History Literature / TheLegendOfDrizzt

* [New trilogy started in 2018]

** [Unspecified] (*unspecified release date)

* PurpleEyes: Drizzt's lavender eyes are remarked upon by anyone who sees it and are a pretty unique identifier as most drow have red eyes. They symbolically represent his more gentle and heroic nature compared to the rest of his brethren.

* MoreThanMindControl: Regis' magic ruby allows its bearer to make the ''Suggestion'' spell an unlimited number of times, which more or less makes anything the bearer says sound like a ''really good idea'' but it needs to have some basis in reality.

* NayTheist: Artemis lives in a world where gods routinely walk the Earth but adamantly refuses to believe in them. We later discover this is because of his Freudian excuse.

** Gruumsh apparently later changes his mind about the merits of Obould's vision, since the dissenting orc general Hartusk to overthrow Obould's lineage and bring the orcs right back to their old ways of killing and looting. Hartusk even calls himself Warlord rather than King, in keeping with the orcs returning to their original heritage. In the end, Obould Many-Arrows' dream proves to be just that-an ultimately futile dream.

* RealityEnsues: The Kingdom of Many Arrows, once established is powerful enough the Northern Nations have to bring it to the negotiating table despite being a kingdom of AlwaysChaoticEvil orcs.

* ReligionOfEvil: Lolth worship is, appropriately enough, treated like this.

* StrawFeminist: Averted with the Drow as they do not seek to promote women in any way but naturally assume their superior (or enforce it with violence). They are also racist to any non-Drow as to consider females of other species equally inferior to their men.

This story helped build up much of the TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms world and caused many to follow in its footsteps.

** Most of the [[spoiler: Companions of the Hall]] die before or during the hundred-year-time-skip.

* TheLoad: Regis, both in-universe and out. He's a fairly medium-skilled rogue in a party of awesome.

A massively huge epic by R.A. Salvatore with a main character you may have heard of if you have ever played a tabletop RPG.

* GenreSavvy: Jarlaxle avoids the fate of most villains in the series by recognizing Drizzt is a one-man wrecking crew.

* CoolSword: Twinkle and Icingdeath are Drizzt's scimitars, although they are not a matched set of identical weapons, as is often depicted. He found Icingdeath in a frost dragon's hoard, and Twinkle was gifted to him by the wizard [=DelRoy=] Harpell.

* CoolSword: Twinkle and Icingdeath are Drizzt's twin scimitars.

* {{Badass}}: Drizzt is one of the biggest examples in D&D fiction.

* ''Homecoming''

The 1st trilogy of the series, ''Literature/TheDarkElfTrilogy'', revolves around Drizzt's upbringing and his escape from the Underdark; it is a {{prequel}}, written after Salvatore wrote ''Literature/TheIcewindDaleTrilogy'' which took place afterwards. The Icewind Dale trilogy revolves around Drizzt's adventures with the Companions of the Hall and conquering of Mithral Hall. It is followed by the four-book ''Literature/LegacyOfTheDrowSeries''. The series after that are the adventures they have afterwards.

** ''Hero'' (TBA)

* ''Literature/TheCompanionsCodex''
** ''The Companions'' (2013) [[note]]wich technically belongs to a different Forgotten Realms series called ''The Sundering'', but it concerns the Companions of the Hall, directly ties in to ''The Companions Codex'' and is written by Salvatore himself.[[/note]]
