If you provided a page of brief character stats for 5e at the back I'm sure you could claim it was not a novel.
Nope. A novel with a stats appendix is still a novel.
It DMG is accepting fiction, I'd be more likely to do a novella than a novel. |

Hi Elaine!
I was wondering if you could answer a few questions (whenever you have the time).
- Did Tzigone and Matteo have any children and, if so, would their descendant be the current King/Queen in present day Halruaa?
- I love Sun Elves and was wondering, was Tintageer the only sun elf realm in Faerie?
- Last but not least... are you able to shed any light on where Amlaruil is?
Thank you so much Elaine! 'Evermeet' and your Halruaa trilogy are still some of my favorite books. |

Hi, Naeryndam. Thanks for the kind words re Evermeet and Halrua!

They did not--at least, not with each other. It is my opinion that Matteo and Tzigone remained close but platonic friends throughout their lives.

The lore on Faerie was written after my time in the Realms. I haven't kept up with new developments, so unfortunately, I don't have the information needed to answer this question.

I don't know what Amlaruil's Official Story is, if indeed there is one, but I would imagine that she finally moved on to Arvandor. It's interesting that the lore is so vague on this question. She was an important figure in the Realms for a very long time, and yet her departure is explained with, "Nope, not there anymore. Move along--nothing to see here."
Perhaps someday the story will be told of Evermeet's strange departure from the Realms, her sojourn in the realm of Faerie, and her eventual return--along with the story of what became of her queen and who's running the show now.
(If by chance the Powers That Be are considering such a tale, I just MIGHT be available....) |

Well, there's the cover, all we need now is all the words that go inside it :)
The words exist. Kinda sorta. I wrote about half the story, and I still have the file. If the opportunity arises, I would love to finish it.
But it would, of necessity, be a very different story. For one thing, much time has passed and the Realms has moved on. For another, the moonblade lore experienced some significant shifts while I was writing the novel, which pretty much cut the legs out from under the plot. The book I'd planned to write couldn't be written, but there are many ways to tell a tell, and Arilyn is nothing if not resilient.
Wouldn't mind the other half-done ones as well. P.S. Forget what they did with the rest of the realms. I know I try to :)
Somehow I missed this comment. Apologies for the long delay in responding!
There are only ("only!") two half-finished novels: Reclamation and The Serpent's Daughter. |

Thank you for such a quick reply Elaine!
Someday, if FR novels or even short stories ever become a 'thing' again, I would love to hear about the lives of Matteo and Tzigone. Not to mention what happened to Amlaruil, Lamruil and the mysterious realm of Auseriel, etc.
Halruaa and Evermeet are my two favorite places in the Realms, largely because of the life you breathed into them. I hope that there will come a day when I can read about them again, even with new characters and in a new era. |
