"'You don't know my history,' he said dryly." --Drizzt Do'Urden (The Pirate King, Part 1: Chapter 2)
This is a list of all of R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels, novellas, short stories, and gaming materials in chronological order, with independently calculated fictional timeline dates based on the time clues within the works themselves, rather than the publisher's' official information.
COLOR KEY:
SPOILER NOTICE:
If readers wish to use The Legend of Drizzt Anthology: The Collected Stories as their source for the short stories, they should be advised that the author's prefaces to the stories sometimes contain spoilers about later stories in the saga. If using this particular anthology, readers might wish to skip the prefaces on the first reading, and only read the stories themselves, to avoid such spoilers. After a thorough read-through of the entire saga, the prefaces could then be read to provide some eye-opening insights into the mind of R.A. Salvatore.
