I figured we could use a more lighthearted thread up in here, instead of all the usual serious Realmslore. Basically im just ripping off Jeff Foxworthy's You might be a redneck if...
but only Realms related, could be fun right?

I'll start

You might be in the Realms...

When you go down to the local temple to pray to your god/goddess, only to find out that they've died!, again!!!

You might be in the Realms if a Chosen of Mystra steals your kill... again.

(this one is dedicated to all the Chosen haters, may you find peace one day)



Damnit! I was just about to post that! Well I was gonna word it a little differently,

Youre just about to save the world when a crazed ol sheepherder takes your kill and takes all the credit, and all the women!

it amounts to the same thing though.
