So I came upon this listing on the WoTC product page. Does anyone know where I can purchase this story? I can't seem to find it on Amazon.

Yeah I snatched up the Drizzt anthology and I thought it was an amazing story. Kind of makes me wish that RA would write a trilogy about the Bloodstone saga with Zhengyi's rise and how Gareth Dragonsbane and company defeated him.
I would pay good money for that story. |

Found it here. You'll need to download Adobe Digital Edition (free) to read it on the PC. If you have a Kobo obviously it'll load onto there.

I should note that once you extract the file in Adobe Digital Editions you should have the epub file (drm and all) on your PC somewhere. A pass through calibre should make it compatible with whatever ebook reader you like.
Thanks! But I think I'll just buy the Kindle version of the Drizzt Anthology. It's only a few bucks more than they are charging for this short story. $3.99 is nuts!! |

Nope. There was at least one dracolich before Sammy came along. He was made by Talos.
First mortal, then. Besides, I rarely count the gods in terms of creating whatever firsts, because, in the first place, they're capable of almost everything.
Given the intelligence of dragons, and how long they've been around, I'd actually be quite surprised if none had ever found their own way to being a dracolich. I'm pretty sure that we don't have any canon references to who the very first dracolich in the Realms was. Sammy may have found a good method and been rather influential in making dracoliches, but I'd expect that there had already been dracoliches in the Realms thousands of years before. |

From the Druidhome Trilogy??
Yup, that one. I don't recall his name, but I do recall seeing in one of the versions of the Grand History that his creation was listed centuries before Sammy created his first dracolich. |

Sammaster was not the only one to figure out how to make dracoliches it seems... |

"If Ever They Happened Upon My Lair" is a novella about a particular dragon that arose during Zhengyi's reign of terror in the Bloodstone Lands.
It was first packaged as part of the deluxe coffee-table-style anthology <Dragons: Worlds Afire>, JUN-2006.
Then, it was re-packaged as part of the paperback RAS anthology <The Legend of Drizzt Anthology: The Collected Stories>, FEB-2011.
Apparently, WOTC is releasing the novella as a stand-alone e-book product in SEP-2012. The link on that WOTC page which is supposed to provide retailers doesn't seem to be working yet. |

Just found that was published in Dragons: World Afire,2006. But, since itīs related to Salvatoreīs "The Sellswords trilogy", the tale was an excellent addition to the book. |

It's part of an Anthology? Weird that WoTC would list it separately in their catalog. Nuts. |
