Today in the Realms...
...it is 18 Eleasis, or the 18th of Highsun. Selûne is a waxing crescent moon 
. On this day:
- In 1374 DR, after Malkizid, a former archdevil summoned by Lady Sarya to serve House Dlardrageth, was banished, the daemonfey retreated from the Vale of Lost Voices.
- In 1374 DR, facing an army from Zhentil Keep, Hillsfar acceded to Fzoul Chembryl's demands.

Current Clack
Not how we did it, honest.
- Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves now has a trailer with character and story details confirmed, and only the Forgotten Realms Wiki has a complete second-by-second breakdown with all the connections, clues, and our best theories (we were first and haven't been wrong yet) and even an interactive map of locations. Thanks to FANDOM, we also got to ask some questions of directors, writers, and producer Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, and Jeremy Latcham—see the interview here. What's more, we rolled another natural 20 on a Search check and found a leaked fragment of the script! Minor spoiler alert, but it does namedrop Elminster!
- Stabbier studied the paintings of Petra, who specialized in surprisingly realistic dragon paintings, and searched in vain for one of the fabled Tears of the Dragon, which had been shed by the gold dragon Tlanchass for the death of her beloved.
- WanderingKobold explored the town of Archenbridge, staying at Old Stonebows inn and visiting the Chapel of Resounding Justice, but was forbidden access to Orosul's Tower by the Archenriders. Nevertheless, the kobold returned with tales of the enigmatic spellweavers, written in their own node hieroglyphs.
- BadCatMan learned about Our Lady of the Forest, Mielikki, and her proxies Lemminkainen and Tiera; the prophet Alaundo the Seer; and Themberchaud, the Wyrmsmith of Gracklstugh.
- We welcome Rokkamns, who attended the Shinobugaoka university in Wa and studied the Jade Ladies, creatures of Realmspace like plainsjan and Chandos fish, and even feng shui.
- We also welcome GreenDevilFace, who picked the mind of the illithid assassin Suthool, and Torbion1.1, who checked out Zikran's Zephyrean Tome at Candlekeep but couldn't get past the cover.
- In our Legacy of the Green Regent campaign, our heroes have finally arrived in Loudwater on Midsummer Night, passing the Vine Tower and visiting the Red Boar Tavern. It's time to put their feet up, or let their hair down, and find whatever it is they're looking for.

Despite its forlorn appearance of abandonment, the Plane of Shadow was home to a wide variety of creatures. Over the millennia, all manner of animals and monsters either wandered into or fell through a vortex and got lost or became trapped. Those that survived eventually became dark creatures imbued with shadowstuff, often with unique abilities. A nearly immortal race of shapeshifters known as the Malaugrym were also quite at home here. Probably the most dominant inhabitants were the descendants of the ancient Netherese enclave of Thultanthar which escaped the Fall of Netheril by shifting the entire floating city into the Plane of Shadow. Over centuries, each generation adapted to the new environment a little better as it replaced part of their humanity with shadow essence, until they became shades.
At some point in its history, the deities Mask and Shar carved out their dominions on the Plane of Shadow. When Shar choreographed the demise of Mystra, precipitating the Spellplague, she managed to inject some of the energy from the Negative Energy plane into the Plane of Shadow, which changed its fundamental nature. Suddenly, the souls of the dead were drawn here first on their way to the afterlife. Shar named the altered plane the Shadowfell.
