Greetings
What is known in canon as of now, about the year of risen elf kin, say the top five most important events for that year. Of particular interest would be any information related to Waterdeep. |

Ed's shared some details about his upcoming SWORDS OF EVENINGSTAR novel is his thread here at the 'keep. You should probably check it out BlackAce.

Remember too that the name of a year may not necessarily refer to a huge, Realms-wide event. |

Given that it's the Year of Risen Elfkin and not the Year of Risen Elves, maybe some major half-elf related event is set to occur? |

I should have stumbled arcoss this warning before flipping through PoF yestereve. I know all about it now!!! 
If that does not make it more than obvious what the name of that year is hinting at...

As far as I will go in my campaign: I will re-play the adventure "City of the Spider Queen". There we will have, if the plan should work out, lots of "risen elfkin".

Actually, I think you should read the Last Mythal trilogy since it wasn't reclaimed by drow. :) Or the spoiler paragraph in Power of Faerun. |

Besides that the Vhaeraunites were reported to be the closest to reclaiming the city. It is a clear stated goal that the fair elves so far appear unable to or unwilling to prevent.

Successful, elven rule restored and still no talk on how weak the city would be after reclamation. |

 Well, that is news to me. Oops.
But thank you for also pointing out where I can find the information - I was really disappointed when there was no apparent follow-up to several references in older 2e products (but I could've sworn that they were talking about it as a future event in 3.5 Shining South - don't have the book here right now, so feel free to correct me).
I'll definately be looking into this.
I was really hoping for a dwarven trilogy detailing the event...

While the name of the year is 'Risen Elfkin,' I would place my bet on some hinted at dwarven material. Specifically, the long awaited gold dwarven exodus from the Great Rift to Deep Shanatar under the Lands of Intrigue. There have been hints about upcoming dwarven material, and the exodus is actually a bit overdo IIRC.
Or maybe it'll come in 1376. |

That's pretty much the same for me as well. If my purchase of the hardcover SoE keeps the doors of my local hobby store open just that bit longer... I'll all for it.
-- And as we seem to have shifted off-topic... let this now be the friendly "mod-push" back to relevant scroll discussion .

Well Amazon may be my friend, but my local Hobby Store is practically the only one in Adelaide - si I support it when and how I can. If this one bites the dust, then I won't be getting RPG stuff anywhere but online or interstate.

It's comments like that which make me realise how cruel some of my own teases are! Okay, I'm looking forward to SoE just as much - even though my wallet won't: it'll cost me about AU$50 for the hardcover.

No worries on that account, Dargoth. All in COS will remain, though the secrets behind closed doors may shift a bit. |

As far as going with fantasy for "year of risen elf kin" the earyh elements united and reject are Drow from the underdark, because they are a disruptive force. *wink* rising then to the surface of course. This of course would a a RSE and clearly will not occur. |

Truth be told Mr Schend, given I only saw your initial scribings for "Blackstaff", I'm sure I'll be as surprised as the next guy when it comes out. Definitely my most anticipated novel purchase for the year (sorry Ed!).

PS: No, the Scepter isn't reconstituted.....but wouldn't it be just like Khelben to set up a scenario where everyone thought it was destroyed, just so they'd stop looking for it to claim.......? |
