[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 8431710, member: 6871736"] This is a very cool idea! But your question isn't the easiest to answer, unfortunately. This is largely because Wizards of the Coast has not established the fates of many FR NPCs from the 1e–3.5e era. Certain NPCs have been established in the 4e and 5e lore as having survived—Mirt, Elminster, and Artus Cimber, to name just three—but the fate of many, many others has been an open question for the past thirteen years of real-world time. The Spellplague in 1385 DR and the time skip to 1479 DR for the start of the 4e Realms means that many NPCs detailed in the earlier novels and sourcebooks set in the 1350s, '60s, and '70s can be assumed to have died in the interim if they haven't been mentioned since—or you as DM are free to decide that they survived via one means or another. (There are, of course, also NPCs whose fates are not uncertain, including for example those who died prior to the end of 3.5e.) If one of your goals is to use NPCs that FR fans would recognize, I'd suggest perhaps starting out by grabbing the late-2e sourcebook Heroes' Lorebook, and then looking up on the FR wiki any characters described therein that tickle your fancy. Here are some NPCs (and groups of NPCs) you might look into (some described in Heroes' Lorebook, some not): the Knights of Myth Drannor, the Company of Crazed Venturers, Akabar Bel Akash, Fyodor, Ruha, Danilo Thann, Piergeiron the Paladinson, Tristan and Alicia Kendrick, Adon, Priam Agrivar, Timoth Eyesbright, Vajra Valmeyjar, Janol, Myrmeen Lhal, Ishi Barasume, the list is nearly endless...
