Call woodland beings was a conjuration spell that allowed the caster three chances to name a type of forest-dwelling creature, such as brownies, centaurs, dryads, pixies, satyrs, sprites, treants, unicorns, etc., and summon one or more of them to aid the caster.[4][1][2][3]
History[]
It was recorded in Yornar's Trail Companion, a holy text of the church of Mielikki.[5]
In the month of Eleasis, of the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR, Chief Prelate Dayspring of the Clerical Circle of Ravens Bluff declared it illegal for priests to cast call woodland beings within city limits due to a raging unnatural storm at the time called the Soulstorm, threatening arrest for those that broke this decree.[6][note 1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
