They were usually slim, muscular wolves, with fearsome-looking teeth, and black eyes that lacked the red tinge that ordinary wild wolves had.[1] Their innate magical abiliti

The main disadvantage of maxoris was the strong musty taste it imparted to meat, overriding any other taste it might have and causing severe revulsion in some people. It found some popularity outside of Proskur am

Forgotten Realms WikiToreusToreus was a garrison turned trading city in Chessenta.[2] This city was known for its assertive business strategies, and went as far as trading with marauding pirates and criminals. The other cities in the region disdained such tactics, as Toreus appeared to openly defy the laws of Chessenta; even a Red Wizard enclave was allowed to operate within.[2] Coins not minted in or accepted in other places in Chessenta were accepted in this settlement and could be used to purchase practically anything.
