Does anyone here have any information detailing Antarn the Sage's life or perhaps stats(if he is still alive)? The only information I can seem to find on him are quotes from "The High History of Faerunian Archmages Mighty".

| Where do these quotes appear? I'm not familiar with the name or the reference. |

| Well... I thought it might have been in Dragon #272 - Quotations of the Realms, but nope, 'twasn't so. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

There's no other information on Antarn. Try asking Ed Greenwood.

| I seem to recall a reference to a wizard with a similar name in the Shadowdale adventure, but I may be wrong here... |

At the beginning of each chapter in the early Elminster Series novels. |

| Ah. In that case, you'll need to pose the question to Ed. While some of the people those quotes come from have appeared in Realmslore, the vast majority of them have not. To the best of my knowledge, the quote you're referring to is the only such reference to this guy. |

Antarn the Sage is referenced (in name only) on both the "Book List for Tomes at Candlekeep" here at Candlekeep, and Steven's "The Candlekeep Collection."

A wonderful bit of flavor, I think. Here's the link: the Candlekeep Collection |

Indeed.
I often use many of these titles from time to time in my campaigns, filling out the shelves as such whenever the PCs are entering an important centre for learning.

As have I ever since that article appeared on WOTC's site all those years ago. My printed copy is getting pretty ragged cause it's been used so much. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
