Elminster

I am Elminster of Shadowdale, called by some the Old Sage, and called far worse things by others. I’ve walked these realms for over a thousand years. Yet, I am far from the oldest, wisest, or mightiest being to walk the ground of Faerûn with my well-worn boots—and that is truth. But if ye learn the long history of my deeds, ye’ll know precisely what I stand for and what I am. And that’s a rare and precious thing, knowing yourself. Do ye know exactly what ye stand for? Adventurer, I am Elminster, and I say to ye that these forgotten realms are yours to discover, reforge, and defend, yours to make anew in winning your own crown. Go forth and take up arms against the perils that beset us!
