    Well, I came across this guy again, and I wondered if anyone else had noticed this. I searched, and didn't really find anything talking about him, so hear is what happens.

    He is an NPC that comes up to you, and says a number of things. He is from Neverwinter, on his way to Waterdeep, or something like that.

    But anyway, on to the interesting part. He says "I...make it a point in keeping in touch with Neverwinter...It was quite popular in those nights."

    The first time I read that, I thought something was odd. Glancing back over it, I realized the idiomatic expression "in those days" was replaced with "in those nights".

    It appears that Lord Foreshadow was aptly named. Heh.

    I think he means 'Neverwinter Nights' (emphasis on nights).

    When I talked to him he spoke of Neverwinter and my character replied that that he heard of such a city but that he did not believe it existed. Lord Foreshadow replied - 'Well, not yet'. Hmmm...

    I'm sure that you also get information about Amn and Alkatha as well, saying that you really should visit there some time :) .

    He had to have been talking about Neverwinter Nights. He mentioned he had spent a night in Neverwinter before(The old 1993 version of NWN) and plans to spend a night there again. That's the jist of it as far as I remember.

    Don't forget about Pallonia


    PALLONIA:I know why you're here. It's the same reason everyone else comes to see me, and you shall get the same answer. I do NOT know when the iron shortage will let up, I have NO CLUE as to who controls the bandits in the area, and I have NO INTEREST in accompanying you to the gambling tables in Baldur's Gate.

    CHARNAME:pardon me, but if you do not trouble yourself with the events of the day, what purpose do your star-gazings serve?

    PALLONIA:What purpose? The Sword Coast is by no means the center of the universe. Lives and dramas are lived out across the Realms. There are lands closer than you would think that neither know nor care about our little problems.

    CHARNAME:And what of these lands? What intrigues lay beyond our borders?

    PALLONIA:Well, just across the southern mountains there are troubles brewing in great Amn that will make our current concerns seem small by comparison. To the far north there is a city where winter never rears its ugly head; a city that has not been seen nor heard from for many a year, but will soon welcome the return of a multitude of citizens. Both of these events will unfold regardless of our current troubles. Great may be our concerns, but much more is on the horizon. Leave me be, I have much to think upon.


    She is clearly referring to Baldur's Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights.

    Lord Foreshadow says "Oh no, I actually hail from Waterdeep." And then goes on to talk about Neverwinter and so on. Could this be a hint as to the storyline of neverwinter nights and the Waterdhavian creatures?

    I know, but sometimes these people from bioware work in mysterious ways. You never know what they were thinking when they were writing it... okay I admit, I just wanted to join in the conversation. I'm sorry, I'll leave now.....
