[QUOTE="ChaosShard, post: 3744397, member: 55074"] Actually, we don't know where Drizzt has traveled in the time between the end of [I]The Orc King[/I] and the Epilogue. ***Spoilers for [I]Unclean[/I] by Richard Byers also contained here, starting in the second block of text.*** [COLOR=BLACK]He may not have strayed too far east or south of the Silver Marches, especially if Netheril returned (let's assume that Netheril is somewhat hostile and has outriders patrolling a wide area outside their recognized borders, that may have kept him away from the Cormyr/Sembia/Dalelands region). Or, more simply, Salvatore didn't mention them because he was told not to/wasn't given any idea what condition they were in. Thay is in play here also, since by the end of [I]Unclean[/I], Szass Tam has plunged the nation into a full-blown civil war, with him and several tharchions on one side and the other zulkirs and two tharchions opposing him. If he loses and survives (it's book 1 of 3, book 2 comes out in spring and book 3 in '09), Szass may re-found/restore/ally with the newly risen Netheril, if for no other reason than to survive the wrath of his former compatriots. With the ending of the book, however, Szass seems to have the upper hand, if only marginally. But, let's do a little speculating on the Dales, while we're here... Myth Drannor is restored, two Chosen live there (but only Old El' is safe from the chopping block). The Elves may or may not protect/ally with them, depending on relations and/or what they have going on in Cormanthor. My completely uninformed guess is that the Dales survive, but are more harried than before. Based on that assumption the Dales/Moonsea area might be the default "Points of Light" area for PCs to start in, perhaps with other themes in the different regions. Just a guess, but hey, we'll find it all out in a year... [/COLOR] Any thoughts? Am I completely mad? :p [SIZE=1]Edited 1st line to add "Actually" because it reads better[/SIZE] :P [/QUOTE]
