The Forgotten Realms is full of powerful NPCs. This is sort of a function of history: lots of characters from Greenwood’s homebrew campaign have been immortalized in the setting. Others come from the bazillion novels. But when it comes down to it, it makes sense that a world so full of nations and organizations would need important people with hands the various tillers to steer.

The Code of the Harpers (1993) is Ed Greenwood’s rundown of one such organization, the semi-secret Harpers, who generally uplift the downtrodden and foil the schemes of villains and monsters when they encounter them. As rich and varied as the Realms are, it sometimes seems like everyone in it is either a Harper, a member of the Zhentarim network (essentially the evil opposite of the Harpers) or a drow. This book is a pretty exhaustive detailing of important Harpers (and because they are everywhere, it also doubles as a general lorebook and gazetteer). There’s like millions of them, and they can all kick you PC’s butts.

I love the idea of a good secret society — its almost always the villains plotting in the shadows — but the Harpers seem a little too omnipresent. They also…aren’t very cool. I think Greenwood is going for something like Strider — a guy people are careful around, who might be a bad guy, but it really a good guy. In practice, though, the Harpers…are good guys. They smile a lot. They seem pretty confident. There doesn’t seem to be much of a cost for their goodliness. The fact that nearly everyone in the book seems to be having such a good time is enough for me to root for the baddies, honestly.

Quick little thing about a Harper investigating the supposed resurgence in Bhaal’s cult- too bad for them a certain Enver Gortash heard about it and tipped them off

MOSHFEGH: Were you obsessed with watching your face age?

MCKENNA: Oh yeah, like all women, of course. It’s a horror show. It’s shocking, to see the body fall away. And there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

MOSHFEGH: Yeah, I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. These days I’m feeling really in love with myself, basically. I think it’s because I’m finally mature enough to appreciate who I am. But it took a long time. I always felt like there was something disgustingly wrong with me, you know?

MCKENNA: It’s wonderful that you got past that.

MOSHFEGH: It’s not like a certainty every day. But maybe because of that, the aging thing is kind of adorable to me right now.

MCKENNA: Wow.

MOSHFEGH: I don’t know. On my best days I see myself like an animal. And when you love an animal you don’t start hating it because it isn’t a puppy anymore. It’s beautiful in another way.

MCKENNA: That’s a great way to look at it.

The Harpers of Waterdeep! 🗡 (Eric, Diego and Lyanna) Yeah, that's their dynamic. Lyanna is not that easy to get along with. But at least Diego's trying... kind of

An illumination from a book of hours, sixteenth century © Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

* * * *

“Genesis acknowledges a crucial variable that is not present in the Babylonian epics—human culpability. To have been too noisy is more anodyne, even, than to have tasted an apple. But Adam and Eve disobeyed, doubted, tried to deceive. These are all complex acts of will. The old Christian theologies spoke of felix culpa, the fortunate fall. This is, in effect, another name for human agency, responsibility, even freedom. If we could do only those things God wills, we would not be truly free—although to discern the will of God and act on it is freedom. Our human nature as fallen and our human nature as divine have a dynamic, asymptotic relation with each other. The centrality of humankind in the creation myth of Genesis is from the beginning an immeasurable elevation of status, made meaningful in the fact of our interacting with God even at the level of sacred history. This is unique to the Bible and central to both Testaments. Could Moses really have refused to return to Egypt? Might Judas have refused to betray Jesus, who knew he must be betrayed? All this is related to the fact that the Bible does not exist to explain away mysteries and complexities but to reveal and explore them with a respect and restraint that resists conclusion.”

Meet Shumai Myagi. Simon's cute, adorable, beautiful boyfriend. Like Simon being based on Kokichi, Shumai is based on Shuichi. I commissioned @lilyearte to make this for me and he's perfect. I love him so much!

A Peaceful Elf

Part XX

The ground beneath your feet kicked up into the air with each step, twirling in small eddies of the lifeless breeze like chalk dust. The cold hung from your skin and a subtle fear stirred in your chest that you hadn’t felt since—since you were a child with a nightmare. The recollection took your focus until a dark silhouette flitted past, only a foot away from your torch. You inched closer to the center of the group, a little overwhelmed at the memory of a nightmare and at the existence of one before you. The shadows gathered like a horde before your retreating light. You stifled a whimper. Villains made of bleeding flesh and breakable bone were trifles you savored; this—this was something you had no frame of reference for.

So apparently, Edgin, Chris Pine's character in the upcoming D&D Honor Among Thieves film not only does not have any magical powers, but is not the 'lusty bard' character, according to Pine.

I can excuse being a Harper, but I draw the line at not being a slut.
