Who's Aribeth?

Ah. I see. I think I understand the notion, but if an approach to a map is changing it along with its respective lore, then I prefer just making my own cities alltogether. It's part of the realms lore that not everything is a gigantic floating city. There are those of Netheril if you want some.
Probably. An author once wrote this piece of conversation:
"Wait? You can transform matter. Thats magic." "Your people can use metal to fly over buildings." "Of course they can. It makes perfect sense."
Having a world, where "magic" actually exist raises a lot of questions about some conventional expressions and cultural aspects.
Yeah. I've seen some of it and it looks quite promising. Unfortunately, I'm one of those DMs who, for the love of his life, can't make a campaign with self-made stuff as it always ends in hyper fixation and over preparing on some parts, but complete lack of direction in others. I'm trying to get better, but modules just take of so much of that pressure, allowing me to fill in the gaps with actually well thought out content.
But if any DM wants to run a campaign in the places I so smugly called the ,,forgotten" part of the realms, then I'm always happy to see it.
Where is this city?
I'm afraid I don't have the time to do so right now, but thanks for the suggestion.
I think its strongly connected to how many of your campaigns use modules, as with the exception of ToA, every module settled in the material plane takes place in the colored region and near it. And as lore for the 15th century DR is only well developed for the sword coast, I personally tend to stage my campaigns there.
Ironically enough, I've had campaigns where just doing what the priestess suggested would have been a better solution than what the party ended up deciding to do.
Thats funny, because I've seen some DMs where nobody cares wether or not lvl. 10, they still treat you as if you were lvl. one and don't know sh*t about you. (Mainly in campaigns where the characters travel a lot. I still find it weird. Rumors spread quickly.)
Try this one. As the comments of the post say, it's not entirely up to date, but it works well enough.
They could also just make different adventures in different parts of the Faerun. But they'd have to actually update they're lore then.
Clerics have a more elegant way to do that.
Oh. That sounds very interesting. Thanks.
