A very interesting, engrossing book
31 Aug 2000
A good product about the elves of the Forgotten Realms. However, if you want information about the elves, get Complete Book of Elves first, as that is the BEST regarding their information! This is THE book to get for information about the elves on the Forgotten Realms. The reason this source book did not get a five star is that they kind of cheated within the source itself. For a lot of the information, they said that we could look up the information in other products (this especially the case for kits!) They give a one paragraph description, and we learn that the rest of the information can be obtained from another source. They also did this with some creatures (like Baelnorns, which are originally found in Ruins of Myth Drannor).
However, that does not mean that this product is not good on its own. Being the second of my Forgotten Realms products, I got along just fine without some of the information. It does well in describing Evermeet, the lifestyle, the major differences between the various subraces of elves (except for the drow!) They introduced new creatures, two of them (for me at least) being VERY intersting (including the lythari - the lycanthrope elves; and the elves that come back from Avador to help the "mortal" elves!). Don't expect any adventures from this product.
If you're interested in elves, and the Forgotten Realms setting, then I recommend this source book. But if you don't like those source books that mention that most of the information can be found in other source books (especially Player Supplements), then this is a warning, that this source book has that!!

Wonderful glimpse of a land beyond time
14 Jun 2000
In a respective nod to Tolkien, the elves of the Forgotten Realms, when too many centuries of pain and desire have passed, journey into the farthest west, to a misty isle where elven lords and ladies rule in a majestic, eternal realm of Faerie. But wouldn't you love to explore such a place? Now you can! This spectacular book makes Evermeet a living, breathing world - details are given on the land, the cultures (strongly influenced by Celtic mythology), the wondrous spells and magic items unique to the isle, the great heroes, possibilities for grandiose adventures (dragons abound!), and even, far below, the sinister machinations of the Drow. If you love elves and high fantasy, you owe it to yourself to read this book!

The secrets of Evermeet revealed.
19 Jun 1998
The reason I gave this book such a low score is this. You really don't need it to run a AD&D campaign. It is really interesting, especally to elf nuts like me, but really it is completely unneeded for any AD&D campaign. This is manily because it is rare for any race besides elves to go to Evermeet, and if elves go there they normally don't leave.
