•ChloeLorde traveled back in time to the Eileanar enclave. She visited the Netheril Mint to collect some of the city's pyramidal currency, learned of its magical anti-counterfeiting prismatic effects from Elgiva and Evemerus, and passed Debac's security measures. Next, she visited Gallery Steamers to purchase a flying ship from Stuckley for a ready escape from the Fall of Netheril. (Spoiler: everyone died.)
•SunderedShor became tongue-tied as he documented the different non-human languages, from Pixie, Dryadic, and Treantish to K'azz'jak'n (the language of neogi) and more, and even got to the bottom of the Alignment languages. (Are they made up entirely of political dog whistles?)
•ItalianKarsus got entangled in intrigues in Suzail, running into such colorful characters as the ruthless dual-wand-wielding War Wizard Kelgantor, the rowdy nobleman Kathkote Dawntard, the club owner known only as Tress, and even the pet stirge known as Thirsty. (Maybe it's an emotional support stirge.)

We also welcome ContactOfSolitude, who rode in on a Demon Grinder from Fort Knucklebone and then wrote of Ladies Khara Sulwood and Mareldraea Hawkguard, two wise rulers of Shadowdale.

were rare but renowned magical stones and gems that orbited their owner's heads and bestowed a wide variety of powers and enhancements according to their shape, color, and composition. They could only be crafted by experienced spellcasters well-versed in the creation of magical items. Only certain gems could be used, known collectively as "the nine secrets", though there were at least ten. Some unique ioun stones carried essences and souls from once-living beings, which gave them their power.
They were first created in the year −3462 DR by the precocious young Netherese arcanist Congenio Ioun, marking him as one of the greatest arcanists of his age. By the 14th century, ioun stones were much desired and highly valued, though Congenio Ioun himself had been long-forgotten, with only his name surviving in his creation. Great collections were found in Athalantar, on the Wyvern Crown of Cormyr, and around the head of the mighty lich Larloch, the Shadow King of Warlock's Crypt.
Who Will Save Existence?
