I am always thrilled to cover more about the Seven Sisters and to do it in a way that allows me to tell stories like these is so much fun! Which of the Seven should I cover next? Please consider supporting my work on Patreon so we can all continue building worlds together: patreon.com/EdGreenwood
Ed, it is mesmerising to listen to your stories! Pick any of the sisters, maybe startjng with Alassra and Alustriel, but really, any will do! Thank you so much for your work, sir! 😊
Since we dated back in the 1370s, my journey across the planes have left me yearning to know what has become of her in over 100 years.. Lady Alustrial ❤❤
A potentially interesting idea to explore would be what kind of missions could Seven Sisters sent the adventurers to and what kinds of benefits working for each would entail. Your videos about them made me realize they're great as party's patrons, but I do not think this angle was explored beyond Dungeon of the Mad Mage.
7:15 "Care to change your mind? For there's clearly something amiss with the one you have" What a great line (merciful and sassy is a pretty good combination) 👌
I still remember reading Spellfire as a teen, there was a part where hired thugs still had the silver they were paid in their pockets. They never got to spend any of it. That was a great little bit of world building that showed how desperate, greedy and stupid men were willing to do evil things. Really made me think about how there are so many different types of bandits that could be a part of my game.
Greetings Mr. Ed. Greenwood, I truly hope that you will bring more information about Lord Ao someday, until that day, continue doing this great job of telling more history's of the realms.
@@notabannedaccount8362 I understand your point of view, but having more information about something that has nothing written is not taking away the mystery of such a cosmic entity. It is a question that we need to go deeper into the subject to have a better understanding, since in all official material there is almost nothing written about it. And the answers brought by the understanding of the subject will not always completely clarify what is in question. There is a famous quote about this: “I know only one thing - that I know nothing”. Socratic ignorance is almost all we know about such a fictional character, and it is also all we know.
I'm glad you're doing these videos. May your channel grow so those common to know your works may enjoy a deeper understanding of the lore you have made. It's a pity we don't have as many creators of lore from the past able to do this.
Some people, like Kaldren, just can not be told. Ha ha!! Thanks for another great story Ed. My vote for the next of the Seven for a story would be Laeral.
@UC2h_kfcdWMXdIS5tpBHdPJw She was far more peaceful and giving them outs more than I would have. Although I think it was not ideal to make the soon to be dead leader of the bandits to underestimate our MC just because she's a woman. That could have been handled a bit better I am sorry to report to you Mr. Greenwood. The culture norms of the Realms is not what we have here in the real world. If she was clearly a non combatant then yes he could have underestimated her, but she was obviously well armed and armored and female adventures are well known to everyone. How I would do it, is that he would accept her claim to be one of the sisters and challenge to a fight. Stating that killing that dragon shows he is worthy of challenging a chosen one. The result of the fight would be the same but in his dying words is that he knew what he got into and accept the consequences, just as much as she would the same. As he expected the fight was to the death. I do have a few other versions of this situation in mind as well if you want to know them Mr. Greenwood.
Hello Ed, speaking of outlaws and chosens, I just learned that Elminister was an outlaw then Mystra turned him to a woman named Elmara to strengthen his bond with magic. This raised a question in my gnogin which is, is magic in the realms feminin? Is it considered a feminin trait? why did she make him a woman to strengthen this bond? Thank you in advance.
The Bean-thra are easily four times the size of the rothe. Their name means “demon ram” to the goblins brave, or foolish, enough to herd and train them. Sages believe that they are a fae branch of the rothe family, who live on open plains and steppes primarily, which is the origin of the goblin name for them, due to lack of cosmological education. The hair of a desert bean-thra, which brushes away their tracks, is the source of rope and cloth as strong and soft as silk, assuming you can convince the goblins who herd them to shear their bean-thra to make it.

@@IdiotinGlans Sounds like a great idea!
My nephew walked up behind me and said who the heck is that? Then he said Ed looks like a wizard. 😄
He *does* have a certain passing resemblance to the well-known Elminster of Shadowdale, doesn't he? 😋
That is Elminster.
If he only knew.

Thanks greatly for sharing another wonderful story.
Another good story.
Oh I can use this! Nice.
Excellent video Sir Greenwood!
Awesome, Realmslore.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and words with us❤
Everytime Ed posts a video I give my players Inspiration
What a wonderful story. What a wonderful heroine

No! He should remain a mystery.

@@MichaelLennondeMoura Gotten too used to Wizards of the Coast ruining his work. You're right - Ed would definitely do Ao justice.

Love these videos, makes me miss 3rd edition so much, can we get a video on the Pereghost of Darkhold or the tuigan horde/war
Ooooh now this is nice. I approve.

Thank you! 😃
If you are wanting to tell more stories of lore about the Seven Sisters, can I suggest…Storm?
So early I beat the first Sundering 💪💪
Can we hear more about Storm? She was my favorite of the seven.
Mr. Greenwood, A question. Did the sisters learn of, or been targeted by early fire arms before?
@UC2h_kfcdWMXdIS5tpBHdPJw She was far more peaceful and giving them outs more than I would have.

Stand around in the snow until you eat them? Sounds like orcs to me.

Everyone knows the proper pronunciation of rothé is ban-tha.
The Bean-thra are easily four times the size of the rothe. Their name means “demon ram” to the goblins brave, or foolish, enough to herd and train them. Sages believe that they are a fae branch of the rothe family, who live on open plains and steppes primarily, which is the origin of the goblin name for them, due to lack of cosmological education.

I still use my Akira bike all the time, unless I'm going off road. It's just the fastest and coolest way to get anywhere in thw city.
