First and most importantly; where’s all the Drizzt books?
Second, under Shandril’s Saga there’s a bit of humor, or a “Clown of Fire” (hard to be a typo as the R and L keys are too far apart).
Forgotten realms was created by ed greenwood not salvatore. Salvatore is one of many many authors who write for forgotten realms.
Thanks for the correction!
Sorry but R.A. Salvatore’s first novel was written in 1988 The Crystal Shard not in 1998 as it said in your top article. So please correct your typo. Thank you for your time. And i really enjoy he forgotten realms books. Really Big Fan of R.A. Salvatore.
Thanks for pointing that out. As you said, it was a mere typo.
