The Great Drizzt
You really should not take the name "The Great Drizzt". You are not great in any shape or form. If you did not have to be 13 or older to sign up for this sight, I would think you were younger than that (pretending to be a dark elf and all that). Also I would correct you on an earlier post that Menzoberranzan is not the largest Drow city.
Menzoberranzan has a population of 32,000, where as Sshamath, a city led by male heretics of Vhaeraun, is larger with a population of 45,000. I would have to also state against you in your idea that drow are elves, thus classifying them together with surface elves. The two factions make bitter war on eachother to no end, and many a time the surface elves look to the dwarves for aid against drow ; sometimes even vice versa (despite the stubborness and pride of the dwarves, preventing them from asking for help very much).
"The Great Drizzt", I would reccomend you to change your name (Drizzt rejects drow culture, and is calm and slow to speak. You, on the other hand, are very quick to post rude comments and seem to have an affinity for the drow), and if you are looking for more people of your canon to talk to, take a shot at the Barrens chat, on World of Warcraft. |

Errr... Fhaorn, the scribe you are referring to hasn't visited Candlekeep in over 5 years. It's more than likely he's forgotten about this discussion and has since moved on. This is, after all, a very old scroll.
So, let's move on shall we?

Mother of Lurue, this is the oldest scroll I've seen resurrected! Look at the URL -- this is topic 27. And we're at up to least 10600 by now!  |

Solmyr,
SPOILER

In the third book of the last mythal, at the end, Araevin say that he may search out lamruil's hidden city and put his talents to use there, and help with raising a mythal if they are doing that in the city. So if there is a novel in the future featuring lamruil's hidden city Araevin may be there, and will probably have influenced their decision of raising a mythal since there may not have been enough, or any high mages with lamruil.
I always thought that a Dwarven stronghold would be better than an Elven city in the case of a siege, as it's probably much better protected, eg, Built into a mountain with only one entrance available. |

| Indeed, I have to go with a Dwarven stronghold. While both have their ups and downs, I would say that the Dwarven stronghold would be much easier to defend, especially against enemies that stand above 5 1/2 feet tall. |
You ask me what I crave above all things? Knowledge. |

Sweet....this thread is like a fine wine....better with age...
So on topic then, a Dwarven Stronghold is far superior. Why, the trolls have been barricading themselves within the Wailing Dwarf for nigh unto a century and more before finally being made an example of by a race far more sinister... (cue the super evil music..."da da dum")
If only the dwarves knew how to tap the weave better before the whole Thunder Blessing... |

| I have to go with the Dwarven Stronghold. I'm confident that they will have the best stout ales! |

I'd have to go with Gildenglade. An elven city on top of a dwarven stronghold!
:D
And damn, this is the most impressive thread necromancy ever! |

In terms of appearance, and where I'd prefer to live, given the choice, I'd pick an elven city -- particularly one that was mostly in the trees and off the ground. If I had to pick a place to defend, however, I'd go for the dwarven stronghold.

Elf "city", please, if by "city" you mean a widespread area in which elves make a lasting abode among the trees and other natural growth, augmented with carefully selected plantings of useful and attractive flora, gently re-directed streams, cascades and pools, in which they create arms an armor the equal or better of any dwarven craft, and hone magic arts beyond the understanding of shorter-lived (or, for that matter, simply shorter) folk. ;)

| Did Citadel Felbar get destroyed? because I'm looking at the 4E map and it's not there. They don't mention Ardbar but it's still on the map Mirrabar as well btu I see no sign of old Felbar. |
