I picked up Elminster Must Die recently but I haven't read it yet. I was wondering what should I be sure to read before I read this one? I have so far read Elminster:Making of a Mage, Elminster in Myth Drannor, and I'm almost through The Temptation of Elminster. I will have to pick up Elminster's Daughter and Elminster in Hell though I am wondering if I should try to get them and read them first. I have read the Knights of Myth Drannor Trilogy if those books have any bearing and I have Shandril's Saga but I haven't read it yet (and I'm wondering if they have any impact on Elminster Must Die). I also have (but haven't yet read) Cormyr: A Novel. Based on what I have read about the book here I assume at least some of those books are related and there are probably others I don't have or haven't listed that are also related. So, what should I try to get ahold of and read and what should I read of what I have before I read Elminster Must Die? Also, in what order should they be read? Any help would be appreciated.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

If you can get ahold of El in Hell and Elminsters daughter.....that would be enough for you to read and get the most out of El must die!

Thanks for the insight. I will pick them up shortly.
