• ChloeLorde traveled back in time to the Eileanar enclave. She visited the Netheril Mint to collect some of the city's pyramidal currency, learned of its magical anti-counterfeiting prismatic effects from Elgiva and Evemerus, and passed Debac's security measures. Next, she visited Gallery Steamers to purchase a flying ship from Stuckley for a ready escape from the Fall of Netheril. (Spoiler: everyone died.)
• SunderedShor became tongue-tied as he documented the different non-human languages, from Pixie, Dryadic, and Treantish to K'azz'jak'n (the language of neogi) and more, and even got to the bottom of the Alignment languages. (Are they made up entirely of political dog whistles?)
• ItalianKarsus got entangled in intrigues in Suzail, running into such colorful characters as the ruthless dual-wand-wielding War Wizard Kelgantor, the rowdy nobleman Kathkote Dawntard, the club owner known only as Tress, and even the pet stirge known as Thirsty. (Maybe it's an emotional support stirge.)
• We say well met to DM of Dragons, who stopped by Inn Plain Sight, and XStelliferous, who paid a discreet visit to Mother Salinka's House of Pleasure. We also welcome ContactOfSolitude, who rode in on a Demon Grinder from Fort Knucklebone and then wrote of Ladies Khara Sulwood and Mareldraea Hawkguard, two wise rulers of Shadowdale.
• Meanwhile, Tomlesss delved into the dark history of House Thorm; Weisguar followed the Wind Walk through the Sunset Mountains; EngineerDali collected guano at Gull Rocks in the Sea of Swords; and Zeromaru X returned to Akanûl to visit New Breen, Deepspur, and Lake Akax.

  In Juniper's Companion to Venturesome Cookery, halfling wizard Juniper Churlgo (brought to life by Artyom.pavlov) cooks up minty wine sausages from Tethyr.
• In our Legacy of the Green Regent campaign, our heroes seek a sage for advice on what they have and what to do next. They chose the crotchety professor with lots of cats. Can she tell them anything they don't already know?
• And introducing Personal Demon by BadCatMan, a novella-length tale of possession, despair, struggle, and hope at the Yawning Portal, with three chapters up already. It's dark fantasy with depth and soul.
• Now, braeunk vhos trolkh, as hobgoblins say farewell ("if you die while I'm gone, do it quietly," so poetic).

Earthfast was a shield dwarven city in the Earthfast Mountains between Impiltur and the Vast, stretching from a high mountain valley down to the Earthroot area of the Underdark. It was a war-torn place, under constant siege from orcs and goblins in the 14th century DR. Though much of the city was abandoned, it was home to Alagh Rorncaurak, the Battlecavern of Unquenched Valor, a vast chasm and natural cathedral to the god Clangeddin Silverbeard and a key defense of the city.

Unending war took a terrible toll on the dwarves. Many women and children were slain, leaving men who all honored their parents as war-heroes. Earthfast dwarves were battle-hardened veterans, grim and moody sorts who worked and fought in utter silence, seeing stealth as a virtue and vital defense. They were even head-hunters, seizing the skulls of foes and stacking them in tidy pyramids in a great cavern. The greater the foe, the better the skull.

Nevertheless, Earthfast was an honorable ally who would still come to another's aid. They were allies of Impiltur early in its history. Centuries later, after befriending the renegade "Mithril Princess" Alusair of Cormyr, who helped break the siege, Earthfast dwarves joined King Azoun IV in his Crusade against the Tuigan Horde, defending and saving all of Faerûn at high cost to themselves.
