We don't want to boar you, but this is all we can show.

- The D&D movie now has a name—Honor Among Thieves—and those who saw the sizzle reel are teasing us with dragon chases, arena battles, a displacer beast, and more, and we're piecing it all together. But we rolled a 20 on our Investigation check and the Forgotten Realms Wiki can exclusively report a hot new fact about the movie: as well as Neverwinter, it will also be set in the town of Triboar! Fear not, the Realmslore will be on display. (And we hope our previous April Fools gags on the very same theme don't harm our credibility.)
- Interactive maps are back! Scroll, zoom, click on a pin, and see where it takes you. Check out our growing map library here, then wait while we cover the rest of this vast planet.
- Meanwhile, the FRW has passed 43,000 articles and counting! Regis87 finally claimed the milestone with earth walk.
- Regis87 has been delving into divine magic, documenting such spells as the crypt ward used by dwarf priests of Dumathoin, perhaps to protect against the curse of the revenancer cast by drow clerics of Kiaransalee. And for clerics of Lolth, she found a powerful healing spell, the cloak of gaer. (What is a gaer, anyway? Maybe we don't want to know.)
- Arodp88 has headed to Triboar, pitching a tent on the caravan campground and then visiting the apothecary for a refreshing sweetwater. It made a nice change from avoiding the draconic creatures of Orogoth.
- In Leilon, Malte Martin rented a barge from Rorsta Anvilhand and set off for the Mere of Dead Men, only to see it capsized by a rot troll. Fortunately, Malte was captured/rescued by a band of lizardfolk led by Hissain, and was helped back to civilization by Slosh.
- We welcome MRackham, who came from another world with Avnon Des, a priest of the Shadow God. (Is it Mask? Or isn't it?)
- In our Legacy of the Green Regent campaign, our heroes have defeated the goblin bandits and a wererat wizard, but can they now cure his victims of their lycanthropy?

She was often referred to as the Dark Maiden, the Lady of the Dance, or Lady Silverhair, and sometimes The Dark Dancer, among other titles. After 1375 DR, for a brief time and while her faith subsumed that of her brother, the Masked Lord Vhaeraun, she became known as The Masked Lady.
Eilistraee was the daughter of Araushnee and Corellon Larethian, a free-spirited and kind-hearted goddess, with a fiery streak in her personality. After Araushnee's treachery almost made her slay her own father when a host of evil deities assaulted Arvandor, even as she was cleared from any guilt, Eilistraee chose to share her mother's exile. She made that choice because she knew that the drow would need her light in the times to come. After the descent of the drow, Eilistraee tried her best to be a mother goddess to her people and bring them the hope of a new life: she fought to lead them back to the lands of light, helping them to flourish and prosper in harmony with all other races, free from Lolth's tyranny. Hers was an uphill battle, however, as her power was little and she was opposed by all the gods of the Dark Seldarine. But, despite having to overcome many hardships and setbacks, Eilistraee never gave up fighting for her people.
In the 1370s DR, her conflict with her mother over the souls of the drow race ultimately led to Eilistraee's defeat and temporary disappearance. It lasted for about a century, until the Second Sundering, when Eilistraee returned to life and to her followers.
New & Upcoming Releases
This issue has a look at the upcoming Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel, the Dragonbone Vale expansion for Neverwinter, and the playable races of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. It also presents artwork and maps for Candlekeep Mysteries and Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. Finally, there is a discussion of translating D&D to other languages.

The players are the famed Heroes of Ascore who recently halted the Zhentarim's plans to conquer the Savage Frontier and the Moonsea. Continuing this journey of heroism, they are called upon to protect ambassadors from the Lords' Alliance. In a turn of events, the Zhentarim and their allies regroup, abduct the ambassadors one by one, and "replace" them. The new "ambassadors" of the Lords' Alliance smear the Heroes of Ascore as traitors, and the party must regain their well-earned name. Treasures of the Savage Frontier sees the party reaching new heights, from freeing the oppressed people of Farr Windward to slaying the great white dragon, Freezefire.
Today in the Realms...
...it is 17 Mirtul, or the 17th of the Melting. Selûne is a waxing crescent moon 
. On this day:
- In 1373 DR, Sundabar came under siege by the Scoured Legion from Hellgate Keep but won the day. Legion leader Kaanyr Vhok and his consort Aliisza, fled for the Elemental Plane of Fire through a portal beneath the city, leaving the Legion fractured.
Realmslore
- The residents of Helmsport in Maztica suffered attacks by red wolves of Payit until they killed the pack leader and stuffed its corpse. As the stuffed wolf changed owners, many of them ended up mysteriously dead, causing many to believe it to be cursed.
- The city of Crimmor in Amn was protected by the Crimmor Guard, who patrolled the city's streets, manned its walls, and worked with the Shadow Thieves to regulate criminal activity.
- Every year on Ches 30, clerics from all the temples in Waterdeep and members of the city's sea-related guilds traveled to Deepwater Isle to fast and pray as part of the Fair Seas Festival.
- Mystic wanderers believed they needed to explore and experience the world—rather than remain cloistered in a temple—in order to truly serve their gods, making them the Realmsian equivalent of obnoxious backpackers.
- Specialty priests of Valkur, the Captain of the Waves, were known as stormharbors. They tried to show how Valkur could be counted upon to protect against the wrath of both Talos and Umberlee while at sea. Valkur, however, did not always cooperate.
- The spell nature's eyes allowed a priest of the gnomish deity Gaerdal Ironhand to tap into the senses of animals in their vicinity to locate intruders (and other things too, presumably).
- Clerics of Laduguer, the duergar god of weapons, could cast the spell enchanted hammer on a blacksmith's hammer made from silver or mithral to make it produce superior smithwork.
- The swordsmith Aldenar Uldinath was known for his cheap prices and superior craftsmanship. Far from limiting himself to swords, his latches, nails, and pins were said to support Triboar's wainwrights in their success.
- Malkith Undree, a Magister of Mystra, was known for his superior attitude and relentless scheming, causing some to describe him as "a fat, contented cat, looking down his nose at the world".
- Scarbradro's Haven was an inn catering to wagon crews in Baldur's Gate notable for its spartan approach to interior design—guests were seated at basic trestle tables with benches and the walls weren't even painted.
- The angelship known as the Enforcer served as the flagship of the Enforcers, a vigilante law-enforcement company that protected Realmspace from mind flayers and pirates.
- The Silverwisp Swamp near the Mere of Dead Men was the site of numerous Uthgardt burial mounds. Unfortunately, the ample supply of corpses attracted the attention of nefarious types like the ancient Netherese necromancer Idris.
And, from the archives:
- The temple of Tyr in Dagger Falls was led by Tunfer the Stout and offered its services to those who worked for Lord Randal Morn.
- Lake Mulsantir, between Rashemen, Thay, and Thesk, was patrolled by Rashemi witchboats piloted by hathrans.
- The wand of power belonging to the godly father of Selûne enabled transport between planes, until it was seized by Imgig Zu.
- Akota was a mysterious realm beyond the western coast of Zakhara that exported gold and slaves to other cities.
- The Pit of the Ghuls was a desolate valley in Zakhara said to contain statues of gold, onyx, and other precious materials.
- The Steps of Istishia in Keltar, Calimshan, was an impressive shrine to Istishia in which water flowed down a pyramid.
- Rikmo Naquander, a Master Thief of the Shadowmasters of Telflamm, had plans to join the city's merchant council.
- Anth-Malar was the Chosen of the god Malar, and enjoyed impaling his victims upon stalactites in the Twisted Run.
- An ensnaring strike spell caused vines to entangle and slowly crush a creature struck by an enchanted weapon.
