Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode 52: Lady Mage of Waterdeep, part 2.

Apologies, not very meme-y this time, still submitting for the sake of completion and popular demand :)

Our intrepid adventurers befriend Laeral Silverhand, and get to know the fames Lady Mage of Waterdeep from a different, personal side. It’s very much a Laeral special, lovingly consulted with the man, the legend, Ed Greenwood. It saddens me that so many D&D players only know Laeral superficially, if at all.

“Ruler of Waterdeep” “Oh, she’s a powerful wizard and very old, isn’t she?” And that’s about the extend of most players’ knowledge… She’s a truly fascinating character who’s walked Faerun for over 7 centuries, with beautiful, oft heart-wrenching stories to tell. I do hope my little hints at but a handful of events from her past will encourage a few people to at least read up about her on the Forgotten Realms Wiki, or better yet, reach for the many amazing books by Ed Greenwood or Steven E. Schend.

    It’s a “new adult body”, not a “newly adult body”. I’m not sure having a new body resets your age. Though if nothing else, getting a long-lived body means you won’t have to cast Clone as often.

    Also, I looked into it and it looks like the people she’s talking about died before 5e. In 3.5, it was a lot harder to undo aging. There was an epic feat for it, and I suppose Clone and Reincarnate arguably might work, but it didn’t say they do, and neither could bring someone back that had already died of old age.
