After the Fairies caused a stir, Hill settled into a quiet life.
Yet Toril—Faerûn in particular—could not remain calm.
Goddess Edna was quite decisive. She directly claimed Hidden Town as her holy ground and even left an avatar there to serve as its mayor in all seriousness!
Although she had deliberately made the avatar look like a child who differed greatly from her own appearance, she was still a goddess!
The Magic Weave mages fell into confusion.
Still, they were merely uncertain whether they should travel all the way to the forest at the foot of the Spine of the World to pay their respects to a goddess walking among mortals.
The mages of Shadowdale's Twisted Tower, meanwhile, sank into stagnant silence. Compared with their teacher, they still remembered what they had done before Lady Edna.
Even if the goddess did not care about the stupidity of minor fry like them... they certainly did!
For ordinary mages like them, they might only have one chance in their entire lives to meet the Goddess of Magic. Yet not only had they left the goddess with the impression of being two-faced, one face had "idiot" written on it and the other had "moron"!
The Seven Sisters of the Northlands, who no longer had the energy to care about their students' feelings, remained in Luskan. After suppressing Shalor's incessant sobbing, they nervously sent Mystra a letter requesting an audience.
Although Mystra's Cyclamen Castle had a library open to mages throughout the world... and although the goddess had not imposed any requirements, that Floating Castle above the clouds had no Floating Elevator for visitors to use.
There were only two ways to get up there. One was to fly yourself... flying ships and similar means of transport were forbidden from approaching Hidden Town's territory.
