Talk:Twig blight

Are these really in the Realms? Twig blights, Gulthias, and Nightfang Spire originated in the 3rd-edition modules "The Sunless Citadel" and others, set in the Core/Greyhawk-lite setting. Neither the 5e MM or the 3.0 MM2 link them to the Realms. Anyway, I've removed the links to Gulthias and Nightfang Spire. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:45, October 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thus far in 5e, their main appearance is in Curse of Strahd, which is only arguably a Realms source (two out of four adventure hooks supplied in the module are set in the Realms). This has been discussed at Talk:Curse of Strahd.
 * Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms adapts Curse of Strahd as part of their "Grand Tour of the Realms" campaign. Twig blights are fought both as the characters are "lost in the mists" prior to entering Barovia proper, and in Barovia itself.
 * The Sunless Citadel is also adapted for 5e through Tales from the Yawning Portal. The conceit of Yawning Portal is that tavern regulars regale each other with tales of adventure, often from faraway lands. So even if Sunless isn't set in the Realms, it is a tale that is known to (at least a few) Realms inhabitants. The conceit is further detailed in Dragon+ #13, which also includes Realms mentions of twig blights, Gulthias trees, and Gulthias himself (link).
 * All in all, these are three sources that aren't explicitly Realmsian in nature, but all three supply some connection to the Realms, even if it's in the nature of stories told, or through Realmsian inhabitants crossing over into Ravenloft. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 14:26, October 29, 2018 (UTC)
