I was wondering if there are any Forgotten Realms novels which center on a druid character?
Thanks!

Hmm...
Mayhap the Moonshae novels?
*looks at collection of Realms novels*
Hmm...I have aplenty of novels with characters that I've used to inspire a druid or two, but no actual druid novels...
I have a feeling someone else can answer this better... |

Also Pikel is a dwarven druid and he shows up mostly in R.A's Cadderly novels, but he's also in some of R.A's Drizzt novels. :)

Wow thanks :)
Any of those start with the character from their beginnings(such as has been done with drizzt?) I've been playing D&D/reading Forgotten Realms for a few months now and the druid class has really grabbed my attention. Mooshies grove in Sojourn was great :)
Or are there perhaps any plans of an author doing a large scale series on a druid?
Just wanna get all the info I can :) |

The Moonshae novels start out with Prince Tristan and Robyn, then the 2nd trilogy also deals with thier children. The Jewel of Turmish has a druid that has been a druid for awhile because he's a member of the Emerald Enclave. Pikel of the Cadderly novels is touched by Mielikki and that is why he can do what he can do....
The Moonshae novels might be hard to get because the 1st one came out in 1987 and it was the first ever FR novel. |

| The stereotypical druid is certainly depicted in Jewel of Turmish. |

Granted it was a while ago when I read the novel, but wasn't Galvin from Red Magic a Druid as well?.

Yes, yes he is. :) Hey I can't remember then all when there are over 150 of them. :) So add, Red Magic by Jean Rabe, to that list. |
