The Woman Made of Air on the Road to Kheldell | A Traveller’s Guide to the Forgotten Realms

Falrien continues south with Corvan Pell’s caravan, skirting the dangerous edge of Kryptgarden on the long road toward Kheldell. After days of rain, boredom, tressym-related trouble, and the oppressive presence of the forest, Falrien turns his attention to Nhalis: a junior air genasi wizard travelling with the caravan. What begins as curiosity about a simple alarm spell becomes a wider question: What is magic, actually? This episode explores the Weave, Mystra’s present order, the different ways spellcasters touch magic, and why magic in the Forgotten Realms is rare, dangerous, governed, and unevenly felt by ordinary people. It also begins to touch on what it means to be planetouched - a thread that will continue when the caravan reaches Kheldell. A Traveller’s Guide to the Forgotten Realms is a long-form travelogue series following Falrien Sunesson, a wandering half-elven scholar writing letters to his patron, Lord Sandrier, as he journeys through Faerûn.
