Salvatore, and Steven Schend.  I am also a fan of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.  And there are a number of other FR and DL authors I have read and like, and I apologize to them for not remembering their names and placing them here in honor.  I think the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance settings are great, and wish to say so.  Now, perhaps, not all of the elves of these settings are the way I see High Elves (Oh, where are you going, with beards all a-wagging?  No knowing, no knowing ...)  But who can read about Arilyn Moonblade and Elaith Craunobar, Coronal Eltargrim and the Srinshee, the noble and doomed defense of Myth Drannor and Qualinost, the heroism and tragedy of Laurana, Tanis, the story of Zaknafein and Drizzt, and not be moved?</blockquote>
