On Calimshan and Race

“Half-Elves: Half-elves in Calimshan are much rarer than half-orcs, and they often hide their elf heritage, finding it far safer to be considered a pale human from the northern lands. With the scarcity of elves in Calimshan, discovered half-elves are treated much like elves: They are envied, distrusted, and enslaved.”

Nirras is a character whose original concept changed drastically, from a mysterious, silent young man who observed everything with an enigmatic look, to a sharp-tongued troublemaker, who constantly frays everyone's nerves with his outbursts and biting remarks. He's emotional, enjoys being lazy, and often complains just to find an excuse to rest and avoid unpleasant tasks. He has no grand ambitions to start a revolution, commit mass murders, change the world, or become a general— Nirras simply wants to live (though even that comes with its own complications, which will be explored in future game sessions).

He's accustomed to life in the Inquisition, to routine, duties, and restrictions, and has come up with his own "three sacred commandments for life in the Inquisition", and carefully probing for loopholes. He’s used to gossip and whispers behind his back, and he’s grown comfortable with the absence of close relationships, eventually considering it the most optimal approach. All in all, Nirras is doing fine. He’s reached the final point of that original legacy of Oviterra— and he’s just living with it. His hair started going gray a bit early, and he often doesn't bother to keep himself tidy or shave regularly, plus he's had his fill of adrenaline, and even got reprimanded for it. But he has an officer’s salary, a commemorative token, and his own name, so in the end, things aren’t too bad. Life can go on, life must go on.

Untitled Poem (From My BG3 Fanfiction -- Link At Bottom of Post)

"Wot with woe be but fair truth?

Than love from you a fairer truth?

Wot pain does sting with a slap.

Yet kindness rings with this truth.

A caress can lie, true love dost hurt.

In this solemnly, I find truth.

And in thine eyes wot glazed with tears,

I find again proof of that truth."

~ Sudiman Yn Asforda, A Calishite Poet I Made Up, Forgotten Realms

New Alma of Keltar Design! I think I'm finally getting where I wanted with this character ;.;

This series of documents in the basement of Old Garlow's is such a random but kind of lovely little bit of flavor:

"A Greeting to this Home's New Occupants":

"Garlow's Retirement Plan":

"Inkings":

I feel bad for Minthara, she has a really good joke but it only works if you speak under common. Gale comes up with a really apt word for a situation, but it’s in Chondathan and has no direct translation.

you ever think about how artemis went from tracking someone up to icewind dale with a brief stop back to calimport and then back to icewind dale again because drizzt's sister rolled up, and then down into the underdark

Food he's going to have a reaction to like he's been shot for the rest of his life because there's so many negative associations with it: Knucklehead trout, mushrooms, probably deep rothe

sorry still not over Wyll being more comfortable with his horns… I doubt he’ll be fully okay with them any time soon but 🥺

Barbie's Gate 3 is an amazing dress-up simulator but they dropped the ball not giving me any fur cloaks The drama of my paladin showing up to Cazador's palace or the temple of Bhaal dripped out like this

Wow new DnD Character dropped 👀

She’s a Calimshan Halfling and (Ex-)Shepherd. Her pet Hawk’s name is Yul.

Her story is highly inspired by The Alchemist by Coelho and came to me in a sleepless night. I’m still in the concept phase but I already love her. I wanted to play a wind based character, a halfling and a ranger for a while now and she’s all three😂

Anyway does anyone know a DnD Campaign (official or unofficial) in Calimshan or Damara? I don’t want to make up everything by myself 🥲

I will forever and always be pissed at WOTC for just…only allowing D&D 5e to exist on the Sword Coast.

Toril?? Faerûn?? Nope. Only Sword Coast. Only Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter, and Icewind Dale.

"And now just imagine… I’m an ancient, evil god, who comes to you like this. What will you do, my dear?"

Our last dnd session in Calimshan. There seems to be some tension between these two… What do you think, my lovely dudes?

I'm fighting the urge to fancast El's entire family (I enjoy fancasting too much), but the timeline of their uncle's births is wild. Queen Syndrel had to have been having at least one baby per year — and still found time to lead King Uthgrael's stag hunts??? Anyway she and Uthgrael were probably in their fifties when they died. That family bit the dust young.

Our reference point is that Belaur, the oldest of their 7 sons, was 29 in 224 DR. The birth order of the princes is: Belaur, Elthaun, Cauln, Elthryn, Othglas, Felodar, and Nrymm. We don't know when Syndrel died, but it was shortly after Nrymm was born; he was raised by the women of the court and likely hadn't set foot outside Athalgard by the time Uthgrael died. Speaking of which, Uthgrael died battling orcs in 216. So the timeline is like —

195 — Belaur born

196 — Elthaun born

197 — Cauln born

198 — Elthryn born (this would make him 14 when Elminster was born)

199 — Othglas born

200 — Felodar born [date of death unknown; left Athalantar "years" before Uthgrael's death; thought to be in Calimshin in 224]

201 — Nrymm born; Syndrel dies shortly thereafter

216 — Uthgrael dies; the Warring Princes of Athalantar begin their fight for the throne

[Cauln killed in a spellduel sometime in this period]

218 — Belaur officially lays claim to the throne; Elthaun hunted down in Calimshan later that year; Othglas likely slain in Dalniir (it was at least after this point)

220 — Nrymm disappears, presumed a hostage of the mage-lords or dead

224 — Elthryn slain in the attack on Heldon

240 — Belaur slain by Elminster

❛ just stay out of my way. ❜ - djahima 8)

Entreri scoffed. "Stay out of your way? You're certainly the larger obstacle."

This person was more than a head taller than him, and Entreri didn't mind pointing it out, so long as it was at the other's expense. He also wasn't intimidated. Entreri would be a poor excuse for a killer indeed if body type posed any issue.

He was leaning against a wall, picking under a fingernail with the point of his dagger.

"... I'm doing work here tonight," he added. He left the nature of his work ambiguous, but of course with the implication that it was nothing good. "Whether or not that interferes with whatever your work is--" He shrugged. "Frankly, I don't care. My job will get done. If yours doesn't, maybe you'll simply have to learn more professionalism."

He was in a sour mood. Granted, he was rarely in a good mood. But if this person wanted a fight, they would get one, and it would be nasty.
