I recently finished "The Trilogy of the Dragon King" by Stephen Lawhead. Honestly, for players of this mud, I believe this is a must read. Truly genuine examples of cabals and qclasses we have here will fill your dreams, and ambitions. If you enjoy reading, as I do, visit your local library and check these books out. Personally I am a fan of such writers as, Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, Salvatore, and Mercedes Lackey. I had never read one of Lawheads books before, but I am instantly a fan. His books are not as action driven as Salvatore's, but they do have that prophecy feel that Goodkind and Brooks toy with. Enjoy.

I read that series 15-20 years ago.

It introduced me to Fantasie series.

Quite interesting, it's a bit low in Magic. But so cool if you are young.

Sthephen Lawhead, has another trilogy that is even cooler for adults.

"The Paradise War

The Song of Albion: Book I"

It's quite interesting. Not D&D, as characters grow as the book progresses.

I saw so much of the crusader and lich class in these books, as well as atypical warmaster mentality from Nin, the old god of war and his warlords. While he is not overly dramatic in his arcane writings, Nimrood, certainly commanded it. Albeit, the story is not about magic, and arcane spells are rare in the series as opposed to the number of times this character or that "prays". I noticed he has a lot of books, which is why I picked these out. I will certainly look for those Mya.

How old are you now? :P

She's just the right age for me and at the age where she can't be bothered with little boys, so, shoo! ;)

On the other hand, if you're looking for Forgotten Realms books, you must know about the Drizzt books.

However, I just re-read the Cleric Quintet, another excellent series.

I also recommend these classics: The Avatar Trilogy and Pages of Pain (even though it's a Planescape book, it has an FL feel to it).

Age Smage, I would also tell you all to read Captains Courageous, and my personal copy was printed in 1896. Its possible atleast one person here read that one over forty years ago, as well as the 1940's Stevenson version of The Black Hawk. I had merely never read any of Lawhead's books, though I was aware of their existance.

Yes, I am familiar with those, but I would like to know in what order should I start reading them. The order in which they were published or the chronoligal order in the FR?

[edit] Almost forgot about your jab old man, at least I don't get tired after five minutes of it :)

Read the Avatar Trilogy first.

The Drizzt series, IMHO, is best read by it's publish dates due to the fact that the Dark Elf Trilogy hints/outright tells things that happened in the Icewind Dale Trilogy.

Now, here's where it gets a bit tricky. Characters from the Cleric Quintet show up later in the Drizzt series. So, I recommend you read the Cleric Quintet before you start the third book (Siege of Darkness) in the Legacy of the Drow series.

And I still haven't read the Halfing's Gem....I really want to know what happens to Artemis... :cool:

If you like those check out Daughter of the Drow as well. I haven't read it through but it looked like it had potential.

I haven't read it myself, but I've read a lot of side/spoiler material and I can tell you what happens :P

As for what to read next, the Avatar Trilogy seems quite interesting, just as the whole idea of Gods walking the earth is, so I am gonna go with it for now.

Although I was expecting to see more of my favourite Pharaun, Danifae, Quanthel, Gromph and mostly Aliisza :)

I've read almost every book in Salvatore's Faerun series. My favorite characters are Pharaun and Ryld. Gromph was also a badass. The only books I have yet to read are the newest sellsword books or the transitions books. (Pirate' date=' Orc, Ghost Kings)[/quote']

From the spoilers I've read, somewhere is said that Aliisza is pregnant from Pharaun and resurrects him in later stage with that piece of him she gets after his death in Lolth's domain...

want an old time religion/fantasy/adventure/romance/incest/demon summoning/magic/self mutilation/perverse/sadomasochistic/sexual/ banditry/devil wins in the end? plus a ghost story right in the middle of it as an oratory tale from one of the characters to another that could be a great short story on its own.

The Monk: A Romance is a Gothic novel by Matthew Gregory Lewis, published in 1796, before he turned 20.

Balls to the wall crazy, read it in Gothic Lit over a decade ago.
