The Highwayman includes an "All-New Drizzt short story" entitled "The Dowry". I plan on reading it tonight, and I'll post an overview sometime soon. Just glancing at it, it appears to set in Waterdeep, and includes Drizzt, Cattie-Brie, and Captain Deudermont.

I had intended to read Highway man anyhow once I finish the last 10 FR novels I have yet to read. I did not know about the short story but that just ensures I will be purchasing it

“The Dowry”
After the death of Wulfgar at the hands of the yochlol, Drizzt and Cattie-Brie leave Mithral Hall, eventually making their way to Waterdeep. Here they hope to join Captain Deudermont’s crew aboard the Sea Sprit. Rather than going straight to Captain Deudermont and asking to join his crew, the two decide to capture some pirates to present to Deudermont as a dowry.

Year: 1363 (not 100% certain of this, but it seems right)
Location: Waterdeep

I just realized we don't have descriptions for my other two stories:

Realms of the Elves, “The Greater Treasure”

Yldar Nathalan, the hapless, disgraced son of a noble lord of Evermeet, searches Faerun for objects of power and majesty of a bygone age, traveling with his sister Cythara, a wizard of great power and greater desire. When he tracks the Bracer of Ynloeth, legendary Coronal of Shantel Othreier, to the human city of Elversult on the day of a great overthrow, he finds more danger than he ever reckoned. For here he must battle the wrath of a demon cult and the darkest stirrings of the heart, struggle between honor and love, and face the alluring and mysterious thief Fox-at-Twilight, who will change his world forever.


Wizard’s Site, “Wayfarer” (companion to Ghostwalker)

The young Meris, son of the new Lord Singer Dharan Greyt, has seen more than a boy should ever have to see, and his world shakes with its implications. He seeks to escape, only to find jealous siblings, a haunting voice on the night’s breeze, and the darkness in his own soul standing solidly in his path.

(Note: Chronologically, this short story occurs shortly after the prologue and fifteen years before the first chapter of Ghostwalker.)


Cheers

I don't recall the title off the top of my head, but did anyone else think that the story about the "the magic dough" in Realms of the Arcane was a little silly? All that was missing was the comedic skull from Escape From Undermountain and the talking wombats from the Ring of Winter.

Once again, nothing wrong with talking wombats. they are still my top candidates on the list of minor characters deserving their own trilogy.

Realms of The Elves

Traitors
(Richard Lee Byers)
Rhespen Ash, a mage of no small power, leads his troops into an ambush and a desperate fight..

The Staff of Valmaxian
(Philip Athans)
Young elven mage struggles with his developing skills and pays a high price to develop them. Maybe even too high...

Necessary Sacrifices
(Lisa Smedman)


The Greater Treasure
(Erik Scott de Bie)
If i saw right Erik just wrote description of his story.

Comrades at odds
(R.A. Salvatore)
Drizzt travels towards west to gather the body of fallen Ellifain, but they find something unexpected..

Tears so white
(Ed Greenwood)
Knights of Myth Drannor are spending time in the kitchen of Storm Silverhand when Elminster appears with very wierd quest for the knights..


The Bladesingers Lesson
(Richard Baker)
Elves are returning. Many are dreaming about their former golden age. But one elf finds a very, very big disappointment and himself helping humans, despite something they've done in the past, who are in grievious danger...

I can post proper descriptions when I have read all of those and have the time do it. But you do not have to wait for long, I am waiting for reading them myself...

Just here to point out that the Dragons: Worlds Afire book might have a FR short story by Salvatore.

http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndant/957477200

Haven't read it yet, but I was told that the story is Realms related. Can anyone confirm this?

It is indeed Realms related, as far as I can tell.

I haven't read the story myself, but I believe it involves Vaasa and may (thereby) connect to the events of Promise of the Witchking. That's just speculation, however, based on flipping through it for about thirty seconds.

Cheers

"And All the Sinners, Saints
Paul S. Kemp
short story from Dragon #297
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/allsinnersaints


Unfortunately Wizards has gone and pulled the rug from under us, and I suspect themselves too, since very few of the linked articles on their novel product pages seem to work anymore (and for quite some time too, at least the last 4 months that I'm aware of). However, it also seems that they have at least mirrored most of those articles (ironically on their Mirrorstone site), even if getting to them is a little obscure. I'll use the above non-working link as an example:
The broken link
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/allsinnersaints
should be replaced with
http://ww2.wizards.com/books/mirrorstone/Article.aspx?doc=fr_allsinnersaints

I suspect this will work for any of the other broken links to for instance Ed Greenwood's Spin a Yarns, etc.

Simply replace
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/
with
http://ww2.wizards.com/books/mirrorstone/Article.aspx?doc=fr_
followed by the article name.

I hope this helps.

I haven't updated this thread because Alaundo is hosting this list in Word format here on the site. I am updating it regularly, and it should be up to date as of the next site update. I'd like to keep this thread going with summaries of the stories and novels that have yet to be covered, and posts of any new material I may miss.

Realms of the Dragons II

Realms rise and fall, human lives tick by like seconds on a clock, and the dragons watch from on high. But when the mighty wyrms lose their minds, when they succumb to their basest, most violent impulses, time stands still.

From the far corners of Faerûn, from the skies above and the pits below, from the imaginations of the next generation of fantasy masters, come tales of dragons good and evil.
This collection features all new stories by Forgotten Realms newcomers including Maiden of Pain author Kameron M. Franklin, Murray J.D. Leeder, Erik Scott de Bie, James P. Davis, and many more. For some, this is their first time in print, but surely won’t be their last!

“The Dowry”
R.A. Salvatore
“The Dowry” was a bonus for Salvatore fans included in The Highwayman novel.

After the death of Wulfgar at the hands of the yochlol, Drizzt and Cattie-Brie leave Mithral Hall, eventually making their way to Waterdeep. Here they hope to join Captain Deudermont’s crew aboard the Sea Sprit. Rather than going straight to Captain Deudermont and asking to join his crew, the two decide to capture some pirates to present to Deudermont as a dowry.

Year: 1363
Location: Waterdeep
Main Characters: Drizz't Do'urden, Cattie-Brie, Captain Deudermont, Robillard

It was only published in The Highwayman and I doubt it will make it into a Realms book. Perhaps if they decide to go with a Best of Salvatore collection...
