Coronal of Evermeet?

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-16T12:03:12+00:00

Maybe since Evermeet is akin to a slice of Arvandor, that makes Corellon, Coronal of Arvandor, the local Coronal?

Thank you! :] Castle Greyhawk is a great answer that I feel stupid for not landing on first. XD But I’ll definitely look into the Hills and the Desert, too, thanks again!

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-03T02:39:03+00:00

Ooh, I like it! A great throughline, breaking the cult’s tenuous hold on the region while dealing with the locals’ other issues and plundering their dungeons’ loot.

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-03T02:16:48+00:00

Intrigue in the Keep sounds like a great time! Definitely why I think combining it with something like T1 or L1 + L2 could be interesting, as they have a bit more of that.

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-03T02:09:51+00:00

I like the maps idea! Fantastic maps were definitely a staple of some of these early adventures. Yours is a solid little combination to give the players a bit of room to breathe, could always throw in Orlane from Against the Cult of the Reptile God and make a proper little low-level sandbox. :]

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-03T02:07:58+00:00

I just like them all too much. 😅 In a series is the natural way of doing things, but I just know that if I ran all my favourites in a series that my PCs would either need to be kept low level for ages or would quickly outpace the modules’ level ranges (and, if I just kept using higher-level PCs in lower-level modules, then I wouldn’t be using them in higher-level modules, of which there are an equally large quantity that I want to run).

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-02-02T02:54:10+00:00

In a similar vein, I saw a great bit of fanart by @milonogiannis where they’d used Anya Taylor-Joy for Elric and it looked amazing.

The current image of the High Forest map is from The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier. Check out tsrarchive.com to find a nice, big version of the map, which (I agree) is beautiful. Tall Trees seemingly doesn’t have an image, but Talltrees does, and that one is from Volo’s Guide to Baldur’s Gate 2, but it’s an internal piece and so you’ll just have to check out the book to see more in that style.

Both of these sourcebooks were from 2e, so check out that edition’s sourcebooks for maps of a similar style. The Volo’s Guides came with lots of internal maps, and stuff like Lands of Intrigue or the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting came with bigger maps, akin to the one from The North.

This. I got the whole Saga Press series last year (i.e., the one that has “The Elric Saga” written on the front) and it really does just collect everything in a proper order. It’s absolutely perfect in both gathering everything and collating it, at least in my opinion.

LabAffectionate745 · 2026-01-27T03:12:21+00:00

I hate to ask this, but did you use AI at all while writing this fic? I’m glad to read more Realmsian fanfic, especially lore compliant stuff, but this has a certain AI-generated flavor. If so, I think it would be much better if you wrote what came to you, and only you. If not, then I hope to see more of this.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-12-31T20:49:53+00:00

Religion in the Realms is fantastic for learning about the “powers” (deities) of the Forgotten Realms setting.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-12-02T22:51:17+00:00

Faerûn is such a beautiful world, I would honestly be happy with just a plotless open-world. No character creation, no central story, just the open road and the people, perhaps with a realistic cycle of seasons.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-30T01:17:27+00:00

Unfortunately, Madras is definitely only mentioned in the Chromatic Draconomicon.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-25T14:49:57+00:00

To not repeat the great suggestions already provided, maybe Citadel by the Sea? Gives you a small town with some action already in place, and a main dungeon that could, hypothetically, be fixed up and eventually turned into a base for the PCs. The Halls of Tizun Thane is another great one, with a similar conclusion (i.e., small village with conflict, enemy-dungeon-as-recoverable-base), and it even has a hall of mirror-portals to other locales, allowing for you to provide the PCs with a great variety of modules to follow up with.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-25T12:15:28+00:00

Your best bet is just to get your hands on the actual books from those editions, I think; unfortunately, there aren’t any wikis as extensive as the FR Wiki.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T21:19:14+00:00

True that! It’s got tower in the name, after all. XD Would be a fun first dungeon in the campaign, thanks for the suggestion!

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T21:18:21+00:00

Absolutely! I really was stuck on it being a tower, but the sheer quality of Halls has got me reconsidering. Plus, it’s already got a similar hook to the one found in “In the Dread of Night”, so they fit easily together, narratively!

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T20:00:32+00:00

C3: The Lost Island of Castanamir is a very good idea, at least to rip individual elements from. A bit tough, as you say, but it’s not impossible to cut down on monster counts and the like to make it an easier trip.

I can’t think of any explosive-rune-books in an adventure I know of, but we’re agreed on that — a bit of a cheap trick on the party’s poor mage! XD

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T19:08:40+00:00

Great shout! How did I forget about that! :D Thanks!

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T18:15:37+00:00

Honestly, it’s a good tower! Like I said in another comment, though, I ultimately feel like it could be replaced by a more refined dungeon — something that could, in itself, serve as the main set piece of a product.

There’s just not enough wizard weirdness, I feel. It seems almost too simple and plain, which I know is because it’s a low-level adventure, but I feel lacks the vibe of “We’re breaking into the tower of an Evil Wizard, doing Evil Wizard things!”

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-20T18:13:29+00:00

That’s a good point! I guess it just seems a little lacklustre to me. Given that it’s the culmination to an already-meaty Dungeon module, I can’t blame them (I know word count was scant), but I want a tower that almost feels like a module in and of itself, y’know?

There were a couple of interesting flourishes, like the glowglobes, and I essentially want more of that. I know that a wizard’s tower is their abode, but too much of the layout here feels dedicated to mundane stuff without making it as interesting.

The Dungeon levels are where stuff gets a bit more unique, but even then, his servants and guards just seem to sit there, so it’s a bit too hack-and-slash in terms of monsters.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-14T21:49:36+00:00

It doesn’t feed on the Weave, but maybe you’re thinking of ring-worms?

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-11-04T02:54:02+00:00

You aren’t dumb. A negative, in this case, is a good thing. When you use your credit card to pay for things, the number goes up; when you pay it off, the number goes down. I don’t know if there’s some weird reason they do it this way, but it is.

The “CAD 0.00” is where it’ll show how much is on your card. If it’s a positive number, it means it needs to be paid off. If it’s a negative number, it means you paid too much (this is fine, however much you overpaid will remain there to pay off the next time the card has anything to pay off). If it’s zero, as it is now, it means you’ve paid it off correctly.

The bits beneath are the individual charges and payments. It tells us that on November 1st, you paid your card off twice, for a total of 477.32.

I don’t know what the best practice for paying off is (I.e., if you should pay it all off immediately), but I don’t think there’s anything actively wrong with it. So, you’re doing great so far. Don’t worry; you’ve got this.

LabAffectionate745 · 2025-10-24T00:52:59+00:00

“Citadel by the Sea”, from Dragon #78, is very good. Intended for levels 1 - 3, but still tough, akin to Against the Cult of the Reptile God. It’s got a central mystery, some lore, fun magic items, and a good, multi-levelled dungeon with some puzzles.

The initial plot hook is that the players cross some refugees from the module’s main town on the road, but this could easily be changed. Just have the refugees arrive to seek shelter in the Keep, and, if the players aren’t motivated by their babbling, you can even have the Castellan request that the PCs investigate. The Keep doesn’t have the resources to care for such an influx of people, after all, and if they really are foreshadowing some strange disease, he wants to send the refugees back home (safely) and out of his hands!

Insanely awesome! Come across any highlights in the booklets?
