Nov 26, 2006 12:26:54 I've been trying to nail down all references to Ye'Cind I could find. This is what I have for a chronological bibliography:

Dungeon Master's Guide (1979)
"Spells Between The Covers," Dragon Magazine 82 (Feb84)
Book of Artifacts (1993)
Greyhawk Player's Guide (Jun98)
Warriors of Heaven (1999)
"All Oerth's Artifacts," Dragon Magazine 299 (Sep02)
Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000)
"The Gods of Oerth," Living Greyhawk Journal 3 (Feb01)

The magority of the info on Ye'Cind is in LGG, with info on his Recorder coming from BoA. The other sources just add minor facts (WoH) or repeat information that these two have.

Can anyone think of a reference I have missed?

- Ye'Cind is named after Cindy Gygax. So is the county of Sunndi. There's no real reason to make a connection, but you certainly could. Perhaps the "small kingdom" whose king's murder Ye'Cind witnessed according to the Book of Artifacts was actually Sunndi.

- Melira Taralen is an elven goddess (described in Dragon #155 and #236) with a portfolio almost identical to Ye'Cind's. Perhaps they're the same deity, in which case you could borrow some of the info on Melira to flesh out Ye'Cind. For example, maybe Ye'Cind is the child of Hanali Celanil.

- Warriors of Heaven says that Ye'Cind dwells in the realm of Brightwater. Brightwater is further detailed in Planes of Chaos and the Player's Guide to Faerun. Warriors of Heaven also says that Rudd dwells in Brightwater, which implies a connection between Rudd and Ye'Cind.

434 CY — Elf bard Ye’cind disappears same night King of Nyrond is murdered.

454 CY — Ye’cind returns to Nyrond, brother of former King found guilty of murder.
