| I would like to read more about Elaith . I also enjoyed the themed series especially the Wizards series so hopefully there will be more of that as well in the future. |

I don't see why you had to mention that. Mystra's Chosen and even Ao himself would cease to exist, and the whole of Toril will be consumed by the Void, leaving nothing in its wake...But Drizzt would continue to live on...That's how powerful his plot armor is. |

| I mention it becuase the question is what I would like to see more of and Drizzt is one of them. If I had to pick one FR series to make it through a WotC apocalypse it would be Legend of Drizzt. |

I really really really like the themed novel series. The Fighters, The Rouges...etc. I would love to see more of those. But I would love the themes to be expanded. The Giants, The Dwarves, the Harpers, The Zhentarim. Small contain stories about people in these larger groups.
While I agree with Sage's suggestion*, I wanted to throw my vote behind this idea. I have enjoyed these collections and I am just now getting into the Harpers series and I think there is still plenty of potential here. A new ongoing Harper series would be good, though I believe a counterpoint like a Zhentarim series should be considered along side it.
Likewise I think more series set up like Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep should be explored. Set them in different cities/kingdoms (depending on size) around the Realms. Hopefully this would be used to explore some lesser used parts of the Realms or to explore in greater depth parts that have already received coverage (like parts of Cormyr that don't get lots of coverage in the novels already set there).
*I have read almost 130 Realms novels and there has been only 1 that I have read that I would hesitate to pick up a sequel to it.
Agreed. I'd love a novel series on the Chosen, not just the Elminster series, the Blackstaff novel, and the Seven Sisters novel. I'd also like to see regional novels, similar to the Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep line. Ed Greenwood presents Rasheman, for example. |

not series but character: Pharaun Mizzrym from War of the Spider Queen
I didn't read the empyrean odyssey series ..did he make a reappearance there?
If I remember correctly someone picked up a finger bone of his, so a resurrection or something might be doable :) |

He did. He was resurrected, only to be killed off again. Wonderful. |

I have floated an idea similar to this in the past, and it caught some traction. Sort of a "Chosen across the ages" set of stories. My proposal was for an anthology/web-series of short stories. Would that be of interest?

Or possibly an "Ed Greenwood Presents The Realms" series, wherein each book focuses on a different "realm" like Rashemen, Aglarond, Chessenta, Vaasa, etc.? I could really go for that.

Yeppers.
How about putting Gwaeron Windstrom in a starring role in one? Drizzt supposedly followed him back in his early days, but then that blurb got dropped somewhere along the way. It would be interesting to see GW ( ) do something cool. |

Hi, Erik,
Assuming that a "regional" Realms book wasn't a jumbo effort like Evermeet or Cormyr: a Novel, how would it differ from a regular Realms novel that just conveys a solid sense of its particular setting? |

Pretty much what Dennis said. Aliiza was the one who picked up the finger bone, and Phaeraun did make an appearance in EO, but he died again. I was not happy about it, because I was fond of Phaeraun myself, and I fond resurrecting him only to kill him off again, kind of cheap (especially because it sucks to be in Lolth's domain unless you're really lucky), but that's just me. |

| Brotherhood of the Griffon brought so much life into the FR novels for me. I would like to see this series last as long as Drizzt has. |

| Would LOVE more on Alias and Giogi/Cat Wyvernspur and Dragonbait. I guess Olive would be dead but she's always fun too. Finder could make her a Chosen and keep her aging slowly though, she seemed to have a Charmed life. Giogi could stay young through the Wyvernspur artifact with Cat (if she and Alias don't age). Lots of possibilities. |

I like the idea, but Giogi no longer uses the spur; another has been selected (one of his nieces, as I recall). Giogi and Cat have had kids, and I'm personally thinking it's unlikely that Alias, Cat, and the others, won't age normally. |

I second the more Elaith.
More Riven, which I suppose we are getting. Woohoo.
I'd be lying if I didn't say I always want more Entreri, even if I did want him killed off in that last book...
Hmm, I'm sensing a theme. That's a trio of cuddly, lovable guys, right?  |

Lots of good suggestions above.
I would like to see more Cale/Riven.
I'd also like to see a sequel to Circle of Skulls by James Davis
Would like to see more novels by Ed Gentry and Elaine Cunningham, amongst others |

Two things come directly to mind when I think about this question:
1- More Arilyn and Danilo! One is an elf(kinda), the other is Khelben's apprentice. Totally believable that they'd be alive after the Spellplague! (Yeah yeah, I know it's a longshot, especially since the 6th book in the series got axed, but a guy can hope right?!)
2- More of something like the Sembia series! Get several authors to focus on a small part of one particular place that could use a little more attention, while still being easily identifiable. |

If Shar's shadows don't devour the 4-year delayed book (or is it five years now?), then we'd be seeing more of Riven. As for Cale, I kinda doubt it. His son will likely take over his mantle. A convenient replacement. |

I second this series (Songs and Swords)! And maybe, if Tymora and Denir are smiling upon us, the (original) 6th book would be back on the list of upcoming novels. |

| I would love to see a NEW series written about the Land of Fate. I'm not sure why this rich corner of the Realms always got ignored for novel purposes. Zakhara brings back some of my best roleplaying memories. |
