending on how quickly the questions are answered. Id rather stick with 5 days, that does give other people a chance to answer the questions, all in all I think its a good rule.
Why is the Forgotten Realms called the Forgotten Realms any way?
Gomez
I dont know if we have enough participants to have to wait for 5 questions...
Gomez
Well it's really starting to pick up I think. Not just in the Trivia thread, but the forums in general. Used to be Id get on here and there was maybe 3 new comments total at best, but here latly, ive been getting a little overwhelmed, theres almost too many conversations going on, and im having a little trouble catching up.
But anyway, why is it called the Forgotten Realms?
becuase Ed said taht long ago we had portals to that world and thus forgotten them, as such they are the forgotten realms.
You got it, the floor is yours my friend.

If you think you know the answear...yet by rules can't answear it you can PM me the answear and I'll tell you if you are right or not.
Question: What does 'Braeunk vhos trolh!' means? And how and by who is used?
Braeunk vhos trolkh is a saying of hobgoblins that translates loosely as "If you die when I'm gone, do it quietly." The implication is that the hobgoblin saying this wouldn't want to miss the "fun" of hearing or seeing your (another hobgoblin or goblin's) death happen. - Cyclopedia of the Realms
New question:
You've just treated an old dwarf to a beer, and after gulping it down he says, "oy, that was pure throatslake, that was." What does he mean, and did he enjoy it?
After much 'faffing and farting about' I have found an official source on the D&D insider page. it means:
Unpleasant, but otherwise healthy and thirst-quenching drink.
next question:
The symbol of Lathander is etched on the cover of which book?
After much 'faffing and farting about' I have found an official source on the D&D insider page. it means:
Unpleasant, but otherwise healthy and thirst-quenching drink.
Heh, you got it right! ... but you didn't say if the dwarf really liked it...
For those who are curious:
"Well, it's throatslake {meaning that it's drinkable}, but I’ll take it - at not more than a copper a bottle". - Power of Faerun, p66. So the dwarf would take it, but he wouldn't be thrilled. It's like when we get bad beer in a bar, we might say, "geez, that's seriously watered-down." In Faerunian cities of the west, many "throatslakes" are drinkable additives to liqueurs, in order to make "fortified" or mixed drinks. Or they can just be bad, watery beer or seriously watered down alcohol.
Anyways, back to ukplayerx's question!
yes lets, and for the record, I didn't know that.
Well of course not, you threadcrapped all over your book!

Unpleasant, but otherwise healthy and thirst-quenching drink.
Heh, you got it right! ... but you didn't say if the dwarf really liked it...
oops...my bad!
Here goes. The answer lies in an adventure, not a regional/'re-useable' sourcebook...
;)
this is a guess, as I cant see the image of the cover box art to see..... but it does have a dragonlike creature in it.
Four from cormyr
this is a guess, as I cant see the image of the cover box art to see..... but it does have a dragonlike creature in it.
It does have a winged creature on it, but its not from 2000, however Pool of Radiance Attack on Myth Drannor is from 2000, and has a winged creature on the cover, I dont have many of the adventures but those are both ones that I do have. After flipping through the Myth Drannor adventure, I found it!
The Testament of Jade, its a leather-bound book with pages 1 foot square, its fine green leather cover encrusted with small pieces of jade. On the front cover is an etched symbol of Lathander, and a green silk bookmark is sewn into the spine. The book emanates a very faint glow and is in excellent shape, as if it were just recently bound. The book was the testimonial book for one Dennison the Jade, a cleric of Lathander who inhabited Myth Drannor in the years just before the fall of the city.-pg 79
Next question: What is the Dark Moon Heresy?
isnt that the heresy that was saying that Selune and Shar were the same deity??
Aye, thatd be the one. And a quick response, I really need to come up with tougher questions.
My source was the Power of Faerun pg 47, theres also a list of other Heresies of note, and the book is just chockfull of Realmslore, highly recomended.
But any way, the floor is yours sf.
iirc
Cyric and Bhaal? (just a guess, but an obvious one)
Aye, you got it, 4e FRCG pg 158. Im sure it was mentioned in earlier sources too, but the 4e one is right here in front of me.
Well done Ss!! Give yourself a Gold Star to put on your Merit Chart :D
Rock Rock on!!!!
Question: what faiths are common in Eryndlyn?
Eryndlyn is a drow city. The faiths are 'openly divided between Lolth, Vhaeraun and Ghaunaduar' Underdark Sourcebook (FRCS 3E) pg 148.
Next Question:
How much can The Heart of The Jungle be sold for if unbroken?
If shattered, its fragments can be sold for 15,000 gp.
(Jungles of Chult, p 63).
new Question:
What is the function of the Golden Ball?
The Golden Ball can be found in a 2nd ed accessory.
oh yes - we all LOVE obvious hintsYou can find the answer in the previous edition downloads...;)
Oh yeah sure, NOW you tell me!
The Golden Ball is a ship moored on the river in the city of Raven's Bluff. It is used as a prison and houses common murderers, rapists, muggers, arsonists, and highwaymen.
City of Raven's Bluff pg 73
Next question: What is Braskh?

Forgotten Realms horseradish. Popular in sakr.
Mock you are correct...
Good job Mock! the floor is yours.
Since I blew it someone else toss up a question!
The city of Balic is known primarily for what two foods?
Yup, Balic is on Athas. This is a the Forgotten Realms trivia challenge.
for real!? No wonder I couldnt find any info on Balic in any of my Realms stuff!
Oops. Thought I was in the other trivia thread!
Since I blew it someone else toss up a question!
Who am I if I do not talk but you can smell my feelings?
OOH OOH I know this one! Stupid 5 day waiting rule!
Who am I if I do not talk but you can smell my feelings?
Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, because of the speech thing... but here goes:
Saurials of the Lost Vale? Dragonbait is one of their number. He eventually learned to speak common, though, and the majority speak Draconic at a very high pitch. They emit various scents to express emotions.
More info HERE.
DAMN IT!!!
Sorry? I guess this means I was right?
..you also get to ask the next question!
Sweet! Alrighty, let's see...
There is a very old legend that certain spellcasters in the east possessed dark magic that could literally drain a person's life, adding those stolen years to their own. Yet they were not vampires.
1) Who were they?
- and -
2) Is there any truth to this legend?

Lawyers! They are lawyers.
And, Yes, there is truth to the legend!
Lawyers! They are lawyers.
And, Yes, there is truth to the legend!
LOL, not quite what I was looking for... try again.
Clue #1: you're much more likely to find them in the east.
how far east? oh..... I think
Pennaggolan
the alhoon??? undead, not vampire.
how far east? oh..... I think
Pennaggolan
Nope, the spellcasters I'm referring to are NOT undead of any kind.
They're not undead.
Clue #1: you're much more likely to find them in the east.
I beg to differ. I think that lawyers are most definitely undead.
Life-Stealers?
No, life-stealer warlocks are not specific to the East, and although they can "sap the animus" of a creature their magic doesn't steal their years and add them to their own. Good try, though!
Time for another clue!
Clue #2: One might learn this life-stealing magic from an old tome: one handwidth wide, three handwidths tall, one finger thick. It is bound in the silky fur of a ki-rin, and the pages are of specially-treated silk.
its in a KAratur book?? which none of which I have, or am I to far east
if it can't be answered by clue 3, maybe you should just tell us and ask another question.
its in a KAratur book?? which none of which I have, or am I to far east
Kara Tur would indeed be a good place to look.
and I dunno
The Runes of Norzahk contains the Year Stealing spell, so yeah I guess the legends are true!
So to answer the question I guess its 1)Wu Jen and 2)Yes the legends are very true, as long as they have a copy of that spell.

Am I right? IM not sure if Wu Jens is specific enough, the book mentions Norzahk had followers, but I couldnt find a name specific to them. I dunno, Steel Fire Dragon may have it right, maybe it was the Iridescent Peacock Society.
Who founded the Dragoneye Dealing Coster?
;)

what was the year Elminster visisted Ed Greenwood
Or do you mean in *our* time measurement? Because then I don't know, though my guess would be 1988.
Gomez
Realms time would be 1357 DR, according to the GHotR (just checked).
I guessed 1988 as that was the release date for Spellfire, but yeah, that would probably be at least a year too late.
Realms time would be 1357 DR, according to the GHotR (just checked).
Both 1988 and 1357 DR would be wrong, actually. 1357 is the date Greenwood published the Gray Box set, at least according to GHotR. The first time they "met" is much earlier. ;)
and you can tell taht to Delta.
just so that you know, i can care less about the 5 day thing.
and you can tell taht to Delta.
just so that you know, i can care less about the 5 day thing.
and you can tell taht to Delta.
If no one answers by tomorrow morning, I'll post my answer. Tomorrow will be day 6 for me. Gotta let others participate too if they want.
The first published article featuring supposedly exchanged information from Elminster is the original "Pages from the Mages," vol 62, pg. 16, in 1982. This would "correspond" to 1352 DR. But it's also important to note that Ed was publishing general Realms-specific articles before this. "Down to Earth Divinity" (1981), in Dragon vol. 54 (pg. 6), for example, lists various gods of the Forgotten Realms... as used in his campaign, not the final version in the 1E gray box. If Elminster was "meeting" with him and supplying Realms information, it's likely they "met" before 1981.
So has Ed ever said when he first "met" Elminster? I'm not certain, but we can say "at least before 1981, or 1351 DR." He has said that Elminster was one of the first characters he created for his Realms, which he dreamed up in 1967 in order to have a setting for his sword and sorcery stories. He didn't pick up D&D until 1975 or so... but perhaps, in a sense, Greenwood "met" Elminster as early as 1967 (or 1337 DR). Which would sorta explain why Elminster is so "elite" (get it? couldn't resist, sorry)...
When (and why) was Maerimydra destroyed? Were there any survivors?
One of my favorite series of books! :D
Maerimydra was destroyed during the War Of The Spider Queen... It was destroyed by Kurgoth's army and the city's archmage, Duneth Wharrei. The single drow house to survive with any assets was House Dhuurniv also A few small bands of Drow refugees fled the sacking of the city.
One of my favorite series of books! :D

I whole heartedly apologise for my lack of concentration regarding the FRTC. It wont happen again!!
Any way, a Spelljammer question in the FR triva page? What are you smokin UK, and can I have some?
As for the answer, I think I know. Do they have six fingers on each hand?
I thought for sure some one would of posted a pic from Avatar!

As for the answer, I think I know. Do they have six fingers on each hand?
LMFAO!! I wish i WAS smokin' something. no what i did was open my Netheril Box Set which also contains the two core Spelljammer sourcebooks. I did a bit of 'bibliomancy' and came up with the question based on the page it opened with!
...and yes, looking at the artwork they do indeed have six digits on each hand.
So they would definitely be the Arcane, the merchants of space, theyre who you go to to get a Spelljamming helm. I think in 3e they renamed them the Mercane, or something like that, Im not sure if theyve made it to 4e?
Ok Next question, definitely a Realms one this time,this is a pre Spellplague one:
Who was usually deceased, thanks to adventurers, among the upper echelon of the Zhentil Keep Network?
the mercane?? where can you find them then?
Well done Ss. Once again I apologise for my blonde moment...I'll make sure my next question is Realms based *shuffles off to move Spelljammer products away from any FRCS sourcebooks*
the mercane?? where can you find them then?
Sigh, im gonna go have to dig out more books! I think the Mercane were in the 3e Manual of the Planes, but id have to double check on that.
Yeah theyre in there, in the monsters section. theyre the Arcane, but only called Mercane, and the focus isnt merchants of space, but merchants of the Planes. But they have 5 digits, but an extra joint on each finger, but looking back at the Spelljammer one, it doesnt say in the discription that they have an extra finger it too says extra joint, I guess the artist just took that to mean they had an extra finger? or the picture they show is of a mutant 12 fingered Arcane.
Yep - Spelljammer LoTV only describes them with an extra joint, not finger..and i'm keeping them as space merchants, just to confuse my players
Figure I would let sFdRaGoN spank him with a wet noodle...
I only wonder, why I was brought into this......
I think I will let you do it instead DElta
Who was usually deceased, thanks to adventurers, among the upper echelon of the Zhentil Keep Network?
This hasnt been answered yet? Ussually my questions dont even last a day.
Very well a clue, its from a classic source.
Helm knows I don't have that book.....
the twelve lords.
Helm knows I don't have that book.....
Helm demands you get that book. And some of the lords of Zhentil Keep might ussually be deceased, but thats not who im thinking of.

What's the Eyeless Mask?
Hint: This can also be found in an old text. A cult classic, as it were.
They appear in Cult of the Dragon, pg 58, as foes of the Cult.
Question:
Where are the Hlarr and the Yhendorn buried, and how can you reach them?
The Eyeless Mask is an organization of the Red Wizards, based in Saerloon. They aim to kill or enslave wizards, priests, and nobles to weaken the heartlands for future invasion by Thay.
They appear in Cult of the Dragon, pg 58, as foes of the Cult.
Question:
Where are the Hlarr and the Yhendorn buried, and how can you reach them?
That would be correct!
Hint 2: The information can be found in one of the downloadable accessories at the WotC site.
I think WotC took them down.

Argh... seems so.
And @ above - I've no further idea.
'The Searing' was described by Ed Greenwood in detail in an online document (an edited version of which I originally planned to use in a LFR adventure, with Ed's approval, but the editors cut it because it was too lengthy. Huh.).
However, the information the question is based on came from an accessory that Ed wrote that references the event.
They are buried in Hunters' Down and can be reached by diving in a pool, theres a hole in the limestone walls that leads into the tomb, it is magically shielded to keep the water out but living things can pass freely either way. The Baelnorn often trade magic items, healing, or recharching spent magical items for news on the out side world.

Fortunatly I already had them all downloaded and backedup, however I could not find it in the source I thought it would be in. Cormanthyr seemed like the logical place to look, perhaps the fall of Myth Drannor? Im having trouble remembering which ones were available has free downloads.
If you know where to look they're ALL free downloads - every sourcebook, adventure and setting...

Question: Who was the first Suzerain of Thesk?
Hint #1: The creature is not in the Monster of Faerun sourcebook.
That's not actually a hint, yaknow :P
Anyway, 5 days wait is over, so:

New Question?
New Answer...LOL
next question:
New Question: What was the name of the demon disguised as a halfing that was part of the group that created the sentient simulcrum Alias?
Oh jeeze, its been so long since ive read those, uhmmm
I think it was Phast or something like that?
I no longer have any of those novels, but I do still have the CUrse of the Azure Bonds Adventure, and I believe the answer is Phalse, is that right? or was that the name the Demon used as an alias?
The Tel'TeuKiira splintered off from what other group?
for bonus points list the group that that group used to be a part of.
Khelben
danilo thann
The Harpers
Khelben
danilo thann
Aye it was indeed the Harpers.
However you didnt earn any bonus points. The group that the Harpers used to be a part of is the Heralds.
The Floor is yours
what was the name/ professional name of the female rogue that Entreri killed in the city that was once known as Illusk.
Ima'gonna Kick'ya'ass?
no that was the one he killed in Calimshan, didn't you get the memo?
don't read drizzt books do you
Hint please.
;)
Whisper, a rogue living in Luskan. In Streams of Silver pg. 38-39. Is that right?
you are correct, I'm surprised nobody got the Hushed Tone hint.
anyway, the floor is yours.
Dendybar the Mottled was killed by the spirit of Morkai the Red who he manipulated Kessel to kill into killing in the Crystal Shard. Morkai used (by somehow possesing) Bok Dendybar's own golem..at the end of Streams of Silver.
Should I ask a question?
I ask my question...if it is proven I am wrong I'll edit this post...it is a multipart question.
What was the name of the adventuring company that Shandril joined first?
What role did she assume within the group...and how did she prove herself in that role?
Company of the Bright Spear
thief
and escaping by use if magical device
you are not all clear on that second part
you are right,
Company of the Bright Spear
thief
and escaping by use if magical device
you are not all clear on that second part
You are right in the first part...I'll try to make it clearer...
She did something to prove to them that she was in fact a thief...I mean normaly adventured don't just recruit inn staff...what did she do?
Hint...I know some adventurers would have killed her in reaction too what she did.

Sigh I should not ask two pareters anymore...it derails things I think...so I'll give it to sfdragon...
the answear to the second part was that she used the inn's master key to go into their rooms and stole things...just as they were discovering they stuff was stolen she knocked on their door and gaved them back theirt stuff and said,"So I hear you are looking for a thief." The party rogue was killed in the bar due to stealing from the wrong person.
what was the name of the Paladinson's sword
Gomeztoo, the floor is yours
my 2e booka I'll dig out later and give the answer.
Gomeztoo, the floor is yours
What? but he didnt even answer it, theres rules here man.
and if i answer my own question, then the rulkes clearly don't state anything.
which reminds me I have to goo look, I can swear it had a name....
hrll titan's bane doesn't even show up on the wiki
What were Ibrandul's two most favored forms?
Hey Gomez you are like the only person that PM's me the answer on a regular basis...;)
Hey I always PM you the answear
Hey Gomez you are like the only person that PM's me the answer on a regular basis...;)
Hey I always PM you the answear
I always do as well, unless I know Delta already knows the answer, or if I forget, but other than that I always PM the answer!
And bad sfdragon, giving the answer away like that, I still had a few more sourcebooks to check! Youre question only went like 4 days without an answer, thats pretty good I thought. I thought that was the point of the game, to stump everyone else. I think Delta should come up with a new rule or something, like after a week or something and it hasnt been answered yet, then give out the answer, and whoevers question it was gets a cookie or something!
And as for gomez's question, I dont know the answer offhand but I think i know where to look!
The Stalker, a monstrous lizard of the depths that looks like a fire lizard with a long, thick tail. And the Skulker, a humanoid of black and gray stone worn smooth as if long exposed to the eroding force of howling winds.
Next question:
What do the runes in the original Forgotten Realms logo mean?
OK scratch that question, I was thinking that those were Dethek runes and anybody could translate them, but after looking at it very carefully I now see that they are not, I dont believe that there was ever a canon answer to that question in an official canon source, so that question, by the rules is not allowed, but for any one interested, the answer is "Herein lie the lost lands".
Ok for the real question, How does one get into the World Serpent Inn?
Volo's Guide to Cormyr pg. 9 gives the method in a footnote as "By knocking in front of the Wild Goose on an imaginary door beneath the signboard and then uttering the name of any deity of Faerun. (Elminster didn't strike out this footnote. He just sighed and said, "Ah, well, there goes the neighborhood!" Then he grinned, very slowly.)"
Question: What does the village of Feather Falls lack that one would normally expect to find in a village?
I could be a real **** and say thats not the right answer. You also have to include the word "enter", such as By Corellon's Unseen Beard, I enter. But close enough. That part is on page 71 of the aforementioned Volo's Guide to Cormyr

A tavern?
Well ok, let's see.
Why is it illegal to harm or kill a cat in Cormyr?
Wow, I got one right? I just took a guess at it.
Well ok, let's see.
Why is it illegal to harm or kill a cat in Cormyr?
Cause theyre warm & fuzzy?
or if you want prefer, becuase the crown said so.
Cats are the eyes and messangers of the gods.
Cormyr pg 36
Next question, where would you most likely find Ninjas in the Realms?
Ninjas can be found hanging out at 'The Scaleable Wall' inn. It has an activity castle in the beer garden with walls, ditches, straw dummies, practise weapons and rope bridges etc so they can practise in a more relaxed atmosphere.
I expected someone to say Kara-Tur, or the Island of Wa or something, so then I could say wrong! You dont find Ninjas, they find you! But you are probably right, they could be found at the Scaleable Wall, or any place with an activity castle and/or beer garden, so go ahead, the floor is yours.
Kupuk eggs are required for what?
Hint Time: Be careful out there, it's cold/freezing...
Hint #2: Be careful out there, it's cold/freezing....and it's Great...
"Though kupuk eggs are not, in fact, made of gold or any other precious metal, egg fragments are highly prized by collectors in lands south of the Great Glacier, fetching as much as 500 gp each."
Do I win?
Question: Which islands are east of Ruathym?
QuestIon: Who was the leader of the School of the Shadow Weave?
From the 4th ed FR map: the islands east of Ryathym are called the Whalebones.
Correct. Man, I need to think of a trickier one next time!
The actual answer I was looking for was: To cure Jervin Wesselitt of a rare strain of fever plague, The Great Glacier, pgs 79-80
Sorry
Hint #2: the 'school' is run by drow.
But any way, the Shadow Weave was a 3e invention, and drow you say? I think I know where to look! I'll be back!
OK, was it Nurissa Vyllshan?
You are correct...
What would one use the herb Cassil for?
Installing a new Player Character?
You can laugh, but those supposed heroes put up quite a struggle as you shove them in the Wall of the Faithless.
All this shouting of "I'm epic, you can't do that to me!". Heh. Never had that kind of nonsense in MY days, I can tell you. No sirree, when I was still young, we didn't have...
* gets clubbed over the head, blissful silence ensues *
Narrator commences:
Yes, Nurissa Vyllshan is the head of the School of the Shadow Weave.
Note the present tense - Nurissa still survives and is now head of what is referred to as the 'School of Darkness' by ignorant outsiders.

HAHAHAHAHA! Indeed, most amusing.
*wonders why gomez doesnt post more often in the Spam group*
I was also interested to know that Nurissa Vyllshan is still around and running the school in 4e. Is that in the FRCG? I must of missed that one.
But any way back to the Trivia:
Cassil is a small shrub similar to a mustard plant. Its seeds are ground into a fine, tasteless powder...
and used for what?
*wonders why gomez doesnt post more often in the Spam group*
Time, boy. Us old geeezers ain't as quick as we used to be.
I was also interested to know that Nurissa Vyllshan is still around and running the school in 4e. Is that in the FRCG?
No, it is in LFR. Sshamath is not mentioned in the FRCG. Nurissa and some of her fellows appear in CORE2-1 Killing the Messenger and CORE2-8 Enemy of My Enemy. (CORE2-1 is considered canon, not sure of CORE2-8).
Sshamath is below the Elturgard region, and as such has my attention as soon as I am done with Sschlindyryn...
Gomez
Gimme a few mins for a question...
EDIT: 35 minutes later...Where will you find Isstosseffifil?
Cassil is a herb used for birth control. FRCS 3E pg 96 :D
Gimme a few mins for a question...
EDIT: 35 minutes later...Where will you find Isstosseffifil?
Wrong! Do it again!
OK youre right, but you need to be a little more specific next time, it only works on men, you could get someone into trouble just giving half the information like that!!
It's been 2 days, clue time: this one's from a 3E sourcebook not an adventure
(Obvious) Hint #2: The book has got a great, big, nasty, green, scaly, armed, snake man thingy on the cover!!!
(Obvious) Hint #2: The book has got a great, big, nasty, green, scaly, armed, snake man thingy on the cover!!!
That does kinda narrow it down! But im not sure where you would find it being that it was an ancient Sarrukh empire, youd need a time portal or something to find it! But it existed in what is now Netheril, or was once the Anauroch desert. All that remains of it is the buried city of Oreme.
-Seperent Kingdoms pg 95
close enough?
Yep S_s!! Well done. The floor is yours...
Kool! I guess that means I need to come up with a question then.
An easy one:
What name did Elminster go by back in the day when he was a woman?
Question: What year was Osiris resurrected by Isis?
Yep S_s!! Well done. The floor is yours...
What name did Elminster go by back in the day when he was a woman?
Ma'am.
Easy answer: Elmara
Question: What year was Osiris resurrected by Isis?
I just knew that someone else had read Making of a Mage!
And im surprised no ones answered this question yet!!
And im surprised that my 4 day waiting period was over and I didnt even notice!!!
The answer is 1056 by the Mulhorandi calendar, or -1048 Dale Reckoning.
A sorta related 3-part question.
In what year did the first known deicide occur in the Realms, which god was killed, and who did the killing?
I just knew that someone else had read Making of a Mage!
One of my favorite novels!
-1071 DR, Re was killed by Gruumsh?
Um...

so...when do we get another question?
never
so...when do we get another question?
Well Zireael answered the last question... And I sent her a PM saying to ask a new question. Its Delta's thread, maybe he'll make a rule that if someone doesnt post a new question within a certain timelimit then he'll post one or something?
And I refered to Zireael as a her, but for all I know hes a dude, but its the drow chick avatar, Ive always thought of Zireael as a woman, I could be wrong though. Please dont tell me if I am wrong Zireael, just let me live with my fantasies!

Whose this Drizzt character everyone keeps harping on about? Never heard of 'em!! ;)
Where, and in what time period, does Elminster visit on Earth for some quiet time?
And IM sorry for the lack of interest, I just didnt want to post until they fix my name! The Silvers? WTF Is a The Silvers? Ive never really had a problem with these forums before, but this is really starting to **** me off!! Im seriously considering making a new, shorter forum account.
you might just have to name it Silversword.....
Well lets see, 1234567891011 1234567891011, yeah that would fit! If they dont fix it soon Im gonna have to do that, people are already calling me Silvers now! Ugh!! I shouldnt of said that, now that people know i hate it theyll call me that anyway!! Better than Swordboy I suppose!
But any way, did I get the answer right? Close? Lego Elminster where are you!?

Ha! Specific trumps general in this trivia contest.
Here is an easy one: What is Waukeen’s quarter called in The Marketplace Eternal?
what he meant to ask was What is WAukeen's quarter called in Brightwater.
which is The MArketplace eternal
not that good of a question.
so toast, ask again or yield it to Delta.
Ha! Specific trumps general in this trivia contest.Here is an easy one: What is Waukeen’s quarter called in The Marketplace Eternal?
I thought Waukeen's quarter was called the House of Barter, or the Home of Barter. Is that right?
From Planescape, and located in the Concordant Opposition, yes?

He forfeits for answering his own question.

I had it worded correctly the first time.
My first clue would have been, “Before the Year of Bluefire.” Followed by, “shared with other planar deities of wealth.”
The question was designed to trick most search engines.
Jorunhast is up for the next question.

Woot! Okay, let's see...
This is one of the busiest roadhouses in western Faerun, known for its excellent taproom and seedy clientele far more than the ramshackle rooms made available out back (which are really just converted stables). It has a truly fine selection of wines, ales, and other alcoholic beverages, but you'll never see nobles here unless they are in disguise. Pirates, adventurers, outlaws, humanoids, half-breed monsters, and other monstrosities all come night after night to pack the taproom full.
What's the name of this bar / Inn, and where is it located?

Time for a hint, I s'pose:
After visiting Larloch, you could easily stop here right afterwards.
the blushing mermaid in baldur's gate???
No, wrong city and tavern. Good guess, though.
*goes off to look at maps*
The Way Inn, thats it! Right!? I knew there was a pun in there some where.
I also just realized that part of the question was giving the location. Its on the Trade Way to Waterdeep, north of the Trollbark forest, and west of the Misty Forest, close enough?
I know this! I just cant think of it at the moment! I keep wanting to say the Come Back Inn, but that was from Blackmoor, uhm, I know this I do!!

a Hint, the capital city was razed
Myth Glaurach, maybe?
In days long past, before the human empires and city states. what was the name of the empire that held the grounds of sword coast, and what sepiceis called it home, and the what was it's capital's name.
Well, this could be either:
Illefarn (which was later annexed by Aryvandaar), an ancient realm of the elves-dwarves, and Aelinthaldaar was the capital that was "razed" around -1100 or so by High Elf magic (destroying a city that had existed for around 7000 years or so).
-or-
If you go back even further, the Sarrukh had established the realm of Isstosseffifil (circa -34500), which was part of their immesely huge empire of Okoth. Oreme was the capital of Isstosseffifil, and one might say that it was "razed" by the massive ecological damage resulting from their battles with the Phaerimm. Although the phaerimm were driven deep into the underdark, the damage to their own realm was massive and led to its demise.
The tricky issue to your question is the part where you say "before the human empires and city states." Netheril was of course in its prime when Aelinthaldaar was razed, and both Mulhorand and Jhaamdath were quite active as well. If you meant a time when humans didn't have any empires or city states, then the answer is Oreme of Okoth-Isstosseffifil.
But I imagine that you probably meant "before any human kindgom ruled the Sword Coast area" and you're thinking of Aelinthaldaar of Illefarn-Aryvandaar.
An old Blue Dragon was trapped in the ruins of Undermountain such that she couldn't escape. Who trapped her there, and what's the dragon's name?
Halaster Blackcloak trapped Araugauthos/The Bluetalon (Dragons of Faerun)..didn't she eventually escape?
You got it! And yep, she did eventually escape. You're up!
EDIT: Ok here goes: Which two realms are 'reflections' of Toril?
The FEywild and the shadowfell..... but that mind you is one way of reading into what they wrote....
onn the otherhand I always took it that they mirrored the geography and not the landscape( ie you might have a forest in one and the other have mountains in the same spot.....)
and Abeir also mirrors Toril.

Anywho - From the 2E Lands of Intrigue Box set, Book one Tethyr, page 31:
While Mhoaran gained his crown by might, he needed to keep it by guile. Through the plots and machinations of his nobles, the king lost three wives and more than two score children
before he could raise an heir to adulthood. Even secreting the infants from their births to safe houses did not protect them from the nobles assassins. After a shipboard assassination failed to rid Tethyr of Mhoaran, the king was reunited with his son, Nearel, who had been raised in secret in a fishing village along the Dragons Neck Peninsula. Nearel, age 14, summoned a pack of sea lions with a magical horn, and the lions devoured the pursuing assassins. Ever since that day, the coat of arms of Tethyr and the royal seals have been supported by sea lions.
