I need all the information anyone can find on the Sorceror Princes of Athalantar. I know that some information might be available in Ed Greenwoods novel series on Elminster. Elminster: Making of a Mage and so on. However I don't have the books and it took me about 2 months to finish reading Evermeet, with my schedule.
So I was hoping to avail myself of my fine scribe friends' talents.
What do you say folks, can you help out an old, tired scribe?

Artalis, I may be able to assist you with this.
Try this site
It details a lot about Elminster and the Realm of Athalantar. It may be just what you are looking for.
Good learning...

| I believe Ed Greenwood did two or three features in Dragon Magazine on Athalantar lore. No idea what issue numbers they are though, sorry and I dont have my Dragon index to hand at the moment. |

And as a very obscure sidelight, if you read up on the Runemasters of the Twisted Rune in Empires of the Shining Sea, you'll note that one of them (Rhangaun?) was a mage assassin for hire way back then, and killed one of the Princes of Athalantar. Interesting ...

| And Athalantan gold crowns are still circulated in the modern Realms, as seen in Hand of Fire. |

Master Sage,
Is there by chance an updated URL to that site you linked to? It appears to now be defunct.
Best regards,

@cpthero2 - You can try searching the Wayback Machine and/or other internet archive sites.
Quite a lot of immensely popular (A)D&D content has fallen offline, especially pre-4E (pre-2008) stuff which is now "incompatible", replaced by WotC's published canon or simply abandoned by disenfranchised (A)D&D fans. There are still some private forums which maintain their own wikis/lore/campaigns, although membership of new contributors tends to be restricted and selective - (A)D&D grognards now come in many flavours, each of which stubbornly prefers to interact primarily with their own kind. |

Great Reader Ayrik,
Thank you for letting me know about that. I have quite a few sites marked (my god......a lot now that I am looking), but there can never be enough Realmslore out there.
Best regards,
