r/Drizzt
What's your favorite quote from the books?
Hi - new here but I've been a fan of Drizzt for a long time. What's your favorite quote from the books? It can be something Drizzt said, another character said, or something in the Drizzt recollections between Chapters which I usually find quite profound.
I've read the Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies for the first time now and I absolutely loved Drizzt UNTIL this thing that happens, please help me get through my disapointment :(
Firstly, please PLEASE avoid spoilers as I really wanna continue reading the series!
So the source of my disappointment is when Drizzt kisses Cattie-Brie while she was unconscious in the plane of Tarterus.
Listen, I am a 30 yo woman and I know that back in the 90s such things was "okay". I get it. It was supposed be the first time we get to see Drizzt's romantic feelings for Cattie-Brie or maybe the first time he himself noticed it about him. But damn was it wrong. He's righteous, he's humble, good hearted, everything I admire in a person...I'm so disappointed because it feels so out of character for Drizzt.
Also, maybe I'll be alone in it here but, isn't it strange that Drizzt, an elf who has lived for so long has fallen for a girl he has met only a few years ago as a child? The reading led me to believe he saw her as a little sister. Wulfgar's and Cattie's romantic feelings for each other, in the other hand, were clearly written all along.
But anyway, putting my nitpicking aside, even if he did start seeing her as a grown woman (which she absolutely is), I don't think he would let himself cross the obvious romantic relationship between her and Wulfgar that has already been established. Okay, so he kissed her on accident, that's true. But until the end of the book he doesn't address what he did, not even to himself, alone. He's always been able to sort his feelings out but he didn't this time, which is weird, almost letting me think he does not care or doesn't think he did anything wrong. He doesn't feel guilty or ashamed. Why? Is it because the author was too "rushed" to finish the book? Does this have any sort of continuation on the next books?
Another point that got me disappointed was that Drizzt and Alustriel from Silverymoon did not romance each other. It was a perfect setting for it to happen. Both had the same honorable sense of justice, good intentions, both were amazing characters and powerful as well. I don't get it. It would have been awesome.
I WANT to continue liking Drizzt and the series. I WANT to be convinced. Maybe I'm being too strict on my own sense of honor and the series is just not for me.
Recently got Drizzt tatted :)

Mortal Shell 2 as our favorite drow
Hi everyone! Obviously, besides reading the books, many of us also enjoy playing video games. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who often finds myself building a character around our beloved drow and trying to recreate that feeling in a game.
I’ve come across quite a few awesome power fantasies over the years where you can get a taste of that experience, but **Mortal Shell 2 with the Dual wield Axetana ( two katanas ) ** is honestly one of the best I’ve experienced in years!
The dark atmosphere, the movement, the combat, the shell everything just fits together perfectly. It really captures that feeling of playing as a deadly drow warrior.highly recommend giving it a try and picking it up if you’re looking for that kind of experience! Im really having funwith this one!
You even can go a bit summoner build too! Not a panther but…
D&D Dark Alliance PS5 game.
Man....I had heard it was rough but I found a cheap copy and thought what the hell. The controls are pretty clunky but I'm gonna stick through and see it through.
The aesthetic choices are what really got me laughing though --
The crystal shard is blue?!?!
The tower it erects is essentially Icecrown from WoW/Sauron's tower from LotR?!?!
Gwen is prismatic/translucent?!?!?!
Wulfgar has the biker viking undercut?!?!?!
Catti-Brie has some kind of weird goggle headband thing?!?!?!
STILL, THOUGH -- it's cool to see some locations in Icewind Dale in video game form. If I can figure out how to make the camera not feel unresponsive and slow I still feel like it will be a decent time!
Edit: Oh yeah! Drizzt's green cloak is also called a piwafwi haha
Who Is Lolth - The Spider Queen Behind the Drow?
Lolth, the Spider Queen, is the dark goddess of the drow and one of the most feared deities in the Underdark.
She rules through chaos, ambition, and betrayal, rewarding strength and punishing weakness without mercy. Her followers believe that only those who rise through conflict deserve power.
Lolth’s influence shapes drow society into a ruthless matriarchy, where priestesses and noble houses constantly scheme for dominance and survival.
In BG3 and D&D lore, her shadow still looms over characters like Minthara, even when they walk a path away from her web.
What do you think is Lolth pure evil, or the force that forged the drow into what they are?

Stoked for my Legend of Drizzt & NFL themed fantasy football team name this year 🤓 IYKYK 🏈 (Gonna post in r/fantasy football too to give our favorite team from Forgotten Realms some love too)
The Spider Queen has arrived.
Somewhere in the Underdark… she is already weaving her web.
And sooner or later
someone will be caught in it.
(Minthara wouldn’t approve.)
Drizzt's offical art armor
We know the quality of the offical art has a track record of being full of mistakes from Drizzt as a ugly old pale man in the original Dark Elf trilogy covers to Artemis Entreri depicted as white still to this day.
But where does Drizzt wearing that specific segmented leather armor with the loin cloth piece come from? It is in multiple official artworks so it's definitely included in some WotC design doc.
But in the books Drizzt is frequently mentioned to wear a mithril chainmail shirt with no other descriptions of body armor.
So why the leather armor instead of chainmail?
A Guide to Noble Drow Houses Where Does Minthara Truly Come From?
Most players only know House Baenre (Minthara’s lineage) or House DeVir from Viconia’s backstory but the drow world is far more complex and full of ancient noble houses, each with its own symbol, power, and history.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the most iconic noble houses, their themes, and why they matter in drow society.

Drizzt and Gwen
Read these books as a kid and wanted to make something that captured the relationship between these two.
Hardcover foil omnibus of 1-3 hit the Edelweiss catalog for Feb 2027 release
When exactly did Kimmuriel join Bregan D'aerthe?
Jarlaxle saved him during the fall of House Oblodra, but was he already with Bregan D'aerthe before that ?
What should I do with this?
I have the book "The silent blade" since one week ago and it has so many printing errors. Two chapters like that. At first I could read it but... well... It seems like I won't know what Artemis Entreri was doing cause literally I can't read half of the page XD

Thank you in advance and sorry if it is the wrong subreddit i didnt find any better
Underestimated Neverwinter Saga
1st 2 books was easily one of the hardest reads but the last 2 easily one of the best reads. Can't believe I skipped right past it for what seems like a decade.
Effron is seriously underrated and Dahlia might have more hate than justified.
Wonder what other books I might've overlooked. I skipped most of the Hunter's Blade Trilogy and Transitions.
(Minor Spoiler)
After the last threshold. I honestly wouldn't mind if the story continued on with the new group. There are just certain things that make it more interesting than the companions of the hall for me.
But I understand the transition back to the companions and it was quite a brilliant move by RA not gonna lie.
Companions series is hard to top.
