Elminster in Myth Drannor is a story about a developing, somewhat naive but powerful mage that is sent to Cormanthor to aid the city in some manner deemed necessary by his god, Mystra.

—Talonar tavern song Seething in the heart of a rage greater than he could ever remember feeling, Jalandral tried his best attack—and found it anticipated and easily blocked. The Raskshaula spellblade seemed to be waiting for him. How could this old fool—?! He hadn’t even realized he’d snarled th...
Evenfeast was served in the feast hall to Lord Halaunt and the three surviving guests, who had grown understandably wary. They shot sharp glares in all directions, often. And were more sharp and difficult than ever. As Myrmeen put it, peering throug...
