That would be an interesting project. Perhaps the founding of one of the dwarven kingdoms would make a nice plot? Speaking of which... what are the major populations of dwarves in the realms?
All i have ever seen of Dwarves have been in the hunters blades trilogy... It tells you about the major populations in the North ,but not anywhere else... |

No offense, but what?  Are you not familiar with Evermeet: Island of Elves?

Hehe... I was about to add the line "which are not in the North!" to my earlier post. It seems those are all I've ever seen myself (although if memory serves, which is not always, there is another settlement in the Harper novel:Soldiers of Ice (my first FR novel ever )). Most dwarves just seem to pop out of nowhere.
There are some new mentions, specifically the Duregar in the WotSQ series, but that is all. Anything else? |

Half-elves aren't elves, never have been, never will. They are N'Tel'Quess, actually worse than that....but alas I digress.

So, is anyone going to start a thread in the novels section calling for scribes to come together to try and work out a plot and such on Dwarves? I'd be intrigued to follow the thread if it develops.

Don't we all.
Although, do you have any information about who would have likely written that particular tome?

Well, I created a thread in the novels section of candlekeep, for scribes who are interested in developing a dwarven storyline/plot, I suggest you congregate there and toss out your ideas on what you'd like to see, and see if you can create a good plot and characters for a storyline. I think such a line of novels would be quite interesting myself.

Well, lookig at the list on this site, I've yet to read only about four more novels to be able to say that I've read every one that has been published so far. Only ones I'm missing are: City of Ravens, the last two WotSQ books (waiting for soft cover), and Silverfall.
I like to read a lot . |

sounds like it. I'm in the same boat in the sense that I like to read alot, however, I can't say I've read that many of the FR books, yet. I'm starting to gather a collection of them however, and hope to start reading through them in the fall. I read an average of a book every 2-3 days for paperbacks, and 3-5 days for hardcovers, and at the moment, I have about 10 hardcovers to read, then I'll be into the FR books, which should keep me busy for a few months anyhow. So yeah, I must agree, I love to read alot too. |

Yes... this all-dwarf party is turning out to be very interesting. If I would have known that such a thing would have been so fun I would have done it way earlier... |

| There just isn't any novels out there concerning dwarven civilization in FR.Been saying that for a while now.It's pretty sad to be honest.RAS is really the only one to bring dwarves to light,and some would argue that he makes a farce out of them(I'm not one of them).Mostly because of the undwarven like names.But I'm not here to discuss that.After reading Two Swords.I'm really starting to crave a novel or series concerning the dwarven civilization. |

I recently started a thread in the novels section, hoping to get some attention there. Two authors posted similar sentiments that the best way to try and get something to happen wtih the novels is to email the WotC novels section directly, and tell them your sentiments. So there you have the thoughts of a couple authors. If ye'd like to see some novels about dwarves, I'd suggest emailing WotC about it... it's our best hope.
