I have been a fan of the Realms since I was a child playing Neverwinter Nights. Even to this day I feel like a novice but I am reading more and more, acquiring the ancient texts of 2e and 3e to fill in the many blanks left by 5e, and even am a member on Ed's patreon. Always happy to see these videos as they come out! And am definitely going to need to read more on Larloch if he's a greater threat than Vecna... whose most recent godly antics feature in the Eve of Ruin book.

I've got a question, what do you think of a kirin that's lost its divinity and is more of a dragon creature? I'm kinda new to dnd but I love the idea of a world with more dragons as the main monster encounters. I want to make a stat block and history of a kirin but a part of the dragon species

Not related to this video, but what type of creature is a horlagh - referenced in Ed's The Five Shires Gazeteer p. 24?

I am interested to know if a player character was to try and marry their way into house Cyl (Maybe even willing to serve the Mind Flayers or completely oblivious to them to begin with). What possible outcome this could have on them both negative and positive

Having a non-drow follower would definitely make for a memorable NPC. I could see writing in something like a highly duplicitous character who misleads the party in the Underdark.

Ok wait. Dungeons and Dragons and TTRPGs in general are arguably at the height of their popularity and injection into pop culture in a positive light, and here I am, finding out that ED FUCKING GREENWOOD only has 59k followers?! Id argue that Gary Gygax built the foundation uppn which Ed Greenwood and Jeff Grubb built probably the greatest fantasy RP world ever. I mean, EVERYONE knows Faerun, EVERYONE knows Baldur's Gate, EVERYONE knows Waterdeep. How many newbies know Oerth, or Flanaess, or Blackmoor? For most players under 30, Greenwood's world IS D&D. You deserve better.
@Akeche19 сағат бұрын
If Gygax were still alive and had a youtube channel, it'd probably be the same deal. Sadly people don't care about those who trailblazed the industry, or at the very least you are labeled all sorts of things if you find it important.

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment, as it’s been many hours since this video was posted, and it’s Christmas. However I just want to thank you, the OG and early creators of D&D. I’ve had many, many years of enjoyment with both the game, and books.

Thank you Ed for another great lore video! Following the topic of tentacles in Neverwinter, could you please explain to us what happened with Abolethic Sovereignty and Hex Locus in current times? Is Soman Galt still controlled by aboleths? My players are heading to Neverwinter now, so I could use this knowledge on next session :D.

Well, that’s definitely something to keep in my back pocket for my players if I ever have them go to Neverwinter. Intriguing lore as always! One thing that I would like to learn about is this: Murghôm today. From the various towns, culture, and (most definitely) their rulers, the dragon princes. I’ve been wanting to run a dragon-centric campaign for a while, and this seems like the perfect setting. Have a very Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Ed! A quick question (for the sake of integrating this into a campaign): Are the Cyl Mindflayers controlled in turn by an Elder Brain or are they of the renegate persuasion? (In effect asking how deep in sh*t will my players get into if they intervene)

Out of curiosity, what would you say is the closest equivalent Faerun has to Christmas?
@Rhoxmaster31618 сағат бұрын
that would probably be the Feast of the Moon. a festival at the end of The Rotting (also known as Uktar; the eleventh month of the calendar of Harptos) it is probably more similar to the feast of winter solstice in real world paeganism, and celebrates the passing of the autumn and the start of the winter in faerun. Its commonly celebrated by a big family gathering and a large dinner. No presents or Santa, but at least the timing and general vibes line up.

Ok, so I've been wondering, with as many changes to the holder of the portfolio of God of Magic back and forth, and the Spellplague, and AAAAALLLLLL the crazy intraplanar back and forth, and Aebir/Toril intermingling going on, are the restrictive results of Karsus' Folly still in effect, or is there a new possibility of someone casting something like Karsus Avatar or Shatter Sphere again?
