Template:DidYouKnow

The DidYouKnow template is for showing trivia from newly created articles in the "Did you know..." section of the Main Page. It's not automatically or randomly updated, but purely manually operated. A user must add and move information by hand on a regular basis.

Please follow these instructions when adding new trivia:
 * 1) Pick the trivia from a recently created in-universe article. This article should be well written and properly cited, not copied from a source, and demonstrate a good wiki style. Please don't pick major spoilers as trivia. Also try to pick a wide variety of topics from a number of users, rather than from a recent batch on the same topic from the same editor.
 * 2) Phrase the trivia as a question in the form "Did you know that...?". Please begin the line with "...that", write in past tense, and end it with a question mark, "?". Bold the link to the new article, and leave other links unbolded.
 * 3) Update the trivia list once a week or once every two weeks as necessary. Alternatively, add a new entry to the top of the list, and remove the last entry in the list. Please keep the list at around five or six entries, depending on the number of new recent articles and the number needed to provide a good representation of recent work.
 * 4) Edit the Archive to include the new entries, and ensure that the old entries are present.

The current trivia are:
 * ...that Kabril Ali al-Sara al-Zalazil was the shrewd and open-minded Great Khan of the dao on the Elemental Plane of Earth?
 * ...that a quth-maren was a frightful undead creature formed from the flayed corpses of rival clerics by priestesses of Kiaransalee?
 * ...that stonefire was widely used to burn stone buildings and webs in the drow cities of Menzoberranzan and Ched Nasad?
 * ...that Seldra Tylmarande attempted to claim the throne of Neverwinter by pretending to be its "Lost Heir"?
 * ...that Rise of the King is the second book of the Companions Codex series by R.A. Salvatore?
 * ...that the Year of the Cowled Defender, 189 DR, the mighty berserker Bregg the Strong led a bloody revolt against the Witches of Rashemen?
 * ...that, on Flamerule 22, worshipers of Tyr perform the ritual of the Blinding in honor of the Maimed God?
