@NShannacappo @mikemearlsWhen do we get an adventure where we get to kill Elminster for good? As in kill him truly dead and make it canon? Elminster as canon fodder again? ;} One less low-hanging fruit to splatter? We couldn't do THAT. (Or could we?)

I’m sure Elminster’s death will coincide with Ed’s own, as a fitting tribute to a great man. It will be glorious, as it should be. And, as El has no doubt learned about all actions, it will have unintended consequences for good and/or ill. And it will be the saddest day in the Realms; because regardless of our feelings about Elminster the character, we will all know what it really means.
In the meantime, everyone who has ever been touched by the Realms and its magic will continue to enjoy its long and complicated history. We’ll continue to enjoy every new and wondrous detail that Ed chooses to impart. And we’ll continue to bicker about it on the internet, because that’s what we do.
So saith not-Ed.
