Have you ever run a session that involved Aglarond? Perhaps dealings with a Thayan that might have informed your party about what it's like there? Please consider supporting me on Patreon so I can continue to bring you all new Realmslore and more: patreon.com/EdGreenwood
I ran one years ago dedicated to full Altumbelese independence. This was in the 1300s, which meant they were *really* putting themselves at risk given the actions of Thay at the time, but my players managed to make it work... for a while.
the 2nd edition Thay boxed set back in the day was our campaign. 💗 Both Rasheman and Aglarond formed an alliance with the party's help. They ripped apart a slave plantation, defeated a red wizard but couldn't advance any further than the first ridge of the plateau. That set the stage for an all out invasion that lasted 7 months. Then the Halruaans got involved.. it was glorious chaos!
Volume on this vid was much better than the previous. Cheers. Odd that the city has allowed Red Wizards to be in it. I wouldn't allow them to cross the border
I swear if we didnt know better, you'd think he's making this shit up as he goes along. I love how all of this is a living memory inside him, reminds me of Tolkein when he's speaking about Middle Earth.
Thanks for posting this. Aglarond is an area I'm not too familiar with, in general. This will definitely give me a lot to think about, and sounds like a fun place to set an adventure that's not on the Sword Coast. Interactions with the elves of the Yuirwood would be quite fascinating as well.
@@snieves4 Sweet. This past year I’ve had a group loitering on the north side of the Moonsea. Good times! We’ve since gone to space, though I’d love to explore other parts of Faerun. Lyrabar would be an interesting city to go to as well.
What is this getup? What is this immaculate rizz? So cool, so impressive! Now I just want to see Ed in a wizard robe with a pointy hat and a staff. Maybe pondering an orb. Oh, a man can dream. (Also yes the video is good too)
Great information. My D&D adventuring group is based out of the town of Mesring .(predominantly halfling population) Northeast of the the Yuirwood and southwest of the river Umber.
I’ve been doing some reading on Eberron and I noticed a mention of the Prince of Frost, even though Eberron is separate from the rest of the multiverse. The description and lore seem to be the same as the Prince of Frost in the Realms, but with minor differences to fit the setting. I’m curious which version of the Prince was the original and published first, as well as how much influence does the Prince of Frost have on the Realms. Also, I’d love to see a video about Murghôm.
Murghôm is in the list of videos to do in the future (the spring of 2024, perhaps). The Prince of Frost was first introduced into D&D in the 4th edition Manual of the Planes, before Keith's Dragon article on him, which in turn was before he appeared in the Neverwinter: Sharandar computer game. The Realms version of him first appeared after that, in the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide...but the character is from Shakespeare, and the sources he drew on. In the Realms, he has little influence because Auril detests his intrusion into "her" ice and cold, and there are many others who guard against archfey "meddling too much" in the Realms. His attention isn't bent on the Realms, but rather on the Raven Queen.
Thanks for this. I’ve been working on a publishable version of a campaign I ran where my players are hired to search for the Simbul’s hidden treasures, and knowing more about what Aglarond currently looks like canonically helps immensely.
To me, it's an adventure to find episodes of things that I enjoy in "binge watch " Era. Whenever I watch, it helps me to "like" it on the 1st watch at some point, then I know if I have or have not seen it. And here we go.
Great video on the Simbrachs. But quick question: can the Simbul be the next of the Seven Sisters you talk about please? I always thought she was the most intriguing of them all and wondered if there was any secret lore about her that you never got to publicly but are willing to share
Found this video because I'm planning to run a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign in southern Aglarond and was looking for background on the region. Happy to see Ed is still providing amazing FR lore.
My friend 子虚子 has a birthday coming up, and he really enjoys the realm you write, and he often translates the stories and the Q&A's on your Twitter feed. Can you give him a birthday wish here?
I know you usual deal in forgotten realms but can someone get the wotc tell why Kali is in Abyss and if that version of her is a false one or a courrupted version.

Gods .. it still surprises me the Thayans managed to set up one of their enclaves in Aglarond of all places XD

Listening to the Sage and painting my warhammer. Life is good
I've got a half-elf from Aglarond in our current campaign (Tyranny of Dragons). Elven father, human mother.
Aglarond always was my favourite area in the FR, just after the Silver Marches and Neverwinter-Luskan!
How do you not have hundreds of thousands more subscribers?
Baffling. So glad I found this channel!

Ive been running games beyond the Sword Coast in the last few months. So much more to Toril.

Since I'm doing a Saltmarsh campaign next to the Vilhon Reach, this is amazing timing!! Thank you sir Greenwood!!
Thanks Ed! ❤
Wonderful Ed!! Too bad the OGL dissuaded me from developing the Legacy Series.. 😢 There's still a part of me that dwells in the realms of 1371DR. 😊
Love the placement of the two books sir!
That is a very dapper shirt and bracers ❤
It's really quite amazing the details you create in these cities within your world.
Love all of Ed's videos of course, but particularly like the format of this one. Nice little history lesson about a place idea never heard of

I've recorded vids on others of the Seven that you'll see before I can get to The Simbul, but I WILL get to her.
@@edgreenwoodofficial Cool😎
Ed Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for this new Thrilling Adventure!!
Awesome video! Love the details about Aglarond! It would be a really cool place to visit in a game.
i do enjoy all these villages as they help to flesh out the history

Awesome... Do Dambrath next!
It won't be next as there are other places "in the can," but it is on my "get to soon" list.
I need way more of this in my feed.
Lol I just ran in aglarond 6 m9mths ago. I'll be interested to see if anything lines up
Uf. The first and the last campaign that i played in 3.5 were in Aglarond. Amazing stories.
Thank you so much! Needed a region near to Thay, my Thay Wizard spy coud say he came from ;)
A comment for the numbers brother
That's it, I'm selling my Pathfinder book and getting 5e, still have all my 3rd editions book!!!
How would you stat a Simbach if a player wanted to play one? Are they wizards or sorcerers? Or something else entirely?
Dont forget to SUBSCRIBE.

Done! (On Twitter.)
Just bring back the Simbul anyway. 4E was a mistake.
I know you usual deal in forgotten realms but can someone get the wotc tell why Kali is in Abyss and if that version of her is a false one or a courrupted version.
Same reason they have Hecate in the Nine Hells.
@@Frostflame29 bruh what !? I didn't even know that
Wait! That chunky dragon is canon?!
Ask ED. How do you say "REMORHAZ." Thanks !.
"Rem-MORE-has" ;}
Why doesn't Dnd not have Merlin as a Character.
Sometimes I feel the names are being pushed needlessly towards the hilariously difficult to pronounce.
