(Loosely based lore.)<br/>Suggestions include: Suzail, Westgate, Alaghôn, Lyrabar, Velprintalar (Veltalar), Cimbar, and Arrabar.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">YOUR MOTHER</span></strong> was told a different story. Whether she believed the Bard's story or not, she gleaned some observations of her own. The Bard was a human on the run from someone or something. The Bard had a sweet-tooth and never drank. The Bard's tongue was silver like his eyes. Where there were Bard Colleges, troupes, orchestras, and operas ongoing, there he went. With details such as these engraved in mind, you took on quests that only concerned you in hopes of finding your father.  <br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">THE GOLDEN GOBLIN</span></strong> was the tavern famed for regular brawls in <strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">THE CAPITAL OF CORMYR, SUZAIL</span></strong>. It was Flamerule, the 7th month of the Faerunian year also known as Summertide. On the 30th night by sunset, you wound up here where you would hear and accept what may be your most important quest yet, one involving the largest gorseddau of bards yet at <span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>THE PROMENADE</strong></span>, a long semi-circular street that divided the Royal Palace area from the rest of the city. Midsummer was a festival that celebrated love and music through feast. It occurred between Flamerule 30 and Eleasis 1, except on leap years where it was followed by a leap year day, Shieldmeet. Shieldmeet traditionally was used for fairs, bazaars, musical and theatrical performances, and tournaments of skill and magical ability. Nobles usually held court to hear the petitions of their people and to make or renew trade pacts, alliances, and agreements. This year 1384 was a leap year thus the festival will last two sweltering hot days and nights. Midsummer and Shieldmeet have drawn in a great procession of minstrels and instrumentalists. Among the most charismatic of them just may be your father.</div></div></div><br/><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GAME RULES</div><div class="spoiler_body">1.
