 * It's the Year of Maps! We'll explore more of the Realms (beyond the Sword Coast!) and put some places on the map. Watch the wiki and explore from home.
 * The Eberron Wiki has a new look, new features, and new life (though it might be a bit familiar…) If Eberron's your world (we won't judge), head on over and get involved.
 * Hashimashadoo walked among the kuo-toa in Sloopdilmonpolop, the City of Pools; pieced together the story of Varalla, the Lich Queen of Darkhold; and ventured near the fortress of Dun-Tharos, but turned back from the demons and rot.
 * SunderedShor trekked up Mount Drakkor Rouge, staying overnight in Volkumburgh; the folk were friendly but not forthcoming when questioned. Crossing a salt marsh, he evaded giant leeches and swamp sharks and reached the Temple of the Dragon Oracle. But his real goal was the pieces of the stone golem Awtawmatawn, and he had a scarab versus golems in case it wasn't so broken.
 * BadCatMan sailed south to the Kuong Kingdom. After paying the wrong bribes to the wrong priests in Denokanburi, he escaped upriver to Patayang and ventured into the jungle on a quest to find carnivorous apes and distinguish them from dire apes: one's carnivorous, the other just dire—a subtle distinction, but not a meaningful one when they both chase you out of their territory.
 * After a long exile, Perikleskwaxulu was discovered by Shaarans, wandering the ruins of Peleveria and muttering of devils. Welcome back!
 * We also welcome ScubbaBvk, who met Harthulk Hornspear, chief of the Uthgardt Thunderbeast tribe, while lost in the Lurkwood.

19/03/2021

 * Like Candlekeep, we're hitting the books: Artie is reading The Ring of Winter, BadCatMan Murder in Cormyr, SunderedShor The Ogre's Pact, Ruf67 The Parched Sea, and Reesorville the whole Watercourse trilogy. Look out for more novels lore on the wiki, and read and add your own.
 * Ruf crossed the Anauroch desert, where he got baked in At'ar's Looking Glass and looked for a friend in the Bowl of Loneliness. He found some, too, among Bedine tribes like the Mtair Dhafir and Qahtan, who took him to the sacred Elah'zad oasis for a meeting.
 * Still getting the ins-and-outs in Innarlith, Reesorville took a tour of the Firesteap Citadel, met folk from the woodcutter Dharmun to magic-item seller Thadat and his curious garlic, and became tangled in intrigues involving senators Asheru and Horemkensi.
 * Possessed Priest went back in time to Netheril, visiting Algid and the lost Allegro and Mere Rivers. His aim: to get the signatures of lesser-known archwizards, like Lady Arilain, Shadelorn, Shenandra, and Falious for his collection.
 * Unknown user 11 went down to Undermountain and heard the marid Ichthyglug the Voluminous sing about how it's better down where it's wetter. Next came an interview with a vampire, Keresta Delvingstone, and her charmed thrall Portia Dzuth.
 * We welcome Malte Martin, who went up Umbrage Hill and learned the source of the umbrage from Adabra Gwynn, the midwife and apothecary who lived in a windmill atop it.

1/04/2021

 * New Clacks! Through diligent study of dusty Dragon magazines, we're proud to announce we've uncovered a fresh load of Realmslore, hinting at a heretofore forgotten realm of the Forgotten Realms. Expect to learn more in the coming weeks, but for now hear from the great sage Elkwhisker of the notorious Nimrod of Nump and learn of such magics as Drawmij's instant death, feign invisibility, and magic summons, as well as the robe of blending and a food found on the planes.
 * Oh, these are from April Fool's issues of Dragon magazine. Never mind then.

3/05/2021

 * We got movie sign! The Dungeons & Dragons movie has started filming in Ireland and Iceland and has more actors, but no confirmed story or setting yet. Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, that place in Ghostwalk? Watch this space.
 * Speaking of, Moviesign delved into the Fireplace Level on the trail of the Gost family of Waterdeep, but clashed with two vampires: the merfolk cleric Arrick Kaarvol and the medusa Medechai—do not ask how she gets blood from a stone. He probably should've stayed in the Blushing Mermaid.
 * Meanwhile, Regis87 caught and wrangled two shocking creatures into the menageries: a disturbing abyssal wretch and the insidious sheep, as well as a mutant, the red sheep.
 * Speaking of monsters, Vegepygmy documented two kinds of devils, a gulthir and a dogai; had some more to say about kuo-toa; and tried to learn Quevquel to talk with beholders, but only got wet.
 * We welcomed a planes-walking Wandering Kobold, who evaded the tentacles of Adimarchus, the Demon Prince of Madness, and was led by a hound of law to the celestial forge city of Torzak-Belgirn.
 * In addition, we welcomed (and were frankly overwhelmed by) WendolynCK, an orc scholar on a whirlwind tour of the Vilhon Reach. In particular, Wendolyn explored Turmish, stopped by Ulver's Lance, told the history of Turmish, and wrote of its Dempster and Florentine Turmish.
 * We also welcome 2ShadowyT2, who wrote of Sunder Halyndliam of Liam's Hold; Haydoge, who heard the song of Elturel; and a BlindCartographer who got into a stitch 'n bitch with the Sewn Sisters.

22/05/2021

 * We got movie sign! Again! The Dungeons & Dragons movie is confirmed to be set in the Forgotten Realms and a possible précis of the story has been found. New actors are in and location work has started in Northern Ireland. See the above link for all the news, details, and rumors so far, with links to articles and sources to see for yourself.
 * SilverTiger12 explored, and then escaped, a temple to the naga deity Ssharstrune, and was hunted by a ha-naga and its nagahydra, bright naga, and nagatha minions. Afterward, the Tiger went down, down to goblin-town, meeting the mysterious goblins of Grodd and the brutish norkers, before being hunted by a varag.
 * Ir'revrykal sunk his teeth into some new books: the Book of the Raven, Mazfroth's Mighty Digressions, and the so-called The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces. And those teeth? They're the notorious Teeth of Dahlver-Nar. Ouch.
 * Artyom.pavlov is making himself comfortable in the Tethyrian town of Mosstone, but he had to drop the Cynicism first. At the Oak-Father's Boon, Artie stuffed himself silly on olive oil crust pies while documenting other magic items like a scarab of goodwill, The Salamander's Tongue, and The Great Oak, which was left behind by a druid.
 * We welcome the disturbingly named Stabbier, who's documenting the Seven Imaskarcana, and the confusingly named JC10169, who went to the divine realm of Azuth and all they got was a lousy rod of absorption.
