    Elminster Aumar
    Jul 14 2025
    In this episode of Roll for Lore, we journey through myth and manuscript to meet Elminster Aumar, the most famous wizard in the Forgotten Realms—and the one closest to its creator’s heart. We explore Ed Greenwood, the real-world librarian and storyteller who dreamed up the Forgotten Realms and first gave life to Elminster as a voice in his articles and novels. Then we dive into Elminster’s in-world backstory: from a prince-turned-mage, to chosen of Mystra, to wise (and often infuriating) mentor to heroes and rulers alike. With thousands of years of meddling, mischief, and magical mastery behind him, Elminster is more than a powerful NPC—he's the beating heart of Faerûn’s lore.

Whether you're running a noir-style mystery, a political thriller, or a high-fantasy heist, Sharn is the ultimate urban sandbox. This episode is your guide to one of the most dynamic and iconic cities in all of D&D.
