I am now reading Spellfire, finally one that with Elminster more involved (I only saw Elminster in the Avatar Series (exclude shadows of the Avatar)); But what interest me are the knights of Myth Drannor.
Are there any novels which tells me of their history? I want to find out more about the people in Shadowdale; (Storm Silverhand/all the knights of Myth Drannor/Sylune?)
In Spellfire, I happened to see that, Merith (was it him?correct me if I am wrong), has ever been nominated the lord of Shadowdale but he rejected the position in the end. Any reference to that?
The best you could help is to direct me to the novel featuring them.
**I know Ed Greenwood is coming up with Knights of Myth Drannor - Eveningstar, will that be the only novel I will have direct contact with the knights? :-)

The Knights put in an appearance in the following books
Shadow of the Avatar Trilogy
Spellfire, Crow of Fire and Hand of Fire
Shadowdale and Tantras (Books 1 and 2 of the Avatar trilogy)
If you can find a copy of the old 1ed Grey Boxset it gives details about them to |

There's a lot of references to the Knights in at least five to six sourcebooks.
1e's campaign box set
2e's campaign box set
Cormyr sourcebook
Ruins of Myth Drannor box set
Hall of Heroes
Heroes Lorebook
Ruins of Zhentil Keep box set
FR Adventures
Ed's and THO's replies here on Candlekeep about those characters, the link is in my sig. |

Kuje and Dargoth, thanks for your help~
I will try to get these books soon~
Hmm, forgive me, I guess I have just realised what I REALLy wanted to ask;-
I wanted to know the story of the knights, well before the Shandril's Saga~ Maybe a time where they've fought together, in an epic battle perhaps? I guess that would be in Ed Greenwood's Knights of Myth Drannor Trilogy (?)
I am really low on realmslore.......-_- sorry guys.

There's bits of history in those sourcebooks, but for the tales, you have to wait like the rest of us for the new trilogy. :) |

Ok, so I've thought, actually, I have only been reading novels alone, and played a couple FR PC games, I always try to avoid spoilers as I believe my realmslore is like only a few percent out of the total :-(.
Sometimes, if I come across articles or any topics on areas and characters, I just don't seem to "kick the ball" properly, coz I havent read anything about them and do not know where to look for them :-(. I only own some of the novels and downloaded some of the realmslore from Candlekeep to learn more, but I just can't seem to gel the lore together.....(most of them)
Maybe I can show you what I've got and see what you share a piece of advise on which direction I should go first ??
Novels:
The Baldur's Gate Trilogy
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate II - Shadows of Amn
Throne of Bhaal
The Moonshae Trilogy
Darkwalkers on Moonshae
Black Wizards
Darkwell
The Druidhome Trilogy
Prophet of Moonshae (unread)
The Last Mythal Trilogy
Forsaken House
Farthest Reach
The Scions of the Arrabar
The Sapphire Crsent
The Ruby Guardian
The Emerald Scepter
The Avatar Series
Shadowdale
Tantras
Waterdeep
Prince of Lies
Crucible - Trial of Cyric the Mad
The Rogues
The Alabaster Staff
The Black Bouquet
The Crimson Gold (Unread)
The Yellow Silk (Unread)
Shandril's Saga
Spellfire (Reading)
Crown of Fire (unread)
Hand of Fire (Unread)
The Finder's Stone Trilogy
Azure Bonds (unread)
The Wyvern Spur (unread)
songs of the Saurials (unread)
Silverfall - Stories of the Seven Sisters (unread)
Best of the Realms Book I (unread)
Realms of the Elves (unread)
Harpers - Curse of the Shadow Mage (Unread)
PC games
Baldurs Gate I & II + all expansion
Icewind Dale I + expansion
Neverwinter Nights (SoU & HoU)
Thats about all I have about the Realms and I think I am merely a tales seeker at the moment .....
About the Source books and Campaign Settings, I have not purchase any since I am not sure what they are about; What would I know from reading these books?
Sorry for being such a nuisance in the Forum, if you can advise me one way or any other that would be so great!
I thank you for reading~ |

I think you are off to a great start! Check out ebay and you can often times find good deals on FR stuff. Additionally there is a web site called paizo.com. it has lots of sourcebooks on PDF for about 4.00 us each.

nobleknight.com or dragonstrove also has many of the hard copies.
But yeah, you should pick up some sourcebooks if you want some of thier history as well as the novels.
And you can also, as I said, dig through Ed's and THO's replies about them, which are in my sig. Use the index. :) |

I know how you feel, I was stationed in Korea for a year in the Army and had to keep sending wish lists to my family for more realmslore, novels, video games, everything.  |
