#1 maddog0714 Aug 10, 2008 11:57:32	A few questions concerning the Knights of Myth Drannor. 1. At what year and where did they originate? 2. Did they ever fall, or were they disbanded? 3. I know that they reformed or something in 1375DR with Ilsevel Miritar in Myth Drannor, but why were they live in Shadowdale at the time?
#2 18DELTA Aug 10, 2008 12:01:12	-1348 DR The Year of the Spur for #1 IIRC. The rest I don't know. 18DELTA ;)
#3 maddog0714 Aug 10, 2008 12:08:27	I thought it was 1348DR, but I thought for some reason they formed earlier. Why name them Knights of Myth Drannor? why not knights of Shadowdale? was there a reason?
#4 lord_karsus Aug 10, 2008 13:58:10	-Reading the Knights of Myth Drannor series would be a good way of getting a lot of this information "first hand".

I'd love to read it but I work 12 hours a day, and kind'a needed the info soon for upcoming adventure I'm DMing. Thought maybe someone here might know, guess not.

#7 guivre Aug 10, 2008 14:56:10	-Reading the Knights of Myth Drannor series would be a good way of getting a lot of this information "first hand". I'd get the information out of the campaign guides myself. I gave "Shadowdale" and the begining of "Tantras" a try. They're both complete ****, after that I'm unwilling to try any FR books, sad really.
#8 lord_karsus Aug 10, 2008 15:04:19	-I had no problem with either book. Opinions differ, oh well.
#9 18DELTA Aug 10, 2008 15:10:37	-Yeah it looks like we need Old Sage, Krash, or BRJ to save the day! :D I never really got into them, or the Harpers, or The Chosen. ;) 18DELTA
#10 The_Simbul_of_Aglarond Aug 10, 2008 15:13:28	The lived in Shadowdale because their task was to guard and patrol the ruins of Myth Drannor, not to resettle it. Shadowdale was their base of operations since it was a haven/point of light, though now its likely just another farming settlement with an increased fey presence. Moreover, prior to reclamation of the city 1374 DR, it was generally not a good idea to try to live in the ruins of Myth Drannor itself.
#11 zanan Aug 10, 2008 17:21:09	Well, there Hall of Heroes as well as the Heroes' Lorebook has information on the lot of them, especially the former. Yet, be warned readers of the trilogy that some information may not be welcome regarding the fate of some of them ... as I sadly found out while doing a revision on KoMD II.

Which as I recall from your own words you have not;) Great novels, some of Ed's best in my opinion. No overpowered or underpowered characters, though there is still the typical massive slaughter of hirelings and mages in an almost comical fashion that I have seen exemplified in his work, as well as the dialogue.
#13 lord_karsus Aug 11, 2008 0:02:37	Which as I recall from your own words you have not;) -Indeed, haven't read them, and not really too interested right now, either.
#14 GreenKnight Aug 11, 2008 0:57:03	Moreover, prior to reclamation of the city 1374 DR, it was generally not a good idea to try to live in the ruins of Myth Drannor itself. I actually tried moving in there, once. ;) Sadly with the DM getting burnt out, and my having to take over the DM reigns, combined with my discomfort with running a DM PC, I had to give up those plans.
#15 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Aug 11, 2008 12:41:04	Ed's Knights of Myth Drannor series goes a long way in explaining how the KoMD got started, including why they are called "The Knights of Myth Drannor". It's not that they ever disbanded, it's just that many of the most well known members retired and settled down.
#16 faraer Aug 11, 2008 15:48:00	1. Espar. 2. No. The Knights' history after 1358 DR, where Ed's campaign is at, has been kept vague in print. FR7 Hall of Heroes is where to go for a potted summary. There's no comparison between the Shadowdale and Tantras novels, written before authors other than Ed and Jeff Grubb knew the Realms' arse from its elbow, and the Knights books.
#17 merrikcale Aug 12, 2008 21:38:21	2. No. The Knights' history after 1358 DR, where Ed's campaign is at, has been kept vague in print. in respect to Ed's campaign we should all go back to 1358
#18 GreenKnight Aug 13, 2008 3:56:48	in respect to Ed's campaign we should all go back to 1358 Hmm, now there's a thought...
#19 lord_karsus Aug 13, 2008 11:50:25	we should all go back to 1358 -And lose all of the positive development that has happened since then? I think not.
#20 merrikcale Aug 13, 2008 21:17:31	-And lose all of the positive development that has happened since then? I think not. 1358 is better than 1479
#21 lord_karsus Aug 13, 2008 22:48:14	1358 is better than 1479 -But not as good as, say, 1372. But, none of this has to do with the Knights of Myth Drannor!
#22 merrikcale Aug 13, 2008 22:48:49	-But not as good as, say, 1372. But, none of this has to do with the Knights of Myth Drannor! I would agree with you
