Dandello, is Elminster an elf or an Irishman? Is there a significant difference?
Let's see - Elminster is the extremely old Mage of Shadowdale - which is a location in the Forgotten Realms - a D&D world.
So Lois & Clark in a fantasy domain with magic. Clark is no doubt a paladin; Superman is a demigod and Lois as a bard?
Like I said, bad muse...
