I'm interested in seeking out whatever information is available on the sun elf Nimesin family ( as in the infamous traitor Kymil Nimesin ): whether they are a great house or minor offshoot, what connection they had with the old Elven Court of Cormanthyr, whether any other family members other than Kymil are sun elf supremacists / anti-Moonflower agitators / members of the Elite, etc. If anyone could point me in the direction of useful material on the web, old 2nd ed products, relevant novels, I would be most grateful.

I want to say that I recall reading that the Nimesin Clan is a branch of the Durothil Clan. However, I can't recall the source at this time.

I do remember that Cormanthyr: Empire of the Elves has some basic information on the clan including prominent members from the past, seal/arms, and house colors. This information is on page 116 and can be downloaded here.

Elaine Cunningham's novel, Evermeet: Island of Elves also features some Nimesin information to my recollection.

This is what happens when I don't get enough coffee into my system before replying to posts.

The above information is revealed in Elaine Cunningham's novel, Evermeet: Island of Elves. In a letter to Danilo on page 77, Prince Lamruil reveals "Nimesin is a sept--that is a minor branch--of the ancient clan Durothil."

Thanks for the Cormanthyr info and link. I do have a copy of Evermeet somewhere, will have to track it down.

Acolyte Herald,

You can also find some additional material (thought not much) herein below:

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Kymil_Nimesin

Great Reader SiriusBlack has already mentioned Evermeet (the novel), but there is also Elfshadow as well as the Villian's Lorebook.

Best regards,
