Has anyone else fallen down the rabbit role that is the Unpredicted Party?

It's a TTPRG based on LOTR that answers the question of what would happen if they did take the eagles to Mordor. It's very very good (and DMed by Don Marshall) and I'm in so deep

Yes ofc Biri is my favorite character

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Easter Eggs (Part 2)

[[ Part 1 can be found by clicking this link.

Deep in the Crevices

You've really got to search for these:

Mordenkainen: Yes, him again! Those are the three circles of his two-bladed sword on the Mordenkainen's arcane seal on the Castle Never vault. What's more, those same three circles appear on the front of the helmet of disjunction—which casts Mordenkainen's disjunction.

The spear of Aoth Fezim: Who? The Thayan warmage involved in the War of the Zulkirs during Szass Tam's takeover of Thay in the The Haunted Lands and Brotherhood of the Griffon series of novels by Richard Lee Byers from 2007 to 2013.

Trip and Shuffle: Introduced in A Reader's Guide to R. A. Salvatore's the Legend of Drizzt, marked only on maps since then. Only named on the Monopoly board.

Driftwood Tavern: From Neverwinter Campaign Setting and Drizzly novels. Only named on the Monopoly board and cast list. I don't even recall this in the movie.

The Citadel: Too dark to be sure, but the tower in Thay may be Szass Tam's base of operations.

Holga's darksteel greataxe: Made from darksteel and functioning roughly as last detailed in Magic of Faerûn and Volo's Guide to All Things Magical. This was forged by Ghelryn Foehammer of Targos, who appeared in 2e and 5e.

Loudwater: The thieves robbed Jolym of Jolym's Barrels & Packing in Loudwater, which was only mentioned in Volo's Guide to the North, 1993.

Zulkir Dmitra Flass: a 1300s Red Wizard of Thay, a non-speaking role and named only in the cast list.

Din Caldwell, of the Caldwell family of Baldur's Gate, named only in the cast list.

Porb Piiradost, of the Piiradost family of Waterdeep (not seen since 2nd edition), named only in the cast list.

Lord Nasher Alagondar: That's his giant statue outside the Neverwinter arena.

Lord Halueth Never: So possibly that's his giant statue next to Nasher's

The Gray Hands, just mentioned in the Neverwinter arena.

A portrait of Volothamp Geddarm in instrument to the heist.

How in the Hells Did You Find This?

The most obscure, the deepest cuts:

Pendant of invisibility: Kira's magic item. Most likely a coincidence as it wasn't on the wiki before, but it matches perfectly with a magic item of the same name in the back of Dungeon #112 in 2004.

The flashback of Szass Tam's spell and takeover of Thay appears to be a quick fictionalized summation of the events of The Crimson Gold and Unclean as well as the next century of Thayan history and descent into a necromancer's realm. Presumably this is set circa 1375 before Szass's coup and the Thayan civil war in the latter book.

Szass Tam's beckoning death spell for creating mass numbers of undead follows exactly the supposedly false story of "the spell of Undeath" that the would-be Harper King Rundorl Moonsklan and duped ally of Szass Tam spread in the early 1200s DR, as detailed in The Code of the Harpers by Ed Greenwood in 1993.

Whether or not it can be seen in the final cut of the film, thanks to an old photo from the set of the Triboar playhouse, we know there are images depicting the three boars for which the town was named as well as a shirtless man we assume to be Gwaeron Windstrom (given that god's relevance to the town).

Scenes of Lord Halueth Never and the early history of Neverwinter appear on the walls of Forge's office.

Wild Realmslore Theorizing

Insert meme of madman in front of conspiracy board here.

In Thay, it's "the eve of the solstice" and a few people are carrying red-and-yellow sun symbols. Amaunator the sun god has the summer solstice as his holy day and a sun holy symbol, particularly this one. While newly revived in 1374 DR and his association with Thay is unknown, it is plausible.

Daurgothoth moved into Dolblunde in the Year of Beckoning Death, 1253 DR, which has the same name as the Szass Tam's spell. Daurgothoth, the Creeping Doom, a dracolich, is also conspicuously absent from Dolblunde, while that necromantic spell for creating undead pours forth from something that looks like it just might be part of a dragon's horn.

We don't know officially what type of undead to classify Dralas and the other victims of Tam's beckoning death, however we note that they seem like perhaps a cross between the living Thayan knights and the unliving dread warriors (a favorite and original creation of Tam's).

Once again, credit for these finds goes to BadCatMan and the Forgotten Realms Wiki.

Once the movie hits streaming services, I’ll do an updated version of this post with movie screencaps to make it a more thorough visual guide. ]]

Hi Alby! If you’re taking suggestions, could we have some more fantasy-sounding names for the name suggestions at the beginning? I noticed a lot of the current suggestions sounded modern day American (Addison, Bailey, Dakota, Ellis, Hadley, Mackenzie, Madison, Riley, etc.) compared to the other characters in the setting (Ædan, Helene, Bertrand, Iseult, Lucia, Ræ, Brigid, etc.). I’ve also seen some games have separate suggestions for masculine, feminine, & gender neutral names, whereas most of the current names seemed gender neutral.

Ah, yes, I intentionally made most of the names gender neutral since I thought it would be better to have a list of names that was short but had options that people could choose from regardless of gender 😅 I do agree though that most of the suggestions are quite modern-sounding, so I'll probably change them with some help from good ol' fantasy name generator 😂 I'll probably keep the list as only gender-neutral names though since they're just suggestions. You can also check out https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ if you're looking for names that are more feminine or masculine 😄

UPDATE: Name suggestions have been changed to sound more fantasy-like!

Thea was raised (but not technically born) in Castle Never in Neverwinter.

Side Note: Her Main Character Energy claim to fame (in the same vein as someone being Shar’s Pet Project and being Mystra’s Ex-Boytoy and Chosen) is that all three (Bhaal physically possessed someone to make her and her brother) of her parents are big hitters—Bhaal, Dagult Neverember, and a personal character named Hala Blacksun, who is a descendant of Halueth Never (original elven founder of Neverwinter, per some lore.) She was raised as Dagult’s “adopted niece” to hide the fact that she was born out of wedlock (Dagger had no clue Bhaal possessed him.)

Tav Question

Where was your Tav raised? (You can be as specific as the neighborhood in a canon lore city or as unspecified as “a farm”)

Burning Brute

(Transcribed directly from the game, errors included.)

The Burning Brute, a creature not of this world. An unknown beast that appears to be neither wholly reptile nor mammal. It possesses a large head and thick skin. It is extremely fierce and should be approached with extreme caution.

- by Halueth Vahana, Unknown Esperian Creatures

When the space continuum was ripped apart, extra-dimensional creatures started appearing all over the land. It was first thought that most of these beings were great, noble warriors, but it has become apparent that they weren’t the only ones that came along for the ride.

The creature, with no real name other than its nickname «Burning Brute» or the «Nian Monster» in the Far East, most likely hails from a hellish landscape. It possesses a natural ability to breathe fire from its lungs. The creature is extremely violent and views all other creatures as enemies, not too unlike the Hypogeans invaders.

It has terrorized countless villages and hamlets since its arrival in Esperia. The creature’s stocky stature and frighteningly sharp horns have øeft a trail of destruction all over the land.

The denizens of Esperia have made a concerted effort to slay the beast, but due to its powerful constitution it has proven very difficult to slay. The best that they can hope for is to temporarily drive the creature away.

Thankfully, for the majority of the time the beast remains in a long slumber and only awakes once a year to scavenge for food. The folk know that this time is coming and try to prepare as best as they can for the inevitable destruction that will be wrought. Thus, the passing of each new year is now closely tied to this fiery beast.

Once the beast returns to its dormant state, the people of Esperia rejoice and celebrate by feasting upon the finest delights in the realm. However, the question always remains.

Will the Burning Brute return next year? Only time will tell.
