Due to the age of this scroll, back then I would have wondered why the Finder's Stone trilogy missed the list. As of to date: my pick would be "The Twilight War" trilogy hands down. |

I believe the original poster was listing the trilogies he'd read.
I personally voted for that trilogy, though, back on the first page. The Finder's Stone books remain among my faves, and I still recommend them to people. |

Without a doubt my favorites are the Erevis Cale trilogies. The Twilight War Trilogy is something that I come back to every 6 months or so. I just can't wait for the release of Godborn after so many years. To tide me over, it's going to be some more of Paul's writing. His new book hits really soon! |

Neither to me. I wonder if there would come a time when Elminster is spared from being portrayed as a doddering fool. |

Its not an official trilogy per se, but the first 3 novels of the Brotherhood of the Griffon have an excellent narrative that strikes a good balance between warfare and political intrigue. Aoth is one of my favorite characters to come from the Realms, and Tchazzar has grown to be one of my favorite antagonists.
I especially enjoyed the draconic lore in this unofficial trilogy as well as the look at dragonborn culture. |

Agreed, its was a very good series and I am looking forward to reading more. Hope there are some more novels about the dragonborn as well, unlike some people i don't consider them ripoffs but a genuinely interesting species. |

Entromancer, Thauranil, thanks for the kind words.
I think the first three books of Brotherhood of the Griffon can legitimately be considered a trilogy. Together, they tell one big story, my first Chessenta story. Then, in Book 4, my Rashemen sequence begins. |

So far it's the Icewind Dale trilogy. |
