[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1949140, member: 8461"] No debate on the WotC forums is ever settled. That said, it seemed pretty clear (to me) that Chosen and Seraph are the same thing, since in at least two cases, various differing products use both terms to refer to the same character. I wish I could recall the annotations more correctly, but one of them is Slarkrethel (from, IIRC, [I]Cloak & Dagger[/I] and [I]Lords of Darkness[/I] and the other is Malik, called a chosen in, IIRC again, [I]Lords of Darkness[/I]). *sigh* This is why I need to update that list... Mystra's are as follows (as well as I can reference these): [URL=http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Castle/2566/ed-aloevan.htm]Embrae Aloevan[/URL]. Srinshee is from the novel [I]Elminster in Hell[/I] (IIRC). Noumea Drathchild is in [I]The Magister[/I] (IIRC Alvaerele Tasundrym is in there too) and the novel [I]Cloak of Shadows[/I]. I think Nadrathen is in the novel [I]The Temptation of Elminster[/I], but I can't find anything to back that up. Ilyana, and her mother, Queen Amlaruil are named as Chosen of the Seldarine (from what I've been told) in the novel [I]Evermeet[/I]. The Rotting Man, Talona's Chosen, is given a very basic overview in [I]Unapproachable East[/I], page 118, first paragraph under the "Rawlinswood" entry. I can't find the entry for Jeryth Phaulkon, but she's mentioned in more than one product, and the Emerald Enclave are in [I]The Vilhon Reach[/I]. Avner, Mask's Chosen, can be found on page 68 (IIRC) of [I]Dragon[/I] #245. I'm pretty sure I remember Shar's Chosen being mentioned in [I]Underdark[/I], but I can't find a reference. Slarkrethel is mentioned as Umberlee's Chosen on page 154 of [I]Lords of Darkness[/I] (and page 83 of [I]Cloak & Dagger[/I] as her Seraph). Ubtao's Bara are mentioned in the novel [I]The Ring of Winter[/I]. I may need to update Vartan as no longer being Labelas's Chosen due to the story in [I]Dragon[/I] #247, but I thought I saw something after that that still had him listed as one... Lord Shuruppak is called Gilgeam's Chosen on pages 304-305 of the [I]Epic Level Handbook[/I]. Liriel Baenre is called Lolth's Chosen (for a while) in the novel [I]Windwalker[/I]. Anth-Malar is mentioned as Malar's Chosen on page 41 of [I]Dungeon[/I] #103. And lastly, Pil'it'ith is listed as Merrshaulk/Sseth's former Chosen on page 60 of [I]Serpent Kingdoms[/I]. [/QUOTE]
