The Elminster Series is a series of novels by Ed Greenwood, set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms setting. The series explains Elminster's life before he was well-known across Faerûn and some periods of time where either no-one or only the powerful mages knew where he was.

Elminster is one of the most powerful mages in Faerun. He was and is a Chosen of Mystra and was actually the first Lady of Magic's favorite. Being a Chosen of Mystra, Elminster can live forever and has many powers unknown or unusable by the average mage. He lives in Shadowdale and helped create the Harpers, an organization devoted to maintaining the balance.

Elminster is often seen around the world helping people for the good of the world.
