The lore is solid and appreciated but I find myself sceptical of the delivery. Was this all read by a text-to-speech tool? A few of the articulations didn't feel natural. Which makes me wonder, who authored the text?
The funny thing is we did get a taste of what the Spellplague would be like before the event itself happened in the time of troubles when Mystra was slain by Helm it changed the land where she died and the people who lived near it the effects was very similar to the Spellplague in that it drove people insane but because it was only in one area they was able to deal with it better
great dragons show up on the Sea of Fallen Stars like giant squids ruining your ship where not bad enough now you got to worry about your ship burning up from a enemy dragon
Very good video, but some facts got mixed up. Sildar Hallwinter is not a Knight of the Order of the Gauntlet. He is an agent of the Lords' Alliance and used to be a Waterdavian Griffon Cavallerist. It is Daran Edermath who is a member of the Order of the Gauntlet, allbeit retired. Halia Thornton on the other hand is very much not retired. She's an active member of the Zhentarim.
Leilon isn't located Northeastwards of Phandalin on the contrary it is to Southwestwards. You might be using a mirror image of the map. And calling Leilon as crossrads of somesort, where roadsfade into trails? Wth is that. Crossroad is an actual name in that locale, North of Leilon when you go towards Neverwinter for around 20 miles there you find the Crossroad where High Road(Coastal tradeway that stretches from Northern Sword Coast city Luskan down south to Neverwinter, Leilon,Waterdeep, Daggerford and Baldur's Gate) intersects with Triboar Trail.(which is almost a day of travel from Leilon, and just a little more from Phandalin)...The crossroads has a non canonical Keep placed in that intersection named "Crossroad keep" while non canonical many FR sages, players and DM's consider it canonical as it's been used as multiple official franchises(Neverwinter game series being the most popular example). I love the idea of making such videos but let's not confuse minds, as flawed data is already rampant in web, making it worse will damage the consistency of Forgotten Realms lore further.
Just finished running a homebrew campaign based in Thay. Could have used some of the info here but most of the info here I found. Still well-made video.
I enjoyed ROTFM so much as my first campaign the dm let my new character come back from the dead as a paladin/warlock devoted to her. Went Oathbreaker as well after my original god decided to hear my divine intervention and made my whole party take extra piercing damage. So said f u Ill follow her then
Silverymoon My favorite area in Faerûn!! I am in a group that started in the Dormitories in the USAF in 2002 [3rd edition] and has continued to this very day. The Fabled Platinum Slayers started in the Silvermarches and have traveled in and out of this region repeatedly for 2 decades... my Dragon Stalker / Epic Ranger [level 24] started as a lowly 0 lvl Ranger in the Moonwoods. To say I don't love this area and very involved in the region [Lore] is an understatement. Our group currently has 2 businesses in SilveryMoon one a tavern and brewery. [SilveryBrew] I'm a brewmaster in real life and a brewmaster in Silverymoon funny how these things work out!! 😁
