I think someone should write a new novel and bring back Pharaun from War of the Spider Queen. I really liked his character and would love a novel about his adventures

AUTHOR's EDIT: WAR OF THE SPIDER QUEEN SPOILER!!!!!!!
Yup, that's why you keep a finger of your dead beloved around...resurrection, HOOOooo!!! |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

He does not appear in, but is closely tied into Thomas Reid's Empyrean Odyssey trilogy.
He may appear in book two, which is out this winter.
I can't say more without spoilers.

I hope he does, even if it's only flashback scenes. |

| Thats what I was thinking when she goes and picks out his finger, but I thought she would at least give some sort of inkling that she was going to do something with it, like a resurrection and such, and if anyone has read the novels about Halisstra after WSQ, Let me no if they are any good, I just picked up the first one but haven't started it. |

I think one of Wizard's goals at the end of WotSQ was to leave as many avenues open as possible for branching story lines. Obviously we know it's worked with Hallistra, Vhok and Aliiza (sp?). They also left behind Pharaun's finger. Valas Hune is still wandering about. Nimor is still with the Jaezred and so on. Let's remember it wasn't Thomas M. Reid that left Pharaun's finger behind. It was Paul S. Kemp. I'd like to see him come back, but not just for a cameo. I'd like to see him come back with a flourish and do something monumental.
As far as Hallistra's trilogy is concerned, for me the first one was probably the best of the bunch. The others were entertaining but not outstanding. Definitely worth the read in my opinion.

I put down the series after the second book. Loved the first one, but could really feel that it was two different authors and imo Richard lee byers had Pharaun just right.
If Pharaun does get a solo series I really hope that it's Richard lee Byers that gets to be the author. |
You're so dull |

| I like Nimor too, he was awesome, and there is definitely room for more work around the Jaezred Chaulssin guys, that group is awesome, half dragon half drow males slowly over the centuries capturing cities in the underdark, i think that a novel or two in their direction would be great |

The Lady Penitent trilogy was written with the obvious goal (from WotC) of changing around the drow pantheon (to put it mildly), likely in preparation for 4E changes to the setting. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

| I thought Pharaun was real cool but I got stuck on Gromph. That series gave him some more definition on the writing side of the house. But back to Pharaun. I am holding my breath on the Odyssey trilogy. I don't know for sure but I kinda expect to see him pop up some where. Mind that I have nothing to base this off of. I just feel the weave telling me so. :) |

I did the same, I just can't bring myself to buy the last book! |

| yea, a novel about Gromph would be cool too, I thought the sections in the book about him were really exciting, hes a good character too, arrogant, but extremely powerful, his fight with the Dyrr Lich and Nimor was awesome. |

I was actually disappointed with the fight between Gromph and Dyrr. It just kept going and going and going. I can't recall for certain but I seem to remember it lasting almost an entire book. I remember thinking to myself that I couldn't wait for it to be over, so the story could move on. Not poor writing, just too long. |

| yea ill agree with it being kind of long but it was definitely exciting, it kept me reading to see what was going to happen next and yea if I remember correctly it did last a long time, multiple chapters, it kept jumping back and forth, but it was a good one. The one thing I found odd was the ring Gromph wears that regenerates wounds and such must have been extremely powerful, it saves his life on more than one occasion |

Agreed. The real thing that bothered me was how Gromph seemed to really muddle through the series. I mean he was constantly getting worked over or made to look dumb, yet somehow he came through at the end. The character was probably played by a DM's boyfriend or something and got preferential treatment. 
I must say I was really rooting for...Dyrr's wards to take out Gromph at the end. |

I truly hope there is a series about the Jaezred Chaulssin. I love the entire concept of havin a rivalry between Lloth and some other Drow deity (if one should surface amongst all the chaos). Nimor was the BOMB in WotSQ. The other members of the Jaezred Chaulssin had a small part to play in the mini series, yet they were off the chain. I truly hope they get their own series soon. |
