I finished the Icewind Dale Trilogy and was greatly pleased with all things inside those pages. My copy, a 1st print, has a map in which Drizzt’s exiled home, Icewind Dale, doesn’t even appear, Salvatore choosing a place beyond the current mythos of the realm. So powerful were these books that they actually changed the map of the Forgotten Realms campaign world. Little did I know as I flipped through the very fun, and incredibly D&D-like novel, that a periphery character named Drizzt D’Urdin would go on to be perhaps the most famous D&D character of all time.

At that point a great portion of my life was wrapped up in The Forgotten Realms where the novel took place. Long ago, in a time known a college I read my first R.A.
