That can't be nearly as funny as Sunrise and Sunset, the amazing gender-bending pegasi (pegasuses?) from The Hunter's Blade trilogy and The Orc King.

Well, yeah, but I thought they were trying to fix him/it/her in the newer editions.

Must be all the frog DNA in the Realms (ala Jurassic Park).

So is that what they mean when they call Lloth a Goddess of Chaos?

Indeed. First, the pegs' genders matched their elven riders.

Then, they were both male.

Lastly, the pegs' genders ended up completely reversed from their original set-up, so that they matched the genders of their new riders.

I am reminded of Bruenor's migrating/missing eye . . .

I suppose he could just take it out and move it around at will, like Jarlaxle and his patch!

Hello, I'm new to the forum (and the forgotten realms novels). After playing alot of the forgotten realms PC games over the last few years (Baldur's Gate 1+ 2, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights) I have become fascinated with the forgotten realms and now want to start reading the novels .

After deciding to start reading the novels I came upon this thread (which has been a great help), and after reading it I bought myself a copy of Spellfire and Azure Bonds. I am very much looking forward to reading them when i get the time but I'm not sure which order to read them in. Should i read one book first as the other has refereances to it? Also I'm not sure whether i should read all 3 books from one series before moving onto the other.

Any advice would be great.

Welcome, Joldo!

Neither of those books has any references to the other.

In general, I think it's better to read all books from a particular series before moving on to the next.

Azure Bonds is a particular fave of mine. I recently reread that one and the rest of the books by the same authors (Wyvern's Spur, Song of the Saurials, Masquerades, Finder's Bane, and Tymora's Luck). Wyvern's Spur and Song of the Saurials are books 2 and 3 of the Finder's Stone Trilogy; Azure Bonds is the first. Masquerades is kind of a stand-alone sequel to the trilogy. Finder's Bane and Tymora's Luck are books 1 and 3 of the Lost Gods trilogy. Book 2, Fistandantilus Returns, is a Dragginglance book and only advances the trilogy by introducing a single new character -- and since he's a kender, his backstory isn't all that important.

I have read Azure Bonds and very much enjoyed it , definatly a good book to start with. The next book The Wyvern's Spur should be with me tommorow and I look forward to getting stuck into it.

After finishing The Finder's Stone trilogy I plan to move onto Shandrils Saga (as I already own a copy of spellfire) and after that The Icewind Dale Trilogy (as I want to read about Drizzt
) . Perhaps I will read Masquerades before leaving the The Finder's Stone trilogy. Though i think i may be getting a bit ahead of myself.

Thanks for the reply/advice Wooly.

Well, Masquerades is a sequel to the Finder's Stone trilogy, so I'd hold off on reading it until after you've read Song of the Saurials.

Hello to everyone!!!
I'm a newcomer to the fantas(y)tic World of FORGOTTEN REALMS !!!
For a long time I've been looking for some good 'help' with FR novels, and now (thanks to Google) I've been captured by this fantastic site!

Well, this topic is the PERFECT incarnation of what I was looking for.
I've read many pages of it (not all) and realized that my choice is not so bad: I'm Italian (so excuse me for my not-so-perfect English ), I live in Italy and here arrives just a small part of the HUGE amount of FR books, most of all are Salvatore's and Greenwood's ones.

So, I chose to start with "THE ICEWIND DALE TRILOGY" (whose title in Italy is something like "The Lost Lands Trilogy" ) and I'm in love with it!
I've read just few chapters from "The Crystal Shard" (in Italy "The Ice Lands"...) and that's a good start!!!

Welcome, Lorix!

Don't worry about your English. You're not the only one here whose mother tongue isn't English... And some of us who do have it for a mother tongue still flub it.

Since you said any reading material, my first recommendation would have to be Grand History of the Realms.

I may misunderstand you post Calen but did you really not read about the Realms for two years ? (that's what I understand in "i have fallen off the wagon so to speak for the last two years")

I would say that you could come back to the Realms directly by reading about the new era ones, from 1479 DR ! You should prevent the heart attack we all knew about the 100 years hole in the Realms history !

Hoping I'm clear enough... just tell me !

Along with the advance of the timeline, the setting has been changed in various ways, some radical (Mystra is dead, the Weave vanished, and certain entire landmasses have been 'teleported' elsewhere), and some less so.

Yep it has been about two years since i was a regular reader. I kind of drifted off into other campaign settings. I will definately be picking up a grand history of the realms, but am very interested in the current events such as the hundred year hole. I have been hearing that it is a bit of a power grab from WotC

You may learn the most of the "why" and the "how" of these events by reading The Plague of spells, abolethic sovereignty, vol.1. It deals with the first years of the spellplague era.

Hello everyone, new user here.
I am looking to branch off a bit and read some new series within the Forgotten Realms. So far I have read basically the whole Drizzt series, the Cleric Quintet, War of the Spider Queen, The Lady Penitent, and the first three Elminster novels.
I was wondering what some of you would sugest I read next in terms of series. Also, in terms of Erevis Cale, which should be read first, the Sembia Series or the Erevis Cale trilogy?
Thanks a lot.

Elaine certainly has some good novels. Paul Kemp too.
If you are interested in Erevis Cale, the best way would be to read Halls of Stormweather (very good mix of Sembian short stories) and then Shadow's Witness (which is a deeper introduction to Erevis Cale).
You can also start Erevis Cale Trilogy directly without a problem, but I would recommend the two books before that to maximize the reading experience.
In my personal opinion the Erevis Cale trilogy is the best I have read so far in the Realms.

I'll jump on the "Elaine Cunningham recommendation train." Especially those novels that feature my favourite Realms character -- Danilo Thann!

I'll recommend Steven Schend's books too -- Blackstaff and Blackstaff Tower.

And a little apart from a series in and off itself -- Erik Scott de Bie's stuff.

Hi everyone, another new member here :D

A big fan of the CRPGs BG1, BG2, TOB and PST - these games started me on my first FR series Avatar. I just finished Icewind Dale Trilogy and about to start the Dark Elf Trilogy :)

Here's a question for the more experienced FRers: Throughout the last couple of months I usually check this bargain book shop for FR books and have picked up bits and pieces of various books. I have parts of the Watercourse series, Wizard series, Last Mythal series, 1 of the Knights Of Myth Drannor duology.

I'm planning on purchasing the remaining books of these series - but I was wondering if I should do that first, or get my fingers in some other FR series first like the popular Songs & Swords, Cities, Finder's Stone, etc. that have been recommended by everyone.

Also should I read War of the Spider Queen after the Drizzt books?

"I guess enough painkillers can make even the worst kind of hurt go away. The thing you need to know is that Mara was innocent, and Jackson was innocent - they didn't know what they were drinking and their last moments together were happy ones. They left the way I first found them - perfect and innocent. They were innocent and they're in heaven now and we'll always be a family. The guilty ones are me and Vic, Vic led but I kept following. I don't think one's worse than the other but we made each other into something worse than our individual selves. I wish I never met him. I see it all now - there's no apologies I can make, no explanations I can give - I was who I was and I can't be that person anymore. I can't let myself..." Shane Vendrell

War of the Spider Queen doesn't need to be after Drizz books... It's an absolutely different story.
That's a good series to get known some of those good authors that FR have.

I think you should read anything that looks good for you... RAS books, Songs & Shadows, Finder's stone, Erevis Cale Trilogy, gateway to Sembia, The Haunted Lands, Year of the Rogue Dragon, Cities, Wizards, Waterdeep, Last Mythal, any Anthologies, Ed's, War of the Spider queen, Avatar Series... Just choose one of those and read... There isn't a recommend order, it only depends on you.

Good Luck and good reading.

I would. "WOTSQ" discusses some characters who had been previously killed off in one of the Drizzt novels, Siege of Darkness, and helps to explain why the drow have seemed so quiet for a long stretch of time within the Drizzt series. It's interesting to see how Salvatore described drow society first, and then to see other authors' spin on it. It's about context, I guess.

BTW, check out the complete Salvatore Realms Chronology in my sig.

I'm a RAS-o-phile, so I'm no good for recommending other authors and works for you, though.
