After doing a lot of research, my char. found the location of the Neather Scrolls. After learning about their powers he wants to go and study them. Apparently their reside in the Windsong Tower i Myth-Drannor, and finding that elusive floor is suposed to be most dificult.
Now to my question, Have any successfully brought them in play in your campagn?
Also... Any knowledge about the scrolls would be nice.

| there are a couple other threads relating to the scrolls and in particular using them in a campaign try searching for those. |

Indeed, my players managed to find two of them in a Sarrukh tomb (that was unknowingly adjacent to a dwarven tomb that the party was interested in.) and besides putting them to good use (the entire party picking up the basics of arcana), one was subsequently risked as a wager to provoke the head of the Hillsfar Red Wizard enclave into a mageduel, resulting in the party getting one of their staves recharged, a new staff of evocation, and ten of the enclave's choicest slaves* as the prize for winning the duel. The scrolls themselves were later donated to the House of Mystra in Harrowdale, earning the party very favored status with the Church.
*The PCs took some of the most educated and useful slaves of the enclave, including their scribe and their animal groom. After some negotiations, the PC's hired them and went together to form an adventuring company. |

| Oh, and Nicolai? For the 3.0/3.5 incarnations of the Nether Scrolls, check Lost Empires of Faerūn, and the 3.5 Anauroch adventure. |

There's also Lynn Abbey's novel The Nether Scroll to be taken into consideration.

| Once you find them, see if you can find some way to resurrect Karsus in this new realm of Netheril...then he can steal Shar's Divinity and become supreme ruler. |

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Correct. The scrolls are easier for elves to decipher when in that form. It can be converted back to the traditional "paper with writing that you can read", but its not as simple as chopping the tree and making paper out of it in hopes that the writing will appear  |

So all one needs to do is a bit shapechanging ;)
Better yet, as a anarchomancer (1 level, have to be a bit of an illusionist) & expend 1000gp+1000xp, and voila.. you can become something else entirely.
Such as a human illusionist 15/anarchomancer 1 -> Elven wizard 16
All new feats and skills. You can even completely remodel your abilityscores.. |
