Mr. Greenwood, a question if I may, unrelated to this post. I have been making FR lore videos recently and I was questioned about the Sarrukh and the entomology of the race name. I have found Arabic surnames of Sarrukh, did this play a role and if not could you give some insight?

Sorry, but I didn't create the Sarrukh, and don't know. I avoid all direct real-world analogues when creating the Realms, but there are some inevitable overlaps (just today, I found a "Kossuth Road" 200-odd miles away from me in my home province of Ontario). #Realmslore
