    The Hearts Blood trilogy.

    And if I'm not mistaken, Eragon is not a trilogy.

    The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. Yeah, I know it doesn’t fit the specifications in your original post. Read it anyway; it kicks ass.

    Did you read The Symphony of Ages books by Elizabeth Haydon yet? If not do so now, you'll love it.

    Yeah, Forgotten Realms should have what you're looking for. May I suggest the Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore?

    If you want something really epic you should try the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

    Seconded.

    The Wheel of Time series is good too, but it can be a bit tedious to read at times.

    Its called the Inheritance trilogy. I use Eragon because people will recognize it more easily

    You could...read the whole like 10 page storyline for World of Warcraft...

    It won't take very long but if you are desperate...:magus:

    If you can find them, I highly suggest The Time Master Trilogy by Louise Cooper. It consists of The Initiate, The Outcast, and The Master. I say if you can find them because.. well, it took me forever to find all three for a reasonable price. They are books from the early-to-mid 80s and are out of print as far as I know. You could probably pick them up at a good used book store though.

    In a nutshell, it is about the battle between good and evil. It is so much more than that.. but saying anything other than that would be to ruin the entire first book.

    I've only talked to two other people that have heard of them. My brother, who I introduced the series to, and my mother's ex-boyfriend, who introduced the series to me.

    Look for it.

    -Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind if you like great characters

    -The Eye if the World if you like myriad plotlines (it's part of the Wheel of Time series - this early in the series it's fairly linear, but by book 4 the plotlines branch out in all directions)

    -And I third the suggestion of the Shannara series.

    Hmmm.... looks like I have enough here to last me a while...

    I'll definatley get around to reading Wheel of Time at some point in my life as it has been recommended to me countless times.

    If I see any of the Forgotten Realms books around I'll probarbly buy one, but I might have to wait until I move back to Wellington next year.

    And World of Warcraft is probarbly the reason why I don't read enough... so I'll probarbly read that summary then.

    Out of the three suggestions I gave you I recommend Wizard's First Rule as the best of the three. And from what I've read of your posts, Mitch (aka Supergyration) I think it would suit your personality the best.

    Symphony of ages, definately. And maybe The Krondor books by Raymond Feist.

    If you want some light hearted fantasy, go with Dragons Pawn by Carol Dennis. The book is funny and has the whole fantasy feeling to it. Magic and dragons and evil guys. Everything a mortal could need.

    The Death Gate Cycle by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. It's a bout a war between two races of demigods, the Sartan and the Patryn, that ends with one race being imprisoned (The Patryn) in a world called the Labyrinth and the original world is sundered into four different worlds based on the classic four elements. The Sartan mysteriously disappear shortly after and as time passes, the Patryn begin to escape the Labyrinth. The seven books revolve around the Patryn Haplo's journey through the four worlds. It's a lengthy series but one of the few that actually kept my interest.

    I usually hate reading fiction, especially fantasy and sci-fi works but this one actually came off well written and was one of the few fantasy stories that didn't reek of a Tolkein or D&D influence. It still has elves, dwarves, humans, and dragons but they come off a little more original to some extent.
