I was wondering if aquatic elven cities/settlements/empires or anything of the sort has ever been detailed. Have the sea elves ever formed empires of power similar to Miyeritar or Aryvandaar? If so, where, when, and how great were they?

Oh, my. You need to find or download the wonderful 2e resource Sea of Fallen Stars.

Thanks! I'll have to search for that next time I'm in a used book store.

I'd also add Demihumans of the Realms as well. And Races of Faerūn. Both have detailed sections on the aquatic/sea elves of the Realms.

-I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it. I've penned in a few Aquatic Elf settlements, but, I'll admit, the Aquatic Elves were never liked too much by me, and have never been a primary focus- unlike more "mainstream" Sun/Moon/Wood Elven society.

Dimly recalls some scenes also about sea elves in the Evermeet novel. :) Or even the Evermeet sourcebook.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

also Dragon # 267 has a Volo's article about obscure aquatic elven realms (plus Underspires, the duergar city)

Thanks, all! I have read Evermeet and Races of Faerun, but I'll try and find some of this other stuff. I'm almost positive my dad has Dragon # 267, but we moved recently and all of his Dungeon and Dragon magazines are packed in the garage.

The Threat from the Sea novel series has some info on them I seem to recall.

If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

I think I might have seen one or two of those books at my local library. Thanks for the suggestion!

I loved the Threat from the Sea books, by Mel Odom.
