actually the Icewind Dale trilogy was out first then Salvatore did a prequel with the Dark Elf trilogy then Legacy of the Drow and so on. Anyways, Forgotten Realms is the most populor fantasy world and they are hundreds of books of it. Elmister and Volo are also in a lot of Forgotten Realms novels. Myth Drannor, Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale are all parts of Faerun. O and Bruenor (the dwarf guy) forged the hammer for his friend Wulfgar, if thats what your talking about.

It's red... RED! :D

yeah i love how everything joins 2gether! have any of u guys played the Eye of Beholder series for the amiga? they are set in Waterdeep, i used to play them when i was younger..although the graphics are mediocre, i loved them games at the time :D

Giga Ettin, what do you mean used to love them? I don't care how advanced we get with the gaming experience; I'll always be able to go back to the first nintendo system. I still play the big fat clunky grey gameboy for goodness sake.

heh what i meant was i havnt played them for a very long time although we did buy all 3 for the PC, EoTB3 didnt work right :( the other 2 did and i played them and did them again :D i just havnt played them for a while...
I also did D&D: Warriors of the eternal sun again, recently but it doesnt connect to the D&D world cos they were transported to a realm of forgotton races.....
