From Quiz The Temptation of Elminster

Answer: Azuth

Azuth explained that although Mystra wanted to, she could not be in such close contact with her favorite Chosen. As such, Elminster would have to act on his own, without hearing from her for some time.

From Quiz Elminster In Myth Drannor

Answer: Alastrarra

Elminster met Iymbryl Alastrarra in the woods surrounding the elven capital, while the elf was fighting ruukha (hobgoblins).

From Quiz Elminster In Hell

Answer: Asmodeus

It would make sense for her to seek a bargain with Asmodeus. Asmodeus is the Lord of Avernus, and as such, he was very likely to know where Elminster was, as well as who had him.

From Quiz Elminster's Daughter

Answer: Caladnei

Vangerdahast had retired by the time of the events in this book, and had named Caladnei as the Mage Royal (or Royal Magician). It is almost a wonder why he didn't choose Laspeera as his successor.

From Quiz Elminster In Hell

Answer: silver fire

Nergal was looking for a way to ascend higher in the hierarchy of Avernus. Nergal decided that Elminster, being a Chosen of Mystra, would have the power to allow him to do so. As such, Nergal went through Elminster's mind, trying to find instances when Elminster used his magic and the silver fire.

According to the memories seen, the two had met at times after the fall of Myth Drannor as well.

20. What name does Elminster adopt to to stay "off the radar" during his year without using magic?

From Quiz The Temptation of Elminster

Answer: Wanlorn

Wanlorn was a pretty common name for people who didn't want to be identified, and at the time period in this book, Elminster is not quite so well known as to be identified by sight. However, he didn't want to be followed around by anyone who knew him, or others who might hold a grudge later, so he certainly didn't want to be known by his real name if it could at all be helped.

21. Who did Elminster meet in the Vault of Ages for the first time?

From Quiz Elminster In Myth Drannor

Symrustar was very manipulative. She believed that Elminster's spells would be very interesting.

27. What did Mystra do to Elminster after his encounter with her in her temple in Hastarl?

From Quiz Elminster: The Making of the Mage

Answer: turned him into a woman

The reason for turning Elminster into a woman was two-fold. For one, it would keep him off the radar of the magelords, since they would be looking for a man, rather than a woman. Secondly, being a woman would allow Elminster, during this time referred to as Elmara, to "feel" magic much more than if he had remained a man.

28. Who does Qilue replace to infiltrate the drow hiding in Scornubel?

From Quiz Silverfall

Answer: Namra Dunseltree

It had been decided that Qilue should have had an easier time infiltrating the drow community in the town, as any magic to dispel a shape change spell would still leave Qilue as a dark elf, which hopefully would have given her a chance to talk her way out of it. Unfortunately, when her cover as Namra was compromised, she was recognized and tossed into a river, with heavy blocks to drown her.

29. What was the name of the noble in Marsember who gathered information about many things?

From Quiz Elminster's Daughter

Answer: Joysil Ambrur

The Harpers have been keeping an eye on her, trying to understand her background, the suggestion being that she is not what she seems.

30. What is not mentioned as being found in Avernus during this book?

There is no point in the book at all where a dragon is seen or heard of.
