Well done, well done indeed, a very fine and accurate representation of the generous, kind-hearted and wonderful people in charge of our fair country who take their time from their incredibly busy schedules of running the said country, in order to sign my paycheck every single month, to us the hard-working, battle-hardened warrior veteran members of the Purple Dragon Army still in active service, who patrol the borders and keep the lands safe from all nr. of nasties while having to endure a whole bunch of dangers, then we must also return a certain amount of said money back to them! Should have remained a mercenary, BUT NOOOOOO, I had to follow my dumb ass cousin's advice, and where is he now, oh yeah in the belly of a hydra! But then again no one ever really thinks twice as to why bandit bodies looked like they were drained to the bone of blood before they were dismembered, or impaled!

I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of these videos. The majority of my campaigns within the Realms usually start in the Dale Lands so having this information as well as the other information you've provided about Cormyr is extremely helpful. Thank you!

Cormyr is an Interesting place. I've never been there myself. I've travelled the Sword Coast and have been far east to Rashemen. I hope to visit Cormyr some day

Played this setting 20 some years ago when AD&D started to drift into 3.5e The " Steel Regent " was still a battle front warlord, her siblings were out doing their own thing and the two of them refuse to visit the Queen Mother cause they were afraid Mother would Abdicate the Throne to one of them. The Queen Mother was in minor constant fear that one of her dead husband the King's bastard children would show up to claim the Throne for themselves. Orcs to the North and Drown are showing up in the North Eastern Deep Forest. Ran a campaign covering Ten Years of play. Starting out at age 18 years old and ending around 28 to 34 years of age. a.) Main character I had grew up with a few of his half siblings and did a military campaign for a full season with a "young Steel Regent " fighting to defend the Northern Boarder against the Orcs. His adventuring career lend him becoming a Pirate King, commanding a fleet of raiding ships. Setting up farming towns and shipyards in southern "safe zones." And sending troops and supplies Cormyr. It was a game shop with an open campaign setting so we had "player group vs players" as foes to mess up each other's conquest. So none of the shops DMs let us get away with Murder Hobo. i.) The worst part was the DMs cram nearly 200 years worth of history of Coin wealth inflation and money scams and con jobs into the game. ii.) wizards create Wall of Iron, turning the metal into weapons and armor with my " Imperial Seal," then after the troops get the equipment out into the field, it is hit with a Dispel Magic causing the crafted goods to vanish. " Loss of Reputation." iii.) wizard cast Wall of Iron/ gold/ silver. minting a wealth of coins for tax payment and troop paid. Then the troop pay just Vanish. " Greater Loss of Reputation." iv.) wizards Polymorph medium size fish into large cows, salt and smoke them into troop rations . First the food does not provide full nutrition value, then 1/8th of the food ration mass vanish. " Total Loss of Reputation !" Still ended the game as the First Emperor of Seven Kingdoms. No one else of the Imperial Council wanted the Title ! 2.) Secondary character, Half-celestial male drow wizard Loremaster son of the drow goddess Eilistraee and he became a leader of the Vhaeraun drow in the north eastern forest. A 14th-level wizard spell caster with rogue3rd/fighter4th. CR:21 " I was all a plot device character. I was like,' my mother/ father is who ? ! " I played character that wanted nothing to do with being a " Divine King of the Drow," of Cormyr so the Pc elected me as one and the DM more or less rail road the plot for my drow PC into being one. a.) I wanted my character to drink wine in the forest at night and magic a bunch of magic items that reshape the local landscape. But none of the other drow knew how to deal with " the humans," they elected my wizard to be the King. To play politics.. The Cormyr nobles basically hated the drow forest rogues acting like rangers protecting the eastern forest front from the orcs and ogres in the foot hills. And the drow flouted their standing in the Cormyr courts. Great time for roll playing.

Very good lore, and Excellent illustrations!!! Cheers

Here’s to you, sir! Another excellent production!!

I love these....I am a better DM because of you, thank you! Keep it up!

Very well done, huzzah!

Did you know her royal majesty Queen Raedra Obarskyr and I have been acquainted since she was 12!?

Love lore videos wish they were longer

As always awesome 😎👍🏼👍🏼💯

Oh... oh I picked the right place for Grazzt to sabotage.

Amazing and well done.

Just subscribed. Fun channel!!

This is awesome

Tyvm for this video

That 3 d map in the beginning. Is there somewhere I can find this? Great video, by the way!

Im currently playing Baldurs gate EE and this channel looks like it could help me understand the game's world better (this is my first encounter with the Forgotten Realms). Are there any spoilers in any of these videos regarding Baldurs gate 1-2?

Greetings everyone.

Cool, i would love to see all lore of Cormyryan Intrigues and more but this aint the place.

We need more lore! Please?

I'd love to see videos of the current state of the nation's of faerun if you have time to do something like that

I am playing a Purple Dragon Knight in a campaign. He is the second son of an Earl, and a bastard. The first son would be a Baron, but what would my character be? Would he have any title or even a claim to one? Or would he just be addressed as Sir Knight, or by his military rank of Lionar?

Sources, please? Especially regarding the dukes comment, because I remember seeing far more than two surnames among Dukes in the 2e material and haven't seen an update to that

quick question the nobility in cormyr is just for human families or some elven family also have this titles??

Make a patreon so we can give you money for more stuff!

How about using money to purchase a title?

Does anyone here play Neverwinter? I've been playing for about 3 weeks. It's an MMO that's free to play. It's based on the series of books.

Do you have a breakdown of the lineage of Cormyr's royalty to show successions ? I'd like to see what the breakdown is since King Azuon IV death ? I'm kinda confused as to his legitimate heirs and well as any info on his illegitimate heirs. My group is about to start a game in the months beginning after King Azuon IV is killed at the conclusion of the Goblin Wars. What would you recommend as a key reference resource on Cormyr of that time? I'm enjoying your videos and the presentation flow that you've created.

Where you go bro?

CORRECTION! CORRECTION!!!! The female version of Sir for knighthood is Dame!

I always pronounced it O-BAR-Skeer.

Great info, but the voice over seemed kinda forced.

"Pardon my Cormyrian" really doesn't explain pronouncing names completely differently from the way they are spelled on-screen.

This is why I am gonna run a campaign ...called the fall of the monarch system

First!!!
