The people. Whitestain Mine had been a boon to the local economy for years, but Olya claimed their troubles stemmed from the mine's activities polluting the groundwater and volunteered to put her modicum of herb lore to work in purifying the well. Her efforts cemented her place as a leader and paragon of the remote village. Unbeknownst to the village folk, the Tatka Olya they now revered was not the kindly medicine-woman they had grown up with but a being that had traversed the nearby Lonewood from its intersection with the Unseelie realm of the Fey. Smelling an opportunity for a truly long-term work of wickedness, a green hag murdered and stole the midwife's persona and now masquerades as the village's savior. While the hag has been midwife to the village since, she in turn has taken a tithe of all children born for her own purposes by claiming they were stillbirths and perpetuated her sham of alchemy by 'treating' the local well with a concoction brewed to turn the villagers against each other. It was going terribly well, until just two weeks ago.

  • Bestiary of the Realms, Volume 1 TABLE of CONTENTS
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 1 by Eric L. Boyd and Thomas M. Costa Art by Noëlle Triaureau (aughisky, cave fisher, cooshee, gaunt, greater raven, werefox, finhead saurial, shoosuva) and Thomas M. Costa (campestri) A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS The Forgotten Realms has been a living breathing world for decades, brought to life by the fertile mind of Ed Greenwood in 1967 and nurtured and grown by countless authors and game designers since its publication in 1987. Between 1987 and 2000, TSR, Inc. and Wizards of the Coast released an enormous volume of game material for the Forgotten Realms under the aegis of the 1st and 2nd Editions of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. In 2000, Wizards of the Coast updated the venerable Dungeons & Dragons game, with the release of 3rd Edition or “3E.” In 2001, Wizards of the Coast updated the Forgotten Realms campaign setting to 3rd Edition as well. In the opinion of the authors, the introduction of 3rd Edition is a welcome addition to the ever-growing Forgotten Realms, for the system’s flexibility allows game designers to better represent the endless variety of life that dwells in the Forgotten Realms. However, the downside of the new version of the game is that, given the volume of game material produced under the banner of earlier editions, Wizards of the Coast will never be able to update all of it to the new system. This discordance is very unfortunate for the Dungeon Master running a campaign set in the Forgotten Realms, for it is the vast quantity of Realmslore that makes Abeir-Toril feel like a living, breathing world.

  • Faith & Heresy
    Faith & Heresy By Ken Hart and Jeff LaSala Illustrations by Tyler Jacobson and Eric Belisle In a world where divine magic is real—witnessed in the ghostly light of a righteous brand or felt in the restorative power of healing word—faith takes on new meaning. No one disputes that divine prayers are granted or that higher powers exist. The more pro- found question concerns the nature of that divinity. Are deities the rightful masters of the universe, or mere pretenders to apocryphal power? To the laity and most of the population, they are the former, even if judicious prayers to multiple gods suggest none are viewed as omnipotent. To nonbelievers, the “gods” must be the latter: mighty immortals who presume to lord over creation with selfish ideals, bent on shaping the world according to their whims. They might be worthy of acknowledgment, but not of lifelong servitude. Clerics stand apart from these multitudes. They are champions of a particular faith or creed, focused on the cause that their deity or pantheon represents. Gods seldom intervene directly in the mortal world because they cannot or they care not. Clerics are instruments of their deities—speaking, acting, and fighting as mortal emissaries of their divine patrons. TM & © 2011 Wizards of the Coast LLC. All rights reserved. March 2011 | Dragon 397 1 Faith & Heresy The power to wield divine magic is assumed to training challenges, he or she comes to wield divine What Is Divine Power? come with commensurate responsibility.
