Quick question:
Every city with a mythal has a "Myth" name: Myth Drannor, etc.... If Silverymoon has a mythal, why doesn't it have a "Myth" name?

- I think the custom of changing the city's name to Myth *** belonged exclusively to the elves, the designers of the first mythals. There are some places with mythals or quasi-mythals, like Herald's Holdfast (see Magic of Faerûn, p. 49), Karador (Dragon #365 - "Realmslore: Sarifal"), Rhymanthiin (Blackstaff, near the end), Shoonach (Magic of Faerûn again), and Sakkors (see one of The Twilight War novels, I forget which), which contains a mythallar instead of a mythal.
- I don't recall who created the mythals of Herald's Holdfast or Shoonach, but Karador's was built by the fey, Rhymanthiin's was created (presumably) in the same high magic ritual that raised the city, and Sakkors was infused by some Netherese guy. Hope that helps! Cronje (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:06, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. "Some Netherese guy" LOL. Dutch206 13:44, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
Arken or Arkhen?[]
This map: 
uses the name "Arken" but the link in the article is to Arkhen's Invocatorium. I'll look at my books when I get home, but wanted to note the discrepancy before I forget. —Moviesign (talk) 14:48, November 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Maps get the names wrong all the time. I think we need to follow a text trumps maps rule. ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:05, November 3, 2015 (UTC)
- In this case, it's the most recent publication that trumps, I suppose. The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier calls him Arken the Icy many times, but Silver Marches (sourcebook) calls him Arkhen the Icy just once. So, it's possible that the latter source has a typo. I'd like to see one more source to be sure. —Moviesign (talk) 04:51, November 4, 2015 (UTC)
Mystra Worship[]
Why does the sidebar list Mystra as a "former" religion? I can't find what this might be referencing anywhere I've looked. Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide states that a temple to Mystra is amongst the temples the city boasts (p.53). What am I missing?
