A Cameo That Isn’t Drizzt Do’Urden

We’ve heard that Wizards of the Coast wants Drizzt Do’Urden, noble Drow ranger and easily D&D’s most popular character, as the focus of the long-in-development D&D TV series. That’s all well and good, but the Forgotten Realms is about much more than just Drizzt, so hopefully a sequel would bring in someone less ubiquitous. There’s Elminster, D&D’s equivalent of Gandalf; Alustriel Silverhand, ruler of Silverymoon; Midnight, the avatar of the goddess of magic; Cyric, the self-hating assassin; and probably some character from the popular Baldur’s Gate videogames. And while I might be the only person in the entire world who would 1) know who she is and 2) be excited by her appearance, if Alias from the old Finder’s Stone novels showed up I would freak out.
