I did a search and found several topics concerning the times before King Azoun, and times after the death of King Azoun, yet none concerning the reign of King Azoun. If I missed something in my seach please feel free to redirect me with a link.
I would like to know what King Azoun IV did during his reign. I say this because it is evident that if Cormyr was to mourn after his death, he had to be a halfway decent ruler. I know as much concerning him as is presented in a timeline, unfortunately like all timelines it has gaps. I would like to know if you can fill them in, particularly during the years 1311DR - 1324DR, 1336DR - King Azouns epic battle against the titanic red dragon.
I would require this information because of the nature of my charcater. IC my pc is a Bard/Druid, and is currently writing a play in memorial of his recent death. I have the outline done and have finished two of the five acts. A list of important people to include would also be useful. I currently have includded the Kings Children, Vangerdahast (I hope that is the correct spelling), and a couple others.
I thank thee for your time, and feel free to contact me via Email @ Zhenchwood@yahoo.com

That was almost like asking, who is Elminster?  No worries my friend, if you do not truly know, keep reading scrolls here within the keep. |

I have done these two before coming here, I was actually looking for a direct link to a short biography or detailed list everything that King Azoun IV has done, or rather what a PC Bard might know concerning the King after his death (The PC has access to the Library in Suzail). Someone mentioned that Cormyr a Novel and other books were good to read, I have read some portions of the former long before searching on information concerning this king. Exactly how much information in the books are concerning the actions of King Azoun? Do you have any recommended chapters to read from these books? I have access to the first and last in the trilogy, exactly what is included in the second book? I heard it wasn't a good read, what would you all recommend? You have all done well in helping me with this project of mine,
Thankyou. |

Another thing Azoun IV did during his life: bed just about every woman in the kingdom, and several from outside it. Obarskyrs are a randy lot.
But really, there's no published biography of his life. The closest thing we have to a published biography for any character would be the various Drizzt books, or the various Elminster books. |

Indeed.
Mehangel, you might want to consider looking through Ed's replies here at Candlekeep also. Over the years, Ed's managed to share with us many interesting tidbits about Azoun's life and his time as King of the Forest Kingdom.

| For glimpses at Azoun IV and his life, I recommend the novels Cormyr: A Novel, Death of the Dragon and Swords of Eveningstar. The 2E supplement Heroes' Lorebook also has a useful synopsis of Azoun's life until its publication. |

Hail, scribes. Trying to track down all of Azoun IV's official titles. I know I've seen them listed somewhere, but can't seem to find the lore now.
By titles, I mean: 'His Royal Majesty, King Azoun IV, Protector of Tilverton, Victor of the Horde Incursions', etc, etc, etc, all the way down to 'High Shoveler of the Royal Dunghill', if that happens to be in there. It is the various 'etc's that I am currently lacking, and need the assistance of far wiser scribes to guide me...
Cheers,
-Karth |

| If I remember correctly, didn't WotC posted a series of articles dealing with Cormyr last year or so? Several of the articles provided details on Azoun IV, including one specifically one the affairs he had outside of his marriage and the kids that resulted from them. |

I'm not sure. His last visit to Candlekeep was around October last year. He hasn't been back since. I suppose you could try contacting him via his email, or through MSN [see his profile for the relevant addresses].

Dunno... Half of his posts are in this thread, and he's not been here since October. If he did finish the biography, I've seen no mention of it. |

| Sorry, I have most of the information on Azune, unfortunately there are several years in which I found insufficient information... I am currently compiling the information into an organized format that is easy to read and yet viable... Sorry I did not entirely realize you were waiting for the bio to be posted, so I was working on it at a leisurely pace... I will try try to get it up and posted when I finish so that those who wish to read it may... |

There's no big hurry. But I would like to see it when it's done.

You think that's old? Sometimes threads from 2002 get raised from the dead around here. |

Not that I know of, and I've not seen anything like this made available for storage on the main site. As I said back in '08, Mehangel last visited Candlekeep around October '07. He hasn't been back since. I suppose you could try contacting him via his email, or through MSN [see his profile for the relevant addresses]. |

On a related note: Was the article following "Azoun's Bastards" ("The Scarlet Mummers") the last article in this series? If so, it left us with a rather irritating semi-cliffhanger...  |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

I haven't checked my archive folder of the "Realmslore" column in a while, but yes, I think that was the last one. |
