I've never played or dmed in the Forgotten Realms, but from reading the campaign book and it having such a wealth of great information, I want to implement my own version of the Forgotten Realms. The only real problem I have with the realms is the lack of elven influence. The dwarves have the rift and can easily be placed in mountains anywhere. The elves don't seem to have much of a standing since the retreat, so now that the retreat has stopped, I was thinking of having them retake Myth Drannor. I was thinking have a couple dozen elves (all wizards and a the PCs and couple other guards) come over on boat, land South of the Mere of Dead Men and travel through the Sword Mountain and Krypt Garden Forest. Then up to the High Forest (where they will be welcomed by the elves there) and then head on the Black Road through Anauroch and retake Myth Drannor and build it up as a major elven metropolis. The PCs would be the advance scouts and would end the adventures with the Attack on Myth Drannor adventure. Then the wizards would open up a portal to Evermeet and elven fighters would come through and they would retake Myth Drannor and their families would come later. Is this a good idea or should it be left like it is?
