Spoiler's for Elminster's Daughter and The Simbul's Gift.
At the end (of Elminster's Daughter) when Lady Laspeera told Narnra that not only wasn't she El's only daughter but that she and Queen Filfaeril both were and that "there are a lot of us"?? Did anyone else's jaw drop?
Now as Elminster has been around for several centuries and during that time it is only natural that he would have had several long term relationships that produced children but "a lot of us". And I don't remember how old Laspeera or Filfaeril are but seems to me that El has been Very busy lately!
He didn't know about Narnra, did he know about any of the other's? And if he did why wouldn't he have a child with The Simbul? In that book (The Simbul's Gift) you never heard his side of it, don't know if he addresses her wishes and his feeling about it elsewhere in print.

I am Talanfir Swiftfeet. (In)famous across the Swoardcoast as "Tal the Swift", Brandobaris´ seraph of mischief. If ye find yer shoelaces tied together while trying to catch a thief or meet a king who is angry because somebody switched the places of his chamberpot and his crown, ye can usually (try to) find me near.
If I had a halfling mother and a human father, would I be a half-halfling or a threequarterling? |

Um, okay. I guess her wording of "I too, am daugther of Elminster" (pg 373) confused me.
Being new to this forum (about 4 days) I don't really know what has been talked to death. Is there an easy way to look up previous threads, are they grouped by subject maybe?
