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.

Forgotten Realms WikiFey lingererA fey lingerer, sometimes known as simply a lingerer, was the undead remnant of a fey or eladrin that refused to die. They were animated by strong emotions, passions, or simply spite that their long lifespan had been cut short.[1][2][3] The physical form of a fey lingerer was zombielike and ruined, but driven by a violent spirit.[1][3] Their features were skeletal, but in darkness or from a distance, they could still appear delicate and beautiful as they had in life. However, their moldy or slim

#WritersCoffeeClub 8 May. Give an example of a project you’ve had to give up on.

Well, that requires some explanation.

Back in the early 1990s, TSR was on a "National Geographic" trip and produced a number of expansions for their #ForgottenRealms setting for #DnD which were basically fantasy counterpart cultures to real world cultures.

#Maztica , based on Mesoamerican cultures, was arguably the worst of these. The initial premise was basically a fantasy replay of Cortez' conquests of the #Aztec Empire, and it went worse from there - the locals basically had little agency of their own, their magic and technology was weaker than that of the "Mighty Whitey" invaders, and so forth.

My concept was to use the massive time skip between the 2E and the 5E version of the Realms to update the setting to a modern, postcolonial area, and give the locals their dignity back and make them the heroes of their own stories, instead of local color for explorers from mainland Faerun.

I did a lot of concept work I am still proud of and wanted to publish something on the Dungeon Master's Guild. But in the end, I wasn't sure that the original settings deserved being redone in that manner - and as a white European, I am probably not the best person to do it.

Krakengates were massive perpetual gates underneath the Trackless Sea and the Sea of Fallen Stars that allowed Slarkrethel, the kraken leader of the Kraken Society, to move between them, unrestrained by the land and great distances.

Forgotten Realms WikiKrakengateA krakengate was a massive, perpetually functioning portal constructed beneath the seas of Toril to allow for the rapid, underwater transport of Slarkrethel, a magically gifted kraken, and his network of subjects, the Kraken Society.[1][2] As of Year of the Tankard, 1370 DR, the krakengates numbered four, all built beneath the Trackless Sea to the west of the Sword Coast. One sea gate lay within the ruins of Ascarle, the headquarters of the Kraken Society, while another was on the ocean floor ne
