In 2e she is a 30th level wizard and also a high mage. See Cormanthyr: Empire of the Elves and The Fall of Myth Drannor. Ed Greenwood's Elminster in Myth Drannor novel also has a lot of info on her. She also makes a very short, like a paragraph, appearance in Elminster in Hell. |

If she'd just show her ugly moon/gold elven mug again, maybe she'd get a 3.5E write up. |

LOL It's still disputable what her race is! I like the explanation that says she can change her race as she pleases though (or something like that). |

Isn't there a High Magic spell that does that? |

Perhaps, but not being an expert on High Magic myself, I wouldn't know off the top of my head. :) |

The Srinshee was reborn as a moon elf female as it says in Cormanthor, she was last seen in Ancient Empire's but she has no stats unfortunately.

Yes, but we've had this discussion and Steven Schend said he messed up when he said she is a gold elf in the Fall of Myth Drannor and so Lost Empires says she is a gold elf as well. |

I'm rather new here, and didn't know of that conversation I was only going from current comments.

I can also see it as a point of contention between the various subraces of elves.
Moon Elves: The Srinshee was a member of our subrace.
Sun Elves with a sigh: Foolish moon elves. Tis, but wishful thinking. All reasonable scholars (Gold elves no doubt) assert The Srinshee is a gold elf. |

I could see the Srinsee confusing the issue of her race to distance herself from racial tensions. She seemed often disgusted with such things. Perhaps she didn't want to be associated with any one race.
Of course, elitism could lead to contention where the intent was quite the opposite. |

It would definitely fit with the feelings she expressed when she was last sighted upon Faerun. |

Thats a good opinion, I think the Srinshee would have been happy being a being of pure thought. |

Hmmm. I seem to recall Ed provided some brief 'unofficial' 3e stats/rules advice for the Srinshee in the "Realmslore from Elminster in Myth Drannor" of The Annotated Elminster. Those stats declare the Srinshee as a 54th level character [Wizard29/Sorcerer16/Archmage9]. |

All true...
One thing I realy find Sick/cool is the statement: I want her to be more powerful that Larloch in raw wizardly casting power. Her stats should be staggering in power ...
That statement is like... HOLY SH... Then she must be more or less the most powerful spell caster in all of Faerūn. Go home ye old bag o' bones! |

We're talking about a woamn who's probably a demi-god. I mean, in 3.5, I think avatars of lesser gods were level 40. But she's lived as long or longer than some gods, and I think she might also be a pseudo-Chosen of the Seldarine. The questions is, what happens to her in 4e? Hmm... I'm off to ask Ed if we'll see her soon... maybe we'll hear about her in ELminster must die... |
