I disagree
Banes return has actually weakened the good guys
The Goodguys have never had it so good when Cyric became a god. which is why I think Ao allowed Bane back, there wasnt a Greater Power for LE in the Pantheon which effected the Balance.

Think about it. If Blackstaff were to "go mad" who's going to be there for him? You certainly can't expect Laeral to just stand by and do nothing right? Not only that, but the death of Laeral would be the solidifying factor to his turn and madness. If he were to ever come to his senses it won't be because Laeral redeemed him, she's probably haunt him as a harper wraith variant. :) |

Makes you wonder if the whole Novel forum debacle will have an adverse effect on newcomers to the Realms giving a new author a chance or just trying FR fiction for the first time at all. |

Oh, I fully expect it to. You can't even ask "Which books should I read?" or "What order do these novels go in?" without the thread being closed... |

Steven I wanted to ask you a question about the Moonstars. We have a supplement guide to Code of the Harpers. Since Khelben is the figurehead what things would be different if Code of the Moonstars was ever done?
How would Khelben react in this case...
Laeral introduces a young candidate to the rank of the Moonstars to be sponsered. During that time Khelben notices certain aspects of the younglin' personality. So little uncustomary for Khelben he notices that this candidate very much resembles him in personality in both certains aspects of him at that age and certain aspects at his current age. Would he watch or tutor this candidate more closely?
How does Khelben deal with people who have a strong a personality and set of convictions as he does? I don't think it has happened but in a debate how would Khelben react if he truly lost the debate? |

*whistles* What, you too?
Being banned from that board's no big loss, though, is it? |

Well met
Here it is, SiriusBlack 
I will be cleaning up this particular scroll within the next day as it appears to have got off topic somewhat. Now, what were we all saying about Future FR Novels? |

Now thats a tough one..... certainly The Ruby Guardian, Annhilation and Dawn of Night immediately spring to mind. I cant pick one in particular from that short list as all the stories are very different from each other.

While I'm sure there'll be others worthy of reading, the one I'm most anxious over is Ed & Elaine's Waterdeep/City of Splendors novel, whatever its final title.

Who wonders if a novel 15 years down the line will match King Azoun V's rise to the throne to similar events in 1976's Deryni Rising...(not in a copyright violation kind of way but a battle to be allowed to take his own throne sort of thing...) |

you mean as in the concept of Azoun V fighting Princess/Regent Alusair (that is the right name... isn't it... college is draining my mind...)? If you do mean it in that kinda way... i highly doubt it..
1. That story-line concept has been done too much already in novels and shows, movies, etc.
2. Princess/Regent Alusair never wanted the throne to begin with, so she'd probably give it up as soon as he came of age, and just maybe stick around to help advise in the way of her father (with some minor help from Vangy poofing in every now and then) |
I am like a superhero, with no powers or motivation.
I have gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, please keep me here.

Nope. Alusair would be the first to leap to the kid's defense and right to inherit the throne she's reluctantly forced to occupy at present. She'll be dancing when she gets to put the heavy crown down.
I was thinking more of upstart or long-scheming nobles out to wrest the crown from the Obarskyrs and attempt to start the first new dynasty in Cormyr in centuries....

I look very much forward to Dawn of Night.
Twilight Falling stopped with an enormous cliffhanger and I read somewhere that Kemp has inserted an even larger one this time.

Just remember, it's going to be a bit longer of a wait for the first novel you mentioned. It won't be published this year, but in 2005. |
