Oh, I heard about that some time ago here, on this forum. Could you please give a title of this novel? If you know it, of course.
I have a feeling where this "lore" could've come from (and where I found this information too) - it is from Forgotten Realms fandom wiki. So maybe Larian writers used this info.
