What do You think about Elminster In Myth Drannor (1998)?
Not too shabby. We join Elminster, Old Mage and the last Prince of Athalantar as he enters the elven city of Cormanthor and helps them to weave the magic of the first of the great Mtyhals and transform the city forever into Myth Drannor. A place destined in Realms history to be a place of great magic, beauty, and terror.This is the beginning of the end of a great elven age here. Cormanthor, long walled off from the rest of the world, opens their doors to the 'lesser' races, and in time this attempt to reconnect the elves with the rest of the world destroys them.Classic Realms at its best. Murder, mystery, adventure, and meddling gods, as Mystra is the one to tell Elminster to go to Cormanthor and learn what he can of magic from the elves.I found myself skimming in places to move on with the story. Ed Greenwood seems to get a little bit long winded here, but otherwise I really enjoyed it.

Esta segunda entrega de la serie, tras Elminster: La Forja De Un Mago, comienza con el viaje hasta la Ciudad del Canto, y la dura negativa de la mayoría de los elfos nobles a aceptar entre ellos a un humano. La siguiente parte (francamente aburrida) sitúa a Elminster aprendiendo magia élfica bajo las órdenes del Enmascarado, para finalmente enfrentarse a los elfos que desean eliminar a su rey (que pretende abrir las fronteras a todos los pueblos).A mi parecer, un libro francamente innecesario.{Más detalles de la serie en mi reseña del cofre inicial: Elminster: La forja de un mago, Elmnster en Myth Drannor y La tentación de Elminster}
