It's part of an Anthology? Weird that WoTC would list it separately in their catalog. Nuts. |

| Just found that was published in Dragons: World Afire,2006. But, since itīs related to Salvatoreīs "The Sellswords trilogy", the tale was an excellent addition to the book. |

"If Ever They Happened Upon My Lair" is a novella about a particular dragon that arose during Zhengyi's reign of terror in the Bloodstone Lands.
It was first packaged as part of the deluxe coffee-table-style anthology <Dragons: Worlds Afire>, JUN-2006.
Then, it was re-packaged as part of the paperback RAS anthology <The Legend of Drizzt Anthology: The Collected Stories>, FEB-2011.
Apparently, WOTC is releasing the novella as a stand-alone e-book product in SEP-2012. The link on that WOTC page which is supposed to provide retailers doesn't seem to be working yet. |

Everything ends where it begins. Period.

No, he's not the only one. But he was the first. And that's what matters most. |

Nope. There was at least one dracolich before Sammy came along. He was made by Talos. |

Yup, that one. I don't recall his name, but I do recall seeing in one of the versions of the Grand History that his creation was listed centuries before Sammy created his first dracolich. |

First mortal, then. Besides, I rarely count the gods in terms of creating whatever firsts, because, in the first place, they're capable of almost everything. |

Given the intelligence of dragons, and how long they've been around, I'd actually be quite surprised if none had ever found their own way to being a dracolich. I'm pretty sure that we don't have any canon references to who the very first dracolich in the Realms was. Sammy may have found a good method and been rather influential in making dracoliches, but I'd expect that there had already been dracoliches in the Realms thousands of years before. |

Yeah I snatched up the Drizzt anthology and I thought it was an amazing story. Kind of makes me wish that RA would write a trilogy about the Bloodstone saga with Zhengyi's rise and how Gareth Dragonsbane and company defeated him.
I would pay good money for that story. |
