Elminster Speaks

Elminster Speaks was a webseries of articles by Ed Greenwood published (roughly) twice a month from 04/04/2001–04/30/2003. The series featured articles about three cities in the Forgotten Realms: Voonlar (33 articles), Delzimmer (14 articles), and Khôltar (17 articles), plus a few about points in-between. The entire series may be downloaded as a 89-page PDF file, or the individual articles can still be viewed in the Elminster Speaks archive. To cite passages from either of these two sources, you may use the pre-made citation templates.

"The Sage of Shadowdale has something to say about pretty much everything. Despite having pages in Dragon Magazine, Dungeon Adventures, and Polyhedron Newszine, the Old Mage still has more to speak of the Realms. Not wanting to anger an archmage, we decided it would be best to give him a weekly column from which to discuss the finer points.

Listen well, young one..."
