Adventurers' Tales
Current Clack
You've got chainmail.
- We've reached 58,000 articles! The lucky number 58,000 is Artie's The Pedestal of Jondar the Valiant. Have a read of the legend of this mysterious "statue"...
- Wow, where did the time go? We wish we could say it was mostly into those strange other-world matters of real life, but more often than not it was just other areas of wiki life, as well as ample castings of forget spells. Work on The Forgotten Realms Wiki Presents Juniper's Companion to Venturesome Cookery is taking up a lot of our focus and energy and some things have gone on hold, yet it's nearing completion and we can't wait to show you all this big beautiful cookbook of ours. Until then, let's catch up on Current Clacks…
- ItalianKarsus visited Shadowdale, stopping by Warmfires House for a meal cooked by Rendal Ironguard and Crown & Raven Scriveners to have work done by Maervidal Iloster, but apparently got involved in some Zhentish intrigues when he drank some bad wine served by Nildon Baraejhe. We hope he recovers soon.
- SunderedShor took a trip aboard the Blue Glaucus submarine, only to be marooned at the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, this gave plenty of time to learn psionics from a spiritualist: aura sight, body weaponry, among others, and astral projection and metamorphosis might come in handy for an escape.
- ChloeLorde ventured into the ruins of Myth Drannor, donning cloak of sunlight, breath of vitality, the boots called Death's Deferral, and the belt known as Ophael's cincture for protection. She followed the directions of the guide Weikko Brightbeam, battled the undead dwarves of the Eternal Brigade and won a set of bracers of the battlerager, and finally confronted the glabrezu demon Zun'thar the Unbound.
- Artemaz is having a hot time in the City of Brass, entering via the Magma Gate and the Iskalat district, and having a cool-ish drink or three on the Street of the Vine. He took in the view of the flaming Naranj Canal, visited the Plaza of the Silver Chariot and the Palazzo of Stamping Hooves, and wisely avoided Scorpion Alley (it was full of scorpions).
- We say well met to Aeliren, who's been exploring Cormyr and met Magistrate Cornelius Latrimor and Oversword Edric Crastmere of Wheloon, the mysterious peasant girl Ana Brabener of Eveningstar, and the well-named treasure hunter Oriphaun Huntsilver. Aeliren also toured Granwell Keep and Beckside Castle.
- We've got a lot of other new editors to welcome too: Emperorkangxi told as all about the land of Laothan in Malatra; Shulllk heard the tale of the Beast Lord, the ghostly druid Voolad Espiral, while BedlamMarching was frightened off by the ghost of the Sharran priestess Eshayben; M. Alacant traded with Furjur the Flippant; PatoFR voyaged to Thay aboard the Shadovar flying fortress enclave Kolthunral; StorytellerMars adventured with the thri-kreen ranger Kalix; Pandinal read The Making of a Good Tyrant; and AntonKutovoi kept warm beneath a cloak of the yeti.
- And we welcome back others: Topaztube was transformed into a stone cursed creature; Darkwynters was robbed by the apostate cleric Krastius the Heretic; Lurker Z escaped the slaver Hafkris; and Eoliao sailed into Remichispace aboard a spelljammer.
- Until next time, aluve, as the drow say.
Featured Article
Unending war took a terrible toll on the dwarves. Many women and children were slain, leaving men who all honored their parents as war-heroes. Earthfast dwarves were battle-hardened veterans, grim and moody sorts who worked and fought in utter silence, seeing stealth as a virtue and vital defense. They were even head-hunters, seizing the skulls of foes and stacking them in tidy pyramids in a great cavern. The greater the foe, the better the skull.
Nevertheless, Earthfast was an honorable ally who would still come to another's aid. They were allies of Impiltur early in its history. Centuries later, after befriending the renegade "Mithril Princess" Alusair of Cormyr, who helped break the siege, Earthfast dwarves joined King Azoun IV in his Crusade against the Tuigan Horde, defending and saving all of Faerûn at high cost to themselves.

Today in the Realms...
...it is 11 Kythorn, or the 11th of the Time of Flowers. Selûne is a waning crescent moon

- The Knights of Synnoria, a famed cavalry unit of Llewyrr elves that defended the realm of Synnoria on the island of Gwynneth in the Moonshae Isles, were so arrogant and condescending to allies it was said they would rather lose a war than acknowledge humans as equals.
- Chandra Stol was a priestess of Mielikki living near the village of Parnast in the Greypeak Mountains. She sought a new statue of Angharradh for the Shrine of Axes to replace the one broken during the occupation by the Cult of the Dragon.
- Storm was a variety of enchanted hammer that struck with shocking energy. The oldest and greatest was wielded by the Chessentan hero Cevalias, at the bidding of Saphia, in the wars that elevated Cimbar to its status as the nation's capital.
- Mezeketh Isle, in the Sea of Fallen Stars off the coast of Sembia, was where the mortal adventurers Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul buried the heart of Borem of the Lake of Boiling Mud after killing the primordial during their quest for godhood.
- Ch'ing Tung Province was one of the largest and most populous and fertile of Shou Lung, known for its farmlands and adventurous cuisine—hot and spicy stewed snake with pineapple was a favorite, while mundane lamb and mutton were scorned.
- The Moonclaws were a band of thieves and killers active in Hastarl in Athalantar around 229 DR, though they were rumored to serve the Magelords, as evidenced by them acting and moving openly through the streets.
- The Gentleman's Groggery was a tavern in Skullport situated atop a stalactite in a dead-magic zone. Its good services, reasonable prices, and novel menu were countered by the poor selection of drinks, an infestation by bats, and their guano.
- Mussels, a type of bivalve mollusk, were commonly harvested from the seas and waterways for use in a variety of dishes, and sometimes for pearls, perfumes, and gaming tokens. Storm giants sometimes used giant mussel shells as tables.
- The Church of Loviatar held a variety of painful rituals, from self-flagellation during daily prayer to wild dances in which they passed body parts through flames or even danced upon thorns, broken glass or crystal, or barbed wire. The Maiden of Pain herself might manifest at these.
