Talk:Freedale

Can anyone confirm that this place is canon? I cannot find it in any FR publication. The only reference is the Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons which may have invented the place. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 17:54, February 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * I remember looking this up a while ago... I cannot even find a copy of the Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons... - Darkwynters (talk) 04:28, February 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Freedale is not part of the Realms. It doesn't exist in Faerun outside of Intro to AD&D. If I remember right, the authors took names that meant something in the Realms but something completely different in the adventure (naming the adventure site the 'Dungeon of Damara', naming the wizard BBEG 'Netheril') then chucked in a temple of Lathander and included a map of Shadowdale. It's as if they had a brief to make it a Forgotten Realms product (I think it was part of the FOR series) but didn't actually know anything about the setting, then just published it anyway. -hashtalk 10:00, February 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * It sounds awful, but if it's in the Realms or under a Realms banner, then it's in the wiki. We accepted licensed and tangential lore in addition to canon stuff. With a note on the dubious canonicity, it should be fine to include, alongside crap like The Great Khan Game. And let it be a cautionary tale to all. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:19, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

As per the forum topic on Twitter citations, I'm not sure whether this should be added to the page itself, but I asked Ed about this town and got an answer. — Look-a-troopa (talk) 22:36, January 25, 2020 (UTC)
