Elminster: The Making of a Mage
"In
ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would
give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic... – Priest Havilon Tharnstar, Tales Told to a Blind Wizard It
is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to
barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days,
Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics.
When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is
thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil
sorcerers. With patience and grit, Elminster sets about to change all that. The result of his labors is a world reborn and a mage made.
The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra – and her kisses were wonderful."
