This is about as general "General Realms" chat as you can get:
I thought the sages might find this amusing. Doesn't have much to do with Realmslore, per se, but 6 of the 8 outcomes are famous (or infamous) Faerunian archmages.
Which Archmage are you?
Cheers

Well, Steven ended up with Khelben (not much of a surprise there), and I'm Raistlin myself. . .
And five others. 
The real joy comes with discovery.

Wow! What a fast answer!!
Raistlin, eh? A good archmage, indeed.
Steven cames with Khelben is not exactly a surprise... I want to see Mr. Ed of the Greenwood taking this test...

I ended us as Khelben - very Khelben from the results. I've sometimes thought I'm channeling Mr Schend so that's not a bad thing!

Erik himself got originally Mordenkain -- who is, I believe, Mordenkainen's little brother.
I'd imagine that Dalamar is another option.

I must be.
I felt for sure that I'd come out as a Khelben, Raistlin, or even an Elminster.
It must have been that "Jumping into bed with as many spellslingers as inhumanly possible over as few decades as possible. Preserve that youthful figure, you know." remark that set everything off... .

Aye, and I got El despite not picking that one. |

| I tried to answer as honestly as possible(taking into acount how I would have been had I decided to become a mage) and winded up with Manshoon. |
If I were a ranger, I would pick NDA for my favorite enemy |

My apologies for misspelling Mordenkainen (spelling errors do happen). What do I know about Greyhawk? BAH! The Realms is far superior.
My actual result, taking the full test, was Raistlin.
As for those who are curious, the possible outcomes are:
Elminster
Khelben
Halaster
Manshoon
Mordenkain(en)
Raistlin
Szass Tam (someone over at Worlds got the lich lord)
and
The Simbul (no one's gotten her yet? Hmm.)
