![]() ![]() By the end of the book, you will have a good feel for what the drow are all about, and likely be hungry for more of their plots and intrigue. Salvatore assumes that the reader is unfamiliar with his setting, and he exposes the reader to the atrocities committed in the name of drow culture through the eyes of the naive and innocent Drizzt. If you've never read a book about the drow, you'll quickly find that there's a lot to learn here. ![]() Homeland describes the City of Menzoberranzan, home of the drow, and the struggles for power that take place there. While it's not the first appearance of Drizzt, it's the place for new readers to start, because here you'll learn of both his origins and his background. Homeland is the first book of the Dark Elf Trilogy and the (truly massive) Legend of Drizzt Saga. Players will name their characters in an homage to Drizzt, just as they might with Legolas or Gandalf. He's so popular that within the circles of roleplaying gamers, both tabletop and computer, it's a common joke that every drow is a two-sword wielding goodie goodie, despite their race's fierce reputation. Drizzt is, by far, the most iconic drow character in fantasy literature. ![]()
