So, I'm trying to put an adventure together for my wife, her sister, and one of my regulars. I think I'm come down upon the idea of running a little adventure in Cormanthyr ... in 650 DR.
I'm running a campaign in 1340 Phlan, but I don't want to throw too many links between them. If they end up enjoying themselves enough to play again, I'll continue with them. IF they love it and want to play, there's always ways to get them 700 years forward in time.
So, are there any adventures that tied in with that campaign set? I can convert 2e to 3.5 pathfinder pretty easily in my head, so I don't care what edition it would be.
OR ... is there some small adventure that would be perfect? I'm thinking to maybe make them all students or curiosities of windsong tower, or somesuch. I could give it an elven harry potter feel which would give them a frame of reference.
So, advice? Ideas?

Can you obtain a copy of the 2e Ruins of Myth Drannor boxed set? That pretty much has everything you're looking for.
Also, the Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves supplement offers some possibilities as well. 'Tis available as a free PDF download at WotC.

So, running it in 650 puts me in the Cormanthor: Empire of Elves boxed set.
If I ran it concurrently with my 1340 campaign ... Myth Drannor is a abandoned but somewhat guarded by Elves? |

It's a book, not a boxed set.

Essentially, yes.
Also, you'll find the Ruins of Myth Drannor boxed set somewhat useful here.

Just an idea (that I've toyed-with myself): Myth Drannor is loaded with portals. If you place a time-portal somewhere, you can have the best of both worlds.  |

| So, now - is there a pre-fab 1st level 4 hour adventure for young wizards out there that I could adapt for either House Tsornyl or Windsong Tower? |

Cough. Sage is slipping. :)
There's also that Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor late 2e/early 3e adventure, plus the novel that ties in with it since it was a video game, module, novel. This module is set around the 1370's. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I don't immediately recall anything like that. Though the details for the Windsong Tower that exist in the sources mentioned above should help you to craft your own adventure. |

I slipped rather significantly, it seems. 
Rhewtani, here's a listing of other sources on Myth Drannor which might prove useful:-
- Lost Empires of Faerūn
- Power of Faerūn
- The Fall of Myth Drannor
- Elminster in Myth Drannor novel
- Return of the Archwizards trilogy
- Ed's Spellfire novels
- Rich Baker's "Last Mythal" novels also details the current events in Myth Drannor
- Lost Library of Cormanthyr novel
- Elminster's Ecologies box set
- Eric's "Cormanthyr" article in DRAGON #354 |
