Jun 27, 2012 10:05:08 Hi folks,

I am in the process of writing a Icewind Dale 2 fanfiction, which includes the IWD2 NPC mod. However, finding the necessary lore about Luskan during 1310 DR is a pain in the butt. I'm trying to get my hands on The Pirate King, but is there any official guides you would suggest?

I'm relatively new to the lore side of Forgotten Realms, sure I've played the games (NWN/BG saga ect), but not really delved into the books or D&D campaign stuff. For example, I was happily writing away under the assumption that the Host Tower was already in operation around 1310…then I hunt a little deeper in FR Wiki and find Arklem Greeth doesn't come in till 1311. As you can see, noob here =/

So again, any advice on where to go to get the info? Are there any novels that deal with Luskan in any detail? Strategy guides? Is the 1310 DR 2E or 3E? I appreciate any advice folk can give.

I'm no expert on Luskan lore. The only book I can think of that might have more information for you is The Grand History of the Forgoten Realms.

if you receive no further replies here, you may wish to try the Chamber of Sages shelf over on the Candlekeep.com forums.

Best of luck in your search.

Jun 27, 2012 19:47:00 Luskan formerly known as Ilusk was a trade hub built for ancient netheril.....

one of the drizzt books other than pirate king takes palce here.

some of the older material such as
the savege north or something
volo's guide to the north
and a few others describe the palce in better detail.

Sadly finding any of them is next to nil as WOTC took those files down and if they are available for sell in hard form its going to be expsensive.

in detail, the 4e frcg has a map of the city.....

you know thi might be of help too

go look for the readers guide to the legend of drizzt( may not be its actual title) I think it had something on the city too.

I think you're right about The Reader's Guide.

I've looked at it a time or two (longingly, at the campus bookstore) and seem to recall it has a map of Luskan and some info on the place. Not sure if it has a map key or not.

In the Neverwinter Saga guide you'll find much material reproduced from the Reader's Guide, inlcuding the awesome overhead map view of Luskan.

Hope this helps!
