Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms by Ed Greenwood "''"Tis the besetting doom of humans that they forget. This was in fact why thy mother or a teacher advised thee — just as sages in the Realms advise Faerûnians — "Write it down." Well, now we have done just that. "Twas about time, too!"

With those words, Elminster of Shadowdale welcomes you to Faerûn and invites you to join Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms setting, on a guided tour of his famous world. This tome also presents never-before-seen notes and previously unpublished material written by Ed many years ago, when he and Faerûn were both younger."

The Forgotten Realms is the most successful and widely known Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting ever created, and it owes its existence to creator Ed Greenwood.

This 160-page hardcover book describes the campaign setting as it lives and breathes in the imagination of its creator. Through the alter ego of Elminster, Archmage of Shadowdale, Ed Greenwood presents the Realms as a setting where companies of crazed adventurers are born and have rich lives, and where they get to call the shots. In this book, Ed presents a world where friendships are forged, endless intrigues unfold, and heroes wage war against the monstrous inhabitants of famous dungeons and untamed wildernesses.

Charon's Claw is an R.A. Salvatore novel that concludes The Neverwinter Saga books that began with Gauntlgrym. It focuses on how Drizzt Do'Urden and Dahlia Sin'felle face Herzgo Alegni and preludes the arrival of Dagult Neverember in Neverwinter.

"In the conclusion to the #4 New York Times best-selling Neverwinter Saga, Drizzt draws his swords once more to herald a final battle for freedom. Returning to Neverwinter alongside the beautiful elf Dahlia, he plots revenge against the dictatorial Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni, then joins old foe Artemis Entreri as he seeks to destroy the magical weapon that holds him hostage — even if destroying the weapon means his own destruction as well."

Elminster Aumar, the Sage of Shadowdale. 

  "Knowledge of our world is to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed words unwritten—and set them down ere they fade."
