| There are many possibilities for potentially great "Realms of" books. How about a Realms of the Dales, focusing on the smaller Dales that we really don't hear that much about? A Realms of Barbarians could be interesting as well. I always enjoyed the tribal aspects of The Crystal Shard, Horselords, etc. |

Realms of the Barbarians? Now that's something I would have to pass. |

Oh come on, it could be good. And if not you could always just smash it with your Warhammer +3  |

I had a bad experience with the barbarian Sunbright. Most importantly, I'm only partial to wizards. All other classes are either trivial or less interesting to me. |

I wasn't too thrilled with Sunbright either. I was excited about the Netheril Trilogy, but felt that it was lacking substance compared to other realms books of the 90's |

Ironically, for a series that's supposed to provide a substantial amount of Netheril-lore, The Netheril trilogy gave just a little. Despite such and some other things, I still enjoyed that series. For me, no civilization thus far has ever managed to surpass Netheril. |

Don't get me wrong, i did still enjoy that trilogy for a few reasons.
1) it took place in a part of the Realms i had never been in
2) it showcased some awesome magical power
I just felt like Emery was trying to pawn Sunbright off as a copy of Conan. I enjoy when characters of a certain type (barbarian, wizard, assassin, etc) stand out from other characters of the same genre. |
