Hello friendly Realms folk,

I have used the search function, so I hope I am not retracing old steps for you all. But I would like to learn more about that dreaded night on 15 Nightal 1374, when the slimy Sharran Assassins broke into El’s tower and stole the Ebon Diadem. I understand what happened and that the consequent struggle destroyed the Tower and El’s contingency spells kicked in and whisked him away, but I wondered if this event had been recorded in a novel/short story? And if so, which?

Your time is appreciated, thank ye.

Mead, mead, from the honey bee,

To my knowledge, it hasn't appeared in any novels. It does show up as background information for the 3.5 Adventure Shadowdale: Scouring of the Land, specifically on page 4.

Sadly, this too is written from a historical perspective; I doubt that given the jump ahead to the post-Spellplague Realms, that we'll see such an event dramatized at this point in the game. T_T

One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

Daviot has the right of it. The Shadowdale module is largely the only source to cover this particular event.

You can freely download a watermarked sample of Shadowdale: Scouring of the Land ... it's only the first 6 pages, but that includes all the material written about the Ebon Diadem (on page 4).

Thanks all, much appreciated. I did wonder as much, I just thought such a major event in the whole scheme of things relating to El, in my opinion, would have been covered - it just felt like I was missing soemthing. At least I can put my mind at rest.
TTFN.
