Once, this was on the Wizards of the Coast website, and referenced on Candlekeep. It was moved, to who knows where, and I’m not sure an accurate link is currently available elsewhere on their site. I retrieved this information using the Wayback Machine. I subsequently edited for clarity.

I’m a sporadic visitor at the Candlekeep forums these days, and I’m in the nailbiting position of knowing that there’s a huge amount of information buried like gems in the “Questions For” various authors threads, and yet unable to keep up with the threads for any length of time. Attention-deficit-whatever is a real pain in the arse. Which makes the idea I had tonight rather amusing: I’m going to go through those threads, post by post, and add pages to this blog for as many items of relevant Realmslore as possible — with links to the Candlekeep posts, naturally.

The purpose of this project merits its own paragraph. I’m not making an index of Candlekeep’s forums. I’m incorporating what I can from those forums into my posts on this blog. Notably, I’m not indexing the questions/comments… only the relevant authors’ and designers’ replies. Basically I’m just treating the forums like another sourcebook… albeit one written in a sort of Q&A format, by a lot of different people.

A fruit, like a large ruby-hued grape. It’s one of the ingredients of elverquisst, and is found only in Evereska and a few hidden valleys elsewhere in Faerûn.
