Committments to other non-Realms related pursuits I'd imagine, along with that thing we like to call "real-life." I'm not really sure in Eric's case... he just sort of stopped visiting Candlekeep around late 2008.

Thanks so much for the new lore. As someone who spends most of his time on is back and on heavy medication, I know how hard it is to be creative. That you were able to put this together in such a state, is a tribute to your genius and your efforts.

Thanks, I love Orva, it's unique. Palace Beyond Time is a great concept.

Also, why all maps of the Realms in ancient times have so much forested areas?

Great lore, thanks Snowblood!

Just a curiosity: why don't you use FR fonts in your documents? Are these fonts under copyright or is it your choice?

"Adventurers are best used to slay monsters. Sooner or later, they become your worst monsters, and you have to hire new ones to do the obvious thing" - Ralderick Hallowshaw, Jester - from To Rule A Realm, From Turret To Midden, published circa The Year of the Bloodbird

And forgive me for my bad use of English language!

just choice I guess....just like I dont use FG or D&D or Wizards logos its one thing to produce lore for the realms but quite another to trumpet it as anything official or linked or supported directly by wotc.......I'm trying to avoid The C&D email.....

@Snowblood - Is this solely a compilation of official source, or are there add-ons from home brew?
Either way, it darn cool.

Great lore! But I have a doubt: is there any indication that Orva was an elf kingdom
(besides the link between Chronus and Labelas Enoreth?). I'm asking this because the FR Wiki states that Orva used the Thorass alphabet, so I thought it was an human kingdom.
