“ The weapon master threw his swords to the ends of the room and rushed in on Drizzt. He buried him in a hug so intense that it took the young drow a long moment to even realize what had happened.

"You have survived!" Zak said, his voice broken by muffled tears. "Survived the Academy, where all the others died!"”

I regularly think about this. It's so random and out of the blue. My favourite item in Forgotten Realms lore, the heart-shaped locket of friendship.

Started reading the Legend of Drizzt series this year and I just have to say, I get it now.

Some super high quality OC for y’all.

I recently started the Drizzt Do'Urdan series, and I'm on book three now. I think I've found my favorite part already.

Drizzt: There's an animal in my cave! Will it be my friend? Hello, friend, look at you stomping your little feet, and aren't those stripes on your back just fantastic?

Drizzt: Skunks are NOT friends, and now we have to find a new cave.

More and more I wish Earthsea had got the adaptation it deserved. An adaptation that loved and valued the incredible power of these books. An adaptation that captured the heart of Earthsea, it's gentle, stern atmosphere, it's passion and it's fire. And most importantly, an adaptation NOT JUST FULL OF WHITE PEOPLE. It's insulting.

Nowadays, fantasy adaptations are so key to bringing a fanbase and attention to older works. So this is my plea - read them! They're such incredible works of fiction, with POC mains and queer characters. If you're a fan of LOTR or WOT this is your jam. If you like Brandon Sanderson or James Islington, give it a go.

If they've passed you by, or you've never got round to reading them, this is your sign.

READ EARTHSEA

This is FR9: Bloodstone Lands (1989). As you saw earlier this week, halfway through the H-series modules, the Bloodstone Lands went from being generic to being tucked into the Forgotten Realms, near the Great Glacier. This is penned by none other than novelist R. A. Salvatore (one of fairly few game design credits for him, at least relative to his fiction output — I can only think of this and a credit on Menzoberranzan); weirdly the back cover says this book includes Icewind Dale, which…is nowhere near Bloodstone.

Anyway, this is a sourcebook, like most of the FR-series, dedicated to filling in details on the region (we’ll look at more of the series later in the year). This one is a bit unusual for having so much information already out there in the H-series, so it concentrates on the canon fallout from those modules (toned down somewhat, though I believe Orcus’ defeat in H4 is a plot point in Monte Cook’s Planescape campaigns, which details Orcus’ return) and details some neighboring regions as well. It’s fine, certainly no more dry than the average Realms region book, but it does feel a little bit more exhausted of potential in the wake of the H-series events.

Love this Larry Elmore cover painting, ooo-eeee, do I ever. Always rooting for the priests of Orcus. Interior art credited to Uttam, who I know nothing about and who is probably fine, though I have trouble parsing the images printed on the faux-parchment texture.

Artemis Entreri is a violent assassin with a code of independence and a tragic backstory. His only goal in life is to be "the most perfect fighter" (read: have the most bodacious toned body in all of Faerun).

He meets a handsome elf ONCE and immediately falls into a deep gay obsession about "defeating him" and "proving who is the stronger". The two then proceed to have a half-dozen of the most sloppy, erotic, steamy swordfights I've ever seen.

These events all occur in what I can only describe as the most heterosexual book series of all time. It's eating my soul.
