Hi everyone :)
Few days ago I've read a text about brave heroes - The Band of Seven, group of men whose greatest achievment was victory over Tiamat nad Orcus avatars (or something like that)! I know that one of them was Gareth Dragonsbane, king of Damara. Do you know personalities of the other members of the Band? And what was the most important goal of the band? Killing the evil demons and deities or something else?

I hope that my questions aren't too difficult for you ;) I will be grateful for your help :)

Well, if IIRC than the brave heroes you are talking about are the pre-generated characters for the Bloodstone adventure quartet (H 1-4) and they are detailed in the various adventures (H1 - Bloodstone Pass, H2 - The Mines of Bloodstone, H3 - The Bloodstone War, H4 - The Throne of Bloodstone ).
They are with name and class level given at the beginning of the H4 adventure:

1. Sir Gareth Dragonsbane, Baron of Bloodstone (19th-level Human Paladin (Cavalier))
2. Sir Olwyn Forest-Friend (19th-level Human Ranger)
3. Friar Dugald, Cleric of the Order of St. Dionysus, Knight of Bloodstone (19th-level Human Cleric)
4. Sir Celedon Kierney (8th-level Half-Elf Magic-User/22th level Thief-Acrobat)
5. Sir Riordan Parnell (19th-level Half-Elf Bard)
6. Sir Emlyn the Gray, Court Wizard of Bloodstone (19th-level Human Magic-User)
7. Kane, Master of Spring (16th-level Human Monk)

there is also the old Bloodstone Lands accessory...which talks about the aftermath of the war and what the heros evolved into (and was pretty much the only canon source for the Bloodstone Lands until well into 3.5 D&D)

A few of them have been updated/stat'd for 3/3.5e also, mostly in the FRCS.

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

What about Mariabonne (or whatever his name is) from the Salvatore book return of the witch-king? Was he part of Gareth's posse?

No, but according to Road of the Patriarch, he was Olwyn's protege.

"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

I was only able to find the stats for Gareth Dragonsbane in the FRCS (p. 108).

Could you, Kuje, or anybody else help me with some of those others, please?

That's the only one, sorry. I should have said just one has been updated but I didn't. :)
