Greetings, does anyone have any cannon material on the Phoenix Guard? The only time I have come upon them is from Baldur's Gate. My thanks scribes.

| This was already discussed. http://www.candlekeep.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111#42714 and there appears to be no direct source describing this group that one can point to. The group namr may have had a passing reference ( A line line comment) that such a group exists. |

Nay nothing for you toregert.
All may not be lost, there are more eyes to read now then when the thread I linked to recieved its last post.
I do suspect that like Darksong Knights there is not much canon concerning them, but by now there might be more about the Phoenix Guard. |

| This was all I could find: http://myth-drannor.net/DlabraddathNet/z-Cormanthyr/retreat.htm I would be interested to know how accurate this info is. |

Hah, it has been a long time indeed since that question came up. A mystery of the Realms not developed yet... wonder if He of the Green Woods might know something...
From what I recall of the BG game, the Phoenix Guard in Nashkel seemed to have no obvious links to elves. The link to Myth-Drannor.net might be another Phoenix Guard. It wouldn't be the first time that there is a duplication of names... |

I would be interested as well if Mr. Greenwood could shed some light on this.
That is also a possibility. |

There could be more truth to that than most realise.
I've just come across a reference to a 2e kit called the 'Phoenix Guard' who are said to be tied to the worship of the Morning Lord. They seem to embody the aspect of "resurrection and renewal".
