Time of troubles forgotten realms novels. Forgotten realms best novels.  \nThe Avatar Series is a collection of fantasy novels set within the Forgotten Realms universe, focusing on events during the Time of Troubles. It comprises five books: Shadowdale, Tantras, Waterdeep, Prince of Lies, and Crucible, written by various authors including Scott Ciencin, Troy Denning, James Lowder, and Richard Awlinson (a pen-name used by several writers) . The first three novels revolve around the \"Company of the Lynx,\" a group consisting of Kelemvor Lyonsbane, Adon of Sune, Midnight, and Cyric as they search for the Tablets of Fate. These divine tablets held listings of gods and their roles in maintaining balance between Law and Chaos. Their theft was actually the cause of the Time of Troubles, with all but Helm being cast to Toril. This led to a time when faiths and magic ran wild. The last two books, Prince of Lies and Crucible, follow events after the Tablets were returned to Ao, including the ascension of several Company members to godhood. Midnight became Mystra, Kelemvor became the god of the dead, and Cyric took over several vile deities' portfolios before descending into madness. The series has counterparts in AD&D adventure modules written by Ed Greenwood, who created the Forgotten Realms line. These were: Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, aiming to transition players through a storyline rather than being a direct adaptation of the novels. The Avatar Series, a five-novel saga set in the Forgotten Realms universe, was originally written as a trilogy under the pseudonym Richard Awlinson. The novels follow the Time of Troubles in 1358 DR and explore the cosmological changes over the next decade. The series key plot revolves around the gods being cast down to Faerun as mortals by Lord Ao during the Time of Troubles. This narrative serves as a transition from the first to the second edition AD&D rules, paralleling the Fate of Istus adventure in the Greyhawk campaign setting. The Avatar Series includes \"Shadowdale,\" \"Tantras,\" and \"Waterdeep\" by Scott Ciencin (1989), and concludes with \"Prince of Lies\" and \"Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad\" by James Lowder and Troy Denning (1993, 1998) respectively. Reviewing the series, the author found it enjoyable despite its cheesy moments, with each book improving significantly over the last one. The Art's magic fails, and Bane, god of hate, lands in Zhentil Keep to reclaim the Tablets of Fate. The mage Midnight awakens in Arabel to find things changed, with an amulet around her neck. She teams up with three other heroes: Kelemvor, a noble warrior; Cyric, a thief turned mercenary; and Adon, a Cleric of Sune Firehair. They become entangled in the deities' power struggle and Bane's malevolent plan. In Arabel, they encounter a starving waif who hints at a quest for Kelemvor. Cyric was born in Zhentil Keep but adopted by wealthy Sembians, while Adon is familiar with both Cyric and Kelemvor from previous encounters. As they journey to Shadowdale, the group faces challenges, including the dangers of divine magic and inconsistent arcane power. The story includes romantic elements and a cliffhanger ending. This book picks up where the first one left off, as Bane's plan unfolds in Tantras, the city that has become Torm's holy seat. The book features an engaging female character and intense action scenes, including a dramatic confrontation between two powerful beings and a trial for people wrongly accused of murder. Some readers enjoy this aspect, while others do not. The author's writing is effective in conveying the excitement of these events. This installment takes place after a significant explosion in Waterdeep, which was concluded at the end of the previous book. It follows our heroes from the Heartlands to the Sword Coast and eventually to the City of Splendors, known as Waterdeep.
