A more compelling history of the City of Song and its downward spiral to destruction you cannot hope to find. Everything from a detailed tale of the events surrounding the the freeing of the dread nycaloths, to the sad fall of the Coronal, to thorough details of the campaigns that laid low the fabled city can be found with this tome.
This book links in well with both the 'Cormanthyr - Empire of Elves' and 'Ruins of Myth Drannor' expansions, filling the gaps in-between. Whilst being invaluable to those running an Arcane Age campaign, the information inside can be used as an inspiration to all Dm's adventuring in the Forgotten Realms.
A fantastic addition to anyone's RPG collection, this is well worth the pounds. Come - immerse yourselves in the wonders of the Arcane Age.

Intriguing idea falls short
30 July 1999
Format:Paperback
It seems that the Fall of Myth Drannor fell further than anticipated. While this product has some fine work, most of the products falls far short of expectations.
Battle maps are detailed, but there isn't enough information on the battles themselves. Adventure hooks are laced throughout, but the hooks don't do Myth Drannor's fall any real justice.
Add to that some poor cover art, the occasional yet horrible typographic mistake, and a slightly confusing layout, and you've got yourself a fairly mediocre product.
The Fall of Myth Drannor does, however, compliment the Cormanthyr: Empire of the Elves product, and if you've already bought the Cormanthyr Arcane Age campaign expansion, you really should spring the money for this product, if only to add more depth to the elven lore in your campaign.

Incredible history
21 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
I don't believe I've ever read a RPG product that read so much like a novel. The descriptions of the events leading to the fall and the battles themselves conveyed a great sense of the setting and the desperate battles that took place. It tells of a truly tragic story, something that is rarely (if ever) found in RPGs.

An Elvish History Book
20 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
The Fall of Myth Drannor tells the story of the destruction of the famous elven city in the ancient days of TSR's Forgotten Realms campaign. Labeled an "adventure," this accessory is more of a campaign resource to be used with Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves, another Arcane Age product for the Realms.
The Fall of Myth Drannor is largely an elvish history. Adventure possibilities for a variety of situations along the timeline given are provided for both Arcane Age campaigns and for time-hopping characters from the modern Realms. The Fall of Myth Drannor contains an overall discussion of the whys and hows of Myth Drannor's end, and a brief description of each campaign and battle of "the Weeping War" and of the battles of the N'Vaelahr secret agents. "Lost" magic items, oddities, and spells of the elves from this time are also detailed. There is also a glossary for unusual elvish terms from this product, and a brief list of heroes and villains and some of their characteristics to help in keeping the numerous creatures and elves sorted out.
