The Seven Sisters

[Memnoch]

Some info about the Seven Sisters, Chosen of Mystra, that you might find interesting.

The Seven Sisters were born to a ranger named Dornal Silverhand and his wife Elue Shundar, the Lady of the Gate, a powerful sorcerer, in the years 761 through 767 DR. Unknown to Dornal, during this time Elue harbored Mystra in her body, so that the couple's children were in fact Mystra's daughters as much as her own. Elue perished in 767, consumed by the divine power she held, and Dornal abandoned his family in grief.

Sylune (NG female human spectral harpist Wiz20/Sor2/Ftr2), the eldest, is dead now, slain defending Shadowdale from the attack of a red dragon. She was known as the Witch of Shadowdale, and she survives as a powerful but good-hearted ghost who still watches over the lands and people she loved in life.

Alustriel (CG female human Wiz20/Sor2/Acm2), the second sister, is the Lady of Silverymoon. She has devoted her life to buiding a realm of peace, learning and strength in the Silver Marches of the North.

Dove Falconhand (CG female human Rgr14/Sor9/Rog4/Hrp1) is unusual among her siblings in that her magical abilities are secondary to her skill at arms. She won renown as a Knight of Myth Drannor and is married to Florin Falconhand of the same band.

Storm Silverhand (CG female human Rog1/Ftr4/Sor12/Brd8/Hrp3), the famed Harper knight and the Bard of Shadowdale, has been a leader among the Harpers for many years.

Laeral Silverhand (CG female human Wiz19/Sor4/Rgr7) is known as the Lady Mage of Waterdeep. Along with her husband Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun she leads the Moonstars, a Harper splinter group that seeks to order the destiny of cities and nations in the North.

The Simbul (CN female human Sor20/Acm2/Wiz10) whose birth name, Alassra Shentrantra, is known only to her closest allies, rules Aglarond as its Witch-Queen. The Simbul is Sixth of the Seven, but she is the first with spellcraft. She is the most powerful wielder of arcane magic in Faerun, a sorcerer of such unfettered strength that she has single-handedly preserved her realm against the Red Wizards of Thay for generations.

The youngest daughter enters into few tales. Qilue Veladorn (CG female drow Clr16/Dis3) is a powerful cleric of the drow goddess Eilistraee and a drow herself (the circumstances of her birth were exceptional, to say the least).

All of the Seven are Chosen of Mystra, unaging mortals who hold some portion of the power of the Weave at Mystra's request. They serve as Mystra's agents in the world and aid all good folk against those who would harm and enslave them.

Interesting stuff as usual, Memnoch. I recognize Alustriel from a couple of the Drizzt books.

How would you rate The Seven Sisters as a book compared to other Forgotten Realms novels?
