Elminster: The Making of a Mage

By Ed Greenwood

Alternate Title: The Making of a Stu
SPORKER: MasterGhandalf

SUMMARY

In a fantastical world, a young boy’s life is changed forever when his family is murdered by the agents of a tyrannical regime. Swearing revenge, he must embark on a journey in which he will discover his true heritage, learn to master his magical gifts, fulfil his destiny and ultimately overthrow the bad guys and bring freedom to his people. No, no, this isn’t Star Wars (or one of several dozen other things…), it’s the backstory of the Forgotten Realms’ most iconic wizard, which is totally different, I swear. Well, at least in terms of how obviously the main character is a vehicle for the author’s fantasies – both magical and sexual – it is, anyway. Not that we should expect anything less from Ed Greenwood. It’s just how he rolls.

Note: as this is a prequel, it shouldn’t require knowledge of my Shandril’s Saga sporkings in order to follow the plot.
