 * Current Clacks are current again! We've been busy, but we'll be a lot busier as we prepare for the Honor Among Thieves movie and all the new and revisited lore. We've uncovered a lot of clues already. Watch this space for the people, places, magic, and monsters moving from the page to the screen.
 * Meanwhile, 2023 is the Year of Manuscripts! We'll be undertaking the tedious task of indexing books, games, and other sources to build a more comprehensive wiki.
 * Our Wandering Kobold documented all kinds of druid circles, but it was the dragon-worshiping Circle of the Scale that led the kobold to find Tiamat's scale, unfortunately in the claws of its undead chief druid. Afterward, the kobold healed up at The Bitter Blade inn in Phlan.
 * With ample unasked-for advice from the talking sword Legendmaker, BadCatMan learned all about Oghma, Lord of Knowledge, and of the Church of Oghma, its doctrines and divisions. He couldn't leave (literally) without borrowing a book, choosing Words to all Wizards.
 * Stabbier has gone to Hell and back with Elminster, running afoul of the archfiend Malachlabra and more than one pit fiend, but was aided by the borrowed Andrathath's Mask.
 * Catching up, we welcome Zarkos Oak, who introduced the druid Haarn Brightcloak; Akiva42, who wrote of the moonstone mask and helm of darkness; Gragor Khogad, who found the stolen Idol of Silvanus; Gordakh, who mentioned the erinyes Ilzabeth; HellsCourtesy, who discovered Dead Man's Corner, a purveyor of zombies in Skulport; and Dinosaursarecool333, who let us know that the quarut and varakhut inevitables (and apparently dinosaurs too) are cool.
 * In our Legacy of the Green Regent play-by-post campaign, three of our brave heroes have been selected as Scions of the Green Regent, and Mielikki's chosen has been chosen at last—an orc as Green Regent? It's more likely than you think.
 * Plus, our very own hungry halfling wizard has a not-a-cooking-blog! Check out Juniper's Companion to Venturesome Cookery to see some tasty classic Realms dishes and have more than a heroes' feast.

7/02/2023

 * Using FANDOM's interactive maps tool, we have created a comprehensive interactive map of the most famous city in the Realms: Waterdeep! We have over 1,000 locations are mapped so far. Explore them all at Map:Waterdeep.

10/02/2023

 * We've hit 48,000 articles, deletions notwithstanding, and the lucky milestone is stuffed giant squid from Artyom.pavlov. It's one of Volo's favorites, so check it out.

9/03/2023

 * Well met! For those new here, we cover the Forgotten Realms, the long-running fantasy world created by Ed Greenwood that's the setting for Dungeons & Dragons and Honor Among Thieves. Stay a while and explore! And for our regulars, you would've noticed a new look about the place—thanks to FANDOM and Paramount, for the next few weeks, the Forgotten Realms Wiki is celebrating the movie, its characters, and the places we love so much.
 * In the coming weeks, we'll be adding and expanding articles on the movie and revealing some here. If you want to join in, just hit Edit (source editor recommended) and add the lore! To help us help you, check our policies and use the code and style of our other pages, write with an in-universe point-of-view and in past tense as you'd see in a novel, and provide references for everything. And make a FANDOM account so we can get to know you.
 * We welcome ChloeLorde, who, in service to the Mistress of the Night (one of them, anyway), is exploring Yhaunn and finding it anything but a sleepy city. She escaped a duel between the bravos Keph Thingoleir and Lyraene, then got into the murky mysteries of the temple of Shar and its head priest, Bolan, before finally being rescued by the lycanthropes of the New Moon Pact.
 * We also welcome ContactOfSolitude, who tried to join the Society of Stalwart Adventurers; Walkerius, who met the paraelemental princes Ehkahk and Bwimb II; DuskGlim, who met Ghille Cever, innkeeper of the White Hart Inn; CreedmasterY, who briefly ran afoul of the mind flayers' Awaiter Creed and Darkener Creed; and TylerChester, who fell into the clutches of the hag Granny Skabatha Nightshade. And we say well again to GreenDevilFace, who made a bad business deal at Thantilvur Investments, and Modgamers, who encountered Leomund, a mage from another world and the namesake of many spells.
 * Our Legacy of the Green Regent play-by-post campaign has kicked off a new adventure with another chapter, "Ghost Stories". Has anyone else got a spooky story to tell? And also check out Juniper's Companion to Venturesome Cookery, for yummy dishes from the Realms.
 * Now, as the elves say, sweet water and light laughter until next we meet!

 * With an aberrant slant, SilverTiger12 has wrangled into the menageries the dusk unicorn, the horrifying stonesinger, and the colorful but deadly prismatic roper, and written more about the bizarre nothics and avolakias and the mighty amphibious froghemoth.
 * Whilst documenting the civil war in Tethyr, Lhynard explored the ruins of Castle Tethyr and found a haunt, uh, haunting its halls. After escaping that spirit of a slain corlann, and then the unfortunately named bandit Fleebo, Lhynard rested up at the Winsome Repose inn.
 * SunderedShor climbed Ascal's Horn and left with a little frostbite. Fortunately, the beauticians at The Blue Baldric in Waterdeep took care of that, and he enjoyed a meal of onions.
 * We say well met to BlissfulSavant, who's currently in Cormyr, first infiltrating Stormhaven House, a secret training facility for the War Wizards; then making contact with rogue lady-in-waiting Sulue Thundersword, and finally evading capture by the Knights Royal and the highknights. Welcome to the life of a wiki editor!
 * We go ghost hunting in "Ghost Stories", the next chapter in our Legacy of the Green Regent play-by-post campaign. And our own halfling wizard-in-the-kitchen Juniper has cooked up a storm, creating Endevver Buns inspired by Honor Among Thieves!
 * Follow us on Twitter and Mastodon for thrice-daily doses of lore.
 * Now, alavairthae, as the Red Wizards say farewell—may your skill prevail.

 * Oloré! For those new here, we cover the Forgotten Realms, the long-running fantasy world created by Ed Greenwood that's the setting for Dungeons & Dragons and Honor Among Thieves. Thanks to FANDOM and Paramount, for the next few weeks, we're celebrating the movie, its characters, and the places we love so much. Check out our Realmslore Easter egg hunt and interactive map of the movie's journey. Stay a while and explore—but beware the spoilers.
 * We're busily adding and expanding articles on the movie. If you want to join in, just hit Edit (source editor recommended) and add the lore!

 * Setting off on the quest is an adventuring party comprising Artyom.pavlov, Arodp88, BadCatMan, and Ruf67. In Thay, they infiltrated the dread Citadel and watched in horror as Szass Tam, Zulkir of Necromancy, unleashed the beckoning death on his people, then beat a hasty retreat from the undead horde that emerged. Nope.
 * After searching in vain for Korinn's Keep—its location unknown, just the way the Harpers like it—they went to Womford and stayed at the Friendly Bat inn. But they found things not so friendly as they were robbed by the Pale Claw bandits. Old Timbrell wrongly claimed the bandits commanded a wyvern, sending them on a wild wyvern hunt.
 * For a rest, they went to Triboar and took in a magic show at the Triboar playhouse, but suffered picked pockets and lost a deathly token. They did get a new darksteel greataxe forged by Ghelryn Foehammer, however.
 * Armed up, they ventured down into the Underdark, and found themselves down among the deep gnomes, outside the ruined city of Dolblunde. Encouraged by Trick and Trap, they ventured within, but found patrolling intellect devourers serving the elder brain Zuphelithid, and silently slipped away again. Once again: nope.
 * Endevver Bun 5.png other tales, we go ghost hunting in "Ghost Stories", the next chapter in our Legacy of the Green Regent play-by-post campaign. And our own halfling wizard-in-the-kitchen Juniper has cooked up a storm, creating Endevver Buns inspired by Honor Among Thieves: The Road to Neverwinter!

 * Until swords part, friends.
