@raven - go find a random bag of gold dropped by an escaping bandit with the owner nowhere in sight - it wouldn't hurt to get a gold coin or two...

Well, charcoal would be efficient but it depends how far tech has advanced. Methinks they started using charcoal in the cities just before the end of the Middle Ages.

Fun Fact: Mystra is the name of the DnD Forgotten Realms goddess of magic whose death caused the Spellplague - possibly the most influential magic event ever in Toril. The arcane refused to work and acted weird. *HINT HINT*

I read on when Azuth fell between planes at the death of the World Tree, I know quite a deal of Forgotten Realms lore.

And @raven, that sounds preposterous so I suggest finding a more realistic gold earning method if you bother earning drastic amounts of gold at all. A bandit in the city though?
