Greetings. I wish to learn more of the infamous Volothamp Geddarm. Who exactly is he? Where is he from? How did he get to know the great Elminster so well? ect. Any sourcebook that descirbes him well or any link would be useful. My thanks |

Given the popularity of the city, I'm not surprised at all by this abscence.
I wouldn't really have said any of the areas covered are unpopular. |

Indeed. As the Lady Hooded One said many months ago -

Inevitably, it was, and as a result Volo (for his own protection, the Old Mage insists) spent some time as an ornamental frog sculpture in Elminster’s pond. He’s free again now, and I fear we’ve all not heard the last from Volo. :}
And again from THO -
quote:
Ed tells me Volo was freed almost two years ago, Realms-time, but there’s “free” and there’s “free,” if you know what I mean. Readers of Ed’s 2003 Spin A Yarn story know what he was briefly up to (and what most of the Seven Sisters think of him), and Ed tells me he also appears in the ‘thus-far-unseen, but handed in months ago’ 2004 Spin A Yarn story. I know some scribes will leap to tell me these stories aren’t canon, but to them I reply: this is VOLO we’re talking about, people! Volo!
P.S. There are several unpublished New Adventures of Volo DRAGON columns floating around in the WotC vaults, and some HORRIBLE poetry penned by Volo, too. To say nothing of a fragmentary ‘heaving bosoms’ broadsheet serial he started, ere one of his imprisonments . . .
love to all,
THO
The 2004 Spin A Yarn story, or rather the first two parts, is now available on the WotC site:

Just the word volo, it reminds me of a man drinking alone in the bar, eternally drinking and drinking so that he may not be conscious for the tab. |

Some info about him can be found in Ed's replies here on the boards, see my sig. :)
Some info about him can be found in Volo's Volo's Guides. He's also been stated and given lore in various sourcebooks. See the sig again. :)
