Template:DidYouKnow/current

This page collects current trivia for Template:DidYouKnow. On the first Sunday of the new year, please make sure there are 53 sections of trivia in this page (Every 5 or 6 years we get a year with 53 weeks in it. See ISO week date.) and then copy the 53 sections to  where   are the last two digits of the new year. Then remove them from this page and add the trivia for the first week of the new year. The DidYouKnow template will select additional trivia from a random previous year for the current week. Archives should be named for the year they were created because the template looks for pages in the archive directory that start with "2".

 * Zombie lords were neither especially regal zombies nor the unliving remains of nobles, but rather particularly intelligent and powerful undead created from a raise dead spell gone wrong.
 * Captain Zemmer, a mercenary in the service of Lord Neverember, was the daughter of a Thayan necromancer and had a zombified family dog growing up.
 * An ephemeral hangman was a malevolent aberration formed from pure shadow, a sort of Shadowfell equivalent of a roper except stealthier and arguably nastier.
 * Black Dugal's Music Shoppe in Ravens Bluff was the city's one-stop shop for all manner of musical instruments, all expertly crafted by the proprietor, "Black" Dugal Buchannan.
 * The noble Lanngolyn family of Waterdeep controlled the city's textile industry and once had one of their number kidnapped by the doppelganger syndicate known as the Unseen.
 * Saddles enabled the denizens of Toril to mount all manner of steeds both exotic and mundane, providing a marginally more comfortable experience than riding bareback.
