Story

Well... The first part of the Dark Elf Trilogy was that Drizzt Had indeed forsaken his homeland, and ran into the underdark.. he lived there for a few years and battled only when he had to or was forced into it like when his brother and sister had shown up to take him home... how ever Briza had made one extremely crutial mistake... offering him the job of the weapons master of the house Do'Urden... when that position belonged to his father he almost broke his Vow to never kill another drow if it was not for Guenhwyvar he would'ove.. in short... he made Briza remember one simple thing... His home is in the wild underdark and that no drow would ever be welcomed there if they passionless killers like the normal drow secioty...

so he fled deeper into the underdark was captured by Illithiads..(Mind-Flayers) held prisoner then when he escaped thanks to Guenhwyvar.. he said good bye to his traveling friend Belloware.. after he fought his fathers animated corpse or knows as Zin-Carla.. A Spirit Wraith that inhabits the body of a once living creature or being to carry out a specific task... the body that was used was Zaknafien Drizzt's father who had been sacrificed to Loth to get forgiveness for what Drizzt had done on a surface raid....

Dystopian literature

Someone's placed these books into the Dystopian literature category. I can see the Drow and/or Menzoberranzan culture as being debased, machiavellian and plain evil, but dystopian? I suppose at a stretch...but it doesn't sound right. Peter1968 10:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legend of Drizzt?

I hope this hasn't come up before, but I have copies of Exile and Sojourn that are labeled "The Legend of Drizzt", not "The Dark Elf Trilogy". Is that an alternate title for the trilogy? Applejuicefool (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just Googled that for you, and found the answer here: http://www.o-love.net/realms/head_dri.html Apparently they combined an awful lot of books together, everyone which featured the popular character in them it would appear. Dream Focus (talk) 19:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only books not in "The Legend of Drizzt" are "The Hunters Blade Trilogy" and "Transitions". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.155.160.160 (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Drizzt is the redo of the entire Drizzt saga before Hunter's Blades. Originally it was the Dark Elf Trilogy, the Icewind Dale Trilogy, Legacy of the Drow, and Paths of Darkness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiritclaws (talk • contribs) 02:01, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Continuity problem

In Sojourn Drizzt claims that he's been out of the Underdark for seven years when he tries to settle in the Icewind Dale:

"How long have you lived on the surface?" Cassius asked, sincerely interested.
Drizzt considered the question for a moment, wondering what point the spokesman meant to make. "Seven years," he replied.

However, in "Crystal Shard", set some time after "Sojourn", Salvatore writes:

Two hundred years of living many miles below ground had not been erased by five years on the sunlit surface. To this day, sunlight drained and dizzied him.

This difference should be mentioned either in this article, in Icewind Dale Trilogy article or in Drizzt's personal article (that would be the place for his biography). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.200.2.147 (talk) 20:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good eye to spot that, but I don't think that it can really go in any article. It's a minor detail, really... there are inconsistencies in all books. If this specific continuity error has been covered by a reliable source it can certainly be added, but otherwise I think it is too minor for inclusion. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 23:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
