 The Moonshae Trilogy
comment
The Moonshae Trilogy is a series of novels by Douglas Niles, set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Darkwalker on Moonshae, the first novel in the series, was the very first Forgotten Realms novel ever published as part of the Dungeons & Dragons Expanded Universe.A cursed denizen of an ancient era again walks the islands of the Moonshaes, and the sacred realm of the Goddess Earthmother shudders under its vile onslaught. A bold but reckless prince, a beautiful young druidess, and their companions both magical and mortal do their best to protect their cherished homeland. If only their best was good enough.The books were notable for the fact that they weren't originally intended for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting as detailed by Ed Greenwood but were a self-contained fantasy setting in their own right that was put in the Realms as a way to advertise the soon-to-be-released setting with some details changed. Darkwalker on Moonshae Black Wizards DarkwellIt is followed immediately by The Druidhome Trilogy.

Even Evil Has Standards: Grunnarch, the red king of the viking-esque northmen is quick to get the chance of conquering the Moonshaes and subjugate the Ffolk. He is also genuinely horrified by Kazgaroth's Blood Riders and the carnage and destruction they cause.

The Dragon: Bhaal has a number of these, being a god. Kazgaroth handles a lot of the murder and mayhem he spread throughout the Moonshaes, including starting a totally unnecessary war. He ends up slain by Tristan but his heart is harvested and given to Hobarth (see below). Co-Dragons: Hobarth is a high priest of Bhaal who helps lay the groundwork for his deity's arrival on the physical plane. He is allied with Cyndre, who provides the arcane muscle to do what Bhaal needs. Eventually, Cyndre is defeated and Hobarth becomes Bhaal's sole dragon.
