Hall of Heroes is a 2nd-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons accessory for the Forgotten Realms.

The FORGOTTEN REALMS fantasy world has been the site of many great adventures and home to countless valiant heroes and infamous villians. Many a talk of derring-do has been recounted in novels like the Moonshae trilogy by Douglas Niles, The Crystal Shard by R.A. Salvatore, Azure Bonds by Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb, and Spellfire by Ed Greenwood (creator of the FORGOTTEN REALMS fantasy world).

Until now, the characters from these FORGOTTEN REALMS novels have been unavailable to AD&D game players. But no longer.

Hall of Heroes provides complete histories and AD&D game statistics for such beloved characters as Elminster, the greatest sage and magic user of the Realms, Tristan Kendrick and Robyn of the Moonshae isles, Wulfgar the Barbarian, Drizzt the dark elf, and Bruenor the dwarf, all from the northern reaches, plus Alias and Dragonbait, Shandril and Narm Tamaraith and many more.

But the Hall of Heroes is more than a listing of game statistics: It's also a sourcebook describing (among other things) artificial and magical lifeforms of the Realms, as well as the lives of the world's elves, dwarves, lizardmen, and exotic creatures

Whatever your interest in the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting, you'll find much to entertain and intrigue you in this volume.[2]

Description[]

Hall of Heroes details numerous characters seen in the Realms and is the 7th book in the FR series. It offers game statistics for key characters from various Forgotten Realms adventure scenarios, novels, and comic books, accompanied by a comprehensive history and illustration for each character.

Hall of Heroes begins with a one-page introduction by Jim Lowder and is organized into three distinct sections. The first section is dedicated to the primary heroes of the Forgotten Realms novels. It provides detailed game statistics, thorough personal histories, and background information on each character, along with role-playing guidance. Every character in this section is given at least a page of description and is accompanied by an illustration.

The second section highlights 48 secondary characters, who had not yet played a central role in the narratives at the time of the book's publication. This part includes game statistics for each character, concise histories, and role-playing advice.

In the third section, the book delves into two adventuring groups integral to the setting: the Knights of Myth Drannor and the Company of Eight. It offers comprehensive game statistics and information on each member of these brotherhoods.
