Current Clack
Even Mask says to wear a mask.
- We hope everyone had a starry Simril and has a safe, healthy, and well-earned holiday period. It's been a long tough year, but by working together, covering our faces, and staying 5 feet (1.5 meters) or more apart, we are getting through this. Adventure at home.
- The prolific Artyom.pavlov had so many adventures it's hard to pick just one. But, still in the ruins of Myth Drannor, in Nightingale Court, Artie heard the Song of Faerûn from the Ear of Myth Drannor, and interpreted it with the diviner Caalenfaire and talking skull Volun. He also won some magical rings from the Great Stone Head, including Torm's Tiny Circlet and Oberon's Airy Lash. Armed with such bling, Artie snuck past Kog and his dark nagas to finally reach the infamous pool of radiance. All I can say is "don't fall in".
- Planewalker SilverTiger12 escaped the Demiplane of Nightmares with bad dreams about diaboli (not as bad as they sound) and neh-thalggu, the brain collectors (so much worse). Next came demons: gadacros wanted to eat their eyeballs, solamiths everything else. A look into the Plane of Mirrors showed not themself, but one of the enigmatic nerra. After couatls told them of yuan-ti experiments, the Silver Tiger investigated and reported on the volatile yuan-ti ignans, after the burns healed. Such is the life of a monster hunter.
- We say "well met" to many new scribes. SyneXP spoke of the Lion Sword of Athalantar and the adventuress Myrjala Talithyn, as well as the early life of a certain drow ranger. Stormrider7 met the Council of the Wood of the High Forest. Jaxterhammer ran into a bibberbang. The Zingaran (oi, wrong setting!) heard the legend of Daganisoraan while a prisoner of sahuagin aboard their manta.
- And Frozenstar32 searched for the wyrms of the North, first exploring the Deeping Cave (fortunately Old Gnawbone was out) and finding the remains of Endracritar. Thalagyrt, Old Lord Memory, lived up to his name in sharing some history. So did Zundaerazylym, the Laughing Wyrm, who told of her Soft Claws and nevertokens.

Waukeen was the goddess of commerce for much of the continent of Faerûn. She was known as the Merchant's Friend for her guiding hand in all forms of commerce (legal and otherwise); as Liberty's Maiden for her support of free and fair trade through honest bargaining based on supply and demand; and as the Golden Lady for her unabashed belief in the accumulation of wealth and, most importantly, the use of those riches to improve civilization for everyone. She was a relatively young deity, driven to accomplish her goals quickly and completely so she could move on to the next one. This impatient streak often led her to try alternate methods when "business as usual" resulted in an impasse, and manifested itself in her church which sometimes let the ends justify the means.
Her stubbornness likely led to her downfall during the Time of Troubles when she, like almost every other deity in the Faerûnian pantheon, was cast down to Toril and forced to inhabit the Prime Material Plane in avatar form. She joined up with Lliira and hatched a plan to get back to her realm in the Outlands, first by attempting to bribe Helm, who was guarding the Celestial Staircase, and then by striking a bargain with an archfiend of the Abyss, Lord Graz'zt. Unable to leave Toril in divine form, she temporarily bequeathed her divinity and portfolio to Lliira, only to be betrayed by Graz'zt and held prisoner for twelve years. During her long absence, not even Lliira knew her whereabouts and the church of Waukeen began to decline rapidly.
New & Upcoming Releases

Players take the roles of mages who command armies of basal golems, humanoids, and monsters summoned from bloodforges and transformed at sacred shrines using the atypical resource of mana. They wage battles against AI opponents or each other in the multiplayer mode. The single-player game features six campaigns, with the option to play opposing sides and randomized battles, across a total of fifteen maps. Stories range from sword-and-sorcery to romance to comedy to an epic campaign of conquest.
Realmslore
- The Ruldegost family of Waterdhavian nobility seemed like a respectable House that made their coin through trade and banking, but the family matriarch's brother was secretly a member of the sinister Knights of the Shield.
- The Grove of Meditation in the kingdom of Synnoria on the Moonshae Isles was blessed by the Earthmother to provide meditating elven mages the insight needed to advance their powers.
- The horned devil Rotbite possessed the stone golem Awtawmatawn no fewer than two times, terrorizing the inhabitants of Volkumburgh Vale on both occasions before ultimately being foiled by falling down a hole.
- The Lake of Steam separated the Shining South from the rest of Faerûn. The Border Kingdoms, the Shaar, and several free cities such as Mintar, Yeshpek, and Ankhapur all lay along its coast.
- Luthbaern was a town of corpulent cheese-makers, which is just about the nicest thing anyone could say about Luthbaern; its citizens were pompous and arrogant, and the town itself was gray and cramped.
- The humble torch kept darkvision-impaired adventurers across Toril safe as they plundered dungeons and crypts. Remember: always light a torch before opening a sarcophagus. No exceptions.
- The Tower of Solace was a grand building in Neverwinter's Protector's Enclave district where the evil wizard Rhazzad experimented on the plaguechanged victims of the Spellplague under the guise of charity.
- Clangeddin's Hearth, a dwarven group touting themselves as the survivors of Clan Melairkyn, briefly retook the Temple of Clangeddin in Undermountain before they were slaughtered by the lich Morik Stormhand.
- The deep waters of Waterdeep's Deepwater Harbor were kept exceptionally clean by the continuous efforts of the Guild of Watermen and local merfolk from the villages of Tharqualnaar and T'Quession.
- A powerful and ambitious wu jen was once cursed by the Eight Million Gods of Kara-Tur to become a vile tigbanua buso, wandering the island of Wa and turning innocents into savage tagamaling busos.
And, from the archives:
- Yattara was a succubus who served the demon lord Graz'zt as his spymaster.
- Lake Ashane was a glacial lake on the border of Rashemen that was home to water spirits.
- Khuumal's baldric was a studded leather baldric that warmed and healed its wearer.
- Lashan Aumersair, would-be conqueror of the Dalelands, was a direct descendent of Elminster Aumar.
- The City of Judgment was the grim afterlife of followers of Kelemvor and Jergal, as well as the Faithless and False.
