	Deadz-Dot-Org :: Interview with Elminster: First time to Frore.
		Elminster says, “We headed up there and questioned the healer we then found that he was headed to Bandit Castle.
		Elminster says, “That was an awful battle, as we had to kill one we once called brother.
		Elminster says, “Poet was one such melee person who died defending us against the brunt of attacks, may her efforts be noted.

	Elminster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elminster is generally understood to be an alter ego of Ed Greenwood, the creator of the game world, although Greenwood vehemently denies this.
		Elminster is perhaps the most famous person on Toril, and certainly the most eminent sage in Faerûn.
		Before Elminster was a mage, he was the son of a prince of the dead kingdom of Athalantar who was murdered by archmages.

	Elminster
		Elminster has perhaps the best private library in the Realms, and hence is often consulted on matters of history and genealogy, but he is most famous as the foremost authority on rare and arcane magic, and on dangerous and unusual beasts.
		Elminster enhoys imparting wisdom to others, but intensely dislikes giving up the time necessary to train a magic-user to a new level of mastery, and will not undertake such tutelage for those with whom he is not friendly or to whom he's not beholden.
		Elminster's precise age is unknown (he will coyly evade any questions on this topic), but he is at least 600 winters of age - and presumably the user of potions of longevity and vitality, and perhaps also a regular imbiber of elixir of life potions.

	The Elminster Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series explains Elminster's life before he was well-known across Faerûn and some periods of time where either no-one or only the powerful mages knew where he was.
		Elminster is one of the most powerful mages in Faerûn.
		Elminster is often seen around the world helping people for the good of the world.

		Elminster explains, as they appear somewhere else, that this is his first lesson: there's always something bigger, nastier, or luckier than you are.
		Instead, Elminster takes Presto to a wizard's bar (the picture on the signboard is the original TSR wizard logo), where Jeff Grubb plugs one of his own characters - Volo, wanderer, mage, and writer of travelogues.
		Elminster gives Presto his staff and goes to engage the cleric; when he finds the man is protected from his magic, he drops a stone arch on him instead.

		Elminster had not taken an apprentice in many years, and had taken a liking to me, so it was decided that he would be my master in the studies of the arcane lore.
		Elminster used it constantly to light that pipe of his, (Even then I knew there was something odd about the pipe, but 'twas not for many a year that I knew of its true power).
		I told Elminster of this, and he assured me that Naragul was even more powerful now, for he had made alliances with several daemons of the lower planes, which could be called upon in times of need.

		Once Elminster is in hell, the exiled devil Nergal captures Elminster – who has exhausted most of his spells and is far from Mystra’s power.
		Elminster, clever old git that he is, manages to signal his allies, who attempt to mount a rescue.
		The Elminster in the stories – beyond being so powerful and infallible, traits guaranteed to create resentment in readers – is frequently depicted as getting off on humiliating people, his “allies” and “friends” included.

		Mastery of Elements: Elminster can prepare any arcane spell he knows with the acid, cold, fire, elecricity, or sonic designator to be cast as a different element.
		Elminster's long tale is told in amny books and guides, so read them there, if you'd please.
		Elminster can summon the pipe as if with Drawmij's instant summons without needing the components, form the smoke into simple, nonmagical symbols that last up to five rounds, and dimension door nine times per day with the pipe.

		It seemed we were stuck with the root, since neither Layrel nor Elminster could come in close contact with us (it inhibited their magic as well) and they could not think of another group who would not be tempted to use its power in ways which would ultimately be harmful, by intent or otherwise.
		Elminster also was able to outfit Kayna, Stargazer, and Zola with a spell which must be cast simultaneously, but which would kill the gods' souls.
		Elminster explained that the difficulty was, the gods now both considered us their mortal enemies--and neither could regain true godhood until he had killed all our party.

	Amazon.ca: Elminster In Hell : The Elminster Series: Books: Ed Greenwood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I wish the book focussed more on Elminster's past (and over 800 years, there should be quite a bit to write about), but instead the book focussed on one boring story to the next (similar to anthology).
		The last written book in the Elminster series turned out to be the least confusing book for me. His battles where still very confusing but the storyline was actually pretty good especially at the end.
		Stuck in Hell to save his friends Elminster is tortured and maimed by an Arch devil and his only way of being saved is to recall memories in which he sends out messages for help.

		I heard somewhere that Elminster was a 40th level mage.
		Elminster comes to see you after you have defeated and leave the lair of the fourth Bhaalspawn.
		The reason why Elminster has so many classes is because he’s Ed Greenwood’s (the creator of the Forgotten Realms) alter ego and the ultimate uber-munchkin.

		Elminster does not take Gandalf's joke well, and begins to show the old guy what's where when it comes to combat spells.

		A young shepherd boy, Elminster, vows revenge on the dragon-riding mage-lord who murders his family and destroys his village, and pursues careers as a brigand, thief, and priest before he discovers the power that can turn the mage-lords' magic against them.
		Elminster was after all a major mage in FR campaign setting and I wanted to hear his tale.
		The path that leads from, Elminster, being a vehemence hater of magic to the beginnings of his love affair with the art is well told and believable.

	Dragonlance Movie Site Forums - Raistlin vs. Elminster
		Elminster would actually have even more XP than his level shows, as he would've incurred XP penalties for all his multiclassing.
		Khelben the Younger lives in Greyhawk; Mordenkainen has visisted Waterdeep; Fistandantilus met with Elminster (and was advised to keep his meddling to his own world, as I recall); and on multiple occassions, Elminster, Mordenkainen, and Dalamar met and discussed various issues.
		While people are comparing Elminster to Raistlin, one must remember that Elminster is powerful and healthy, well over a thousand years old, and has the aid of a greater goddess of magic on his side.

		Elminster, on the other hand, is over a thousand years old.
		It was once, when the gods held a great gathering that Tempus the human god of war and Moradin the god of all Dwarves had a heated conversation about the superior prowess of their patrons.
		Obviously Elminster hasn't just recently gained those few cleric levels, for example; like many of the mechanical changes across the vary editions, his levels are considered retconned for the entirety of his development as a character.

		Or if your plan should happen to include attacking Elminster when he's not in Shadowdale, please be prepared to explain how you knew where he was going to be far enough in advance for your party to set up the ambush.
		Role-play Elminster like the guy who actually has lived this many centuries against the determined efforts of that many Realms villains, some of them much buffer than you, who have all repeatedly tried to kill him.
		Elminster's Evasion is a special, wish-powered, chain contingency that Elminster has active on him at all times, canonically.

	Talk:Elminster Mire - Gamegrene - Ghyll
		Elminster Mire originates from discussions in the ur-Ghyll: the Ghyll that existed nine months before the version you're looking at now.
		Anyways, though my memory is clouded, I recall the "hook" of the articles being that the author was stuck (secretly) inside this full body suit of armor whilst the greatest mages sat at a table sipping tea and discussing matters of great import.
		The definition of stillicide is pretty oddish for a crisis ("A continual falling or succession of drops; rain water falling from the eaves"), so I decided to just skip it and maybe attack it in a more macro environmental entry.

	Elminster in Hell
		The latest installment of the Elminster series, and for all those who have read the saga from the beginning, this book promises more of the same blast and die action that has become an Elminster trademark.
		This book has a twist though, most of the book is made up of Elminsters memories, interspersed with dialogue between the great sage and his archdemon, or the rush of Elminsters friends to come to his rescue.
		I have an idea for a plot, lets put Elminster at the mercy of an insanely powerful creature bent on discovering the secrets of silver fire and then have Toril's elite magic users, including a goddess come to the rescue of the old man. Now lets add the twists, oh wait, there are none.

		Elminster, Sage of Shadowdale, Chosen of Mystra, faces his most desperate struggle - to survive, to escape, to cling to his very sanity - and all the forces of the inferno are rallied against him.
		However, I was not really charmed by the "conversations" between Elminster and Nergal, which took place in Elminster's mind.
		The spell battle to free Elminster from the clutches of Nergal at the end of the book though, is epic and fantastic.

	Hordelings: Miniatures Enthusiasts -- Strategy: Elminster + Storm ?
		The color spray, in Elminster's hands, is a DC 15 stun cone--near the end of battle, that could save Elminster or Storm from being hit (and, combined with Mystra's curse and blur, this could really screw with an opponent's chances of causing damage).
		The best mage to team up with Elminster in 200/8 is the Adventuring Wizard, I feel, and he's still not enough.
		I think Elminster's spiffy as a character and ought to be viable in competitive play outside of Epic format.

		As one poster explained, these characters are generally only there for background colour...not as characters to be used in every game session..and i'd find it hard to believe that Ed Greenwood would be the kind of dm to haul the pcs around after Elminster.
		I've seen it in games at our club, where a DM makes up a cheezy character and the party is forced to follow her around (cheezy as in a tiefling priest of who transforms later on into a Baatezu ugh..) in any case...i digress...

		Elminster’s Daughter is the latest in the Elminster series from author Ed Greenwood and is published by Wizards of the Coast.
		Ultimately, she is given a choice to serve the Crown or be returned to Waterdeep and be forever looking over her shoulder for those who would seek gain from capturing or killing the daughter of Elminster.
		Besides the main story that deals with Vangerdahast and his final quest to protect Cormyr, the stormy relationship between Narna and her father, Thayan machinations, and Narna’s efforts to avoid capture by War Wizards, there are countless other dangling ends hanging about.

	The Friends of the Merril Collection - SOL Rising
		To be regarded as a friend, and asked to name babies (even father babies!) at conventions, write blessings as myself or as Elminster at weddings (and even preside over weddings, regardless of my utter lack of religious credentials to do so!) by fans all over the world is both gratifying and a little overwhelming.
		Excalibur, remove the skullcap, and change the red hair to dark brown, the result will be pretty close to Elminster's whimsical behaviour and general looks; Old El of course predates the movie, too.
		So Elminster has a little bit of every old wise mysterious male character I'd read in my childhood in him.
