[QUOTE="Yora, post: 5963653, member: 6670763"] No. Elminster is sitting on his porch keeping his nose out of everyone elses business, like he always did, and Drizzt is in his best years going strong on his 200s. Drizzt is a good entry to the setting, since his stories are quite self-contained and work for people who don't know anything about the setting or D&D, and he's a cool swordsman like they have been popular for the last decades all over the world. At the same time, he isn't really an important personalty in the setting. You can understand all the big dynamics without knowing anything about him. Elminster is a very different case. I think he's "interesting" really only in the context of the greater setting and he's supposed to be one of the really big players in its history. I don't think he really affects interest in the setting. If he has any relevance, than it's to people who are already diehard fans of the setting. [/QUOTE]
