Been a while since we had a good lore video on my favorite D&D setting! Top quality as ever my friend, and the Gods be praised knowing that you are continuing to make videos!
Awesome content! Thanks for sharing. You mentioned the Order of the Gauntlet and the Lords Alliance. Who are they and do they have as much background as what you presented here? You got another subscriber!
Hi, I love these videos :D ,but I was wondering if there will be similar army videos on the other factions of faerun? Like the Lord's alliance or the Gauntlet? Though there are a variety of factions out there :D
My guess, Money - But more importantly, I think the Zhentarim would win. The other factions are small task oriented organizations, spy and trade networks. Zhentarim is a professional army, with a spy and trade arm.
The wait is always woth it ! Great video once again ! Out of pure curiosity do you perhaps plan on doing anything about gods, faiths, churches ? (enough matter for quite a serious amount of videos for sure^^)
Someone didn’t do enough research! The original Forgotten Realms boxed set clearly states that the Zhentilar are the army of Zhentil Keep, a city in the Moonsea. Conversely the Zhentarim are a coalition of evil mages and pride sta with mercantile interests who, while originally based in Zhentil Keep are not the official government of that city and have far more widely varied interests.
Yeah, it's just annoying that these topics are overlooked, which makes me feel like Dm/players, won't tend to use these settings for games and backstory. I'm running a sea campaign where my players are hopping through the Isles of the Swordcoast: Ruathym, the Mooshae achipeligo, and the Nelanthers. But once they are done there, I was planning to do a south to north coastal run with them. Now one of my players( first timer) specifically wanted a character analogous to a combat veteran with PTSD. He knows very little to nothing about Faerun and it's history, but he does know what it's like to serve in an army in the desert. So I helped him build his backstory to some degree. His character is a veteran of the Second Skyfire War, that kicked off when Calim and Memnon were released from their prisons during the spellplague. Sadly I've had very little source material that discusses these events, so I've had to "wing it." But I do want to address this essential part of his character development when the party reaches Calimport. If you have any insight or recommended source material that could help on the matter, I would greatly appreciate the input.
would LOVE to see the history of Oerth and Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms is great, but tired of gaming the same world over and over and novel after novel of Forgotten Realms
thanks for the great videos! any love for a video about WEREWOLVES, boars, bears, bats,rats, crocodiles, etc. just lycanthropy in general in the realms please. LYCANTHROPY
The best Forgotten Realms channel. Period.

Very well made as well comrades, thanks for the lore explanation
Idk how noone commented but yes exactly!
My first encounter with Zhentarim were Xzar and Montaron in Baldur's gate
Montaron! I... I never loved you!
Wew, a lot has changed from the era of Fzoul Chembryl and Lord Orbakh
The fall of Zhentil keep hit them hard. Had to re-imagine themselves - Now they are upstanding business men.
You missed one more...Manshoon

You guys do a wonderful work. Thank you very much!
Its good to see this channel back.
Glad you're getting active again. Your videos are both gorgeous and informative.

Good afternoon. Your videos are really great. I edited a caption for Brazilian Portuguese and I sent you! 👍
Congrats on the job.
Approved and published, thanks for the help.

FINALLY! Hoping for a history and lore video for the Zhentarim next.
Faerûn History Yes sir! Even more!
yes please!
Welcome back!
I love these video's... totally badass!
I hope to see more videos soon again💯👍🏼😎
Thank your Thank you Thank you for being back ❤❤❤
awesome video

Totally working this in my campaign.
Hard to imagine that the Pereghost is as low as 12 in character level.
Level does not make the man (charisma does :P)
@@ForgottenRealmsHistory Yeah! Plus he's a Cyricist, so maybe he just lied his character level with a real high bluff roll...
@@UnclePutte That's metagamey as hell
A character can be 5th level aristocrat and still be king and command great armies
An enjoyable video. I love thus stuff.
Different names but the same icons per rank as Cormyr has. 8O
I’d be super interested to see a full scale war between the 5 factions, and what would motivate such a war
My guess, Money - But more importantly, I think the Zhentarim would win. The other factions are small task oriented organizations, spy and trade networks. Zhentarim is a professional army, with a spy and trade arm.
Check up the red war, it is kinda happening :P
Love this.
The wait is always woth it ! Great video once again ! Out of pure curiosity do you perhaps plan on doing anything about gods, faiths, churches ? (enough matter for quite a serious amount of videos for sure^^)
Listening to these makes me sad no new videos are made. 😟😟😟
Interesting
The Lords' Alliance next please :D
Aww okay I'll wait

Hoping you'll do a video on Calimshan, Memnon and the Genie Caliphate

Are you Elminster? Or Volo? You know so much!
Boa tarde. Seus vídeos são ótimos mesmo. Editei uma legenda para o português do Brasil e te enviei! 👍
Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Muito obrigado por ajudar nós Br.

Next adventure,... i hire a Platoon for Escort. XD
Money, fame, glory, food and drink but of course killing, lots of it, good times,.....why did I leave again,
Real life , can be a draining problem for our DM’s .
Do you have a Patreon account? Your videos are well done and I would like to contribute.
Hi! May I ask you the source of troops pay?
Thanks!
where do you get all this information?
I'd really like some source material for all this if anyone has it.
Mostly taken from Ruins of Zhentil Keep and Powers of Faerûn.
@@ForgottenRealmsHistory Thanks a ton, bud.
The Harpers disliked this video.
Only 2 of them, so I think its not spread into their ranks yet :)
wher is the lore of rushamen?
Hopefully it wont take to long, i love rus and i want to learn more abote them
would LOVE to see the history of Oerth and Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms is great, but tired of gaming the same world over and over and novel after novel of Forgotten Realms
Never played in those, nor read any books or adventures... so might not show up on my channel.
The channel is literally called Forgotten Realms History...
Do you have a face book page?
I do, its here: facebook.com/FaerunHistory/ - However, be aware that I am not super active there.
Why are we using a cute lil kobold to represent the "shadier practices" of a super evil organization?!
thanks for the great videos!
any love for a video about WEREWOLVES, boars, bears, bats,rats, crocodiles, etc. just lycanthropy in general in the realms please. LYCANTHROPY
