The Legacy The Legacy is the first book in the Legacy of the Drow series by R . A . Salvatore . It was later reissued as book seven of the Legend of Drizzt series . Summary . In the first part of the book , the companions Drizzt Do ' Urden , Bruenor Battlehammer , Wulfgar , Catti - brie and Regis meet in Mithral Hall for the upcoming wedding of the barbarian and the girl . Wulfgar seems to be back to some of his youth behaviors though , and his possessiveness toward Catti - brie almost disrespects her and makes him act violently with Drizzt . Regis seems to have his own secrets too , obviously hiding from something . The thrill of adventure comes to the companions in the shape of a tribe of goblin found in a new opened area in the depths of Mithral Hall , and the heroes eagerly answer . Despite a weak attempt to parley , battle ensues , and the dwarves of Clan Battlehammer and their allies wipe out the goblins with minimal losses . What the dwarves and the companions didn ' t know is that the goblins were only the first part of a plan conceived by the drow to test their might . Vierna Do ' Urden , sister of Drizzt , is obsessed with her brother and wants him sacrificed to the Spider Queen . By her side she has the mercenary company called Bregan D ' aerthe led by Jarlaxle Baenre and apparently the favor of Lolth herself . In the second part of the book , Drizzt and Regis go back to the new areas of Mithral Hall to investigate on the disappearance of some dwarves . There they are ambushed by the drow , and after escaping the attack , something happens that explains several mysteries : Regis reveals himself to be no one else but Artemis Entreri magically transformed in the shapes of the halfling . This explains some of " Regis " strange attitudes , as well as Wulfgar ' s and Bruenor ' s , who have been under the spell of Regis ' magical ruby . Entreri is also in league with the drow : he informed them about the whereabouts of Drizzt . The assassin and Drizzt cross blades , and the drow hunters hit them both with narcotic darts . In the meanwhile , Bruenor , Wulfgar and Catti - brie realize the tricks of the fake Regis and run to Drizzt ' s help , followed by the dwarves Cobble and Thibbledorf Pwent . In the third part of the book , Drizzt is prisoner of his sister Vierna , who fills him with memories from his youth . Entreri has a deal with the drow : he would duel Drizzt one last time before going on his own way . The fight is set up , but Drizzt doesn ' t give the assassin the satisfaction of a serious duel , knowing that his opponent wouldn ' t kill him without one ( and Vierna wouldn ' t allow that anyway ) . Taunting each other , the duelists realized that the drow wouldn ' t let their play go on for long and that the only way to escape is cooperating . In that moment Drizzt ' s companions arrive and battle ensued . Drizzt and Entreri cooperate and call Guenhwyvar from the Astral Plane ; then Drizzt manages to escape through a chute , killing a drow in the process and so breaking an old vow , while his companions are overpowered by the drow ( Cobble is killed by Vierna ) and have to run away , getting lost in unknown tunnels in the process . In the fourth part of the book , Drizzt tries to find his way back to join his companions , finding instead the real Regis , prisoner of Entreri . Soon after , the assassin shows up and a new duel ensues , interrupted by a drow party . Again Drizzt and Entreri cooperate to get rid of the drow . In the meanwhile , the dwarves of Mithral Hall become aware of the drow menace and start to organize the army . At the same time , Drizzt ' s companions , joined by Guenhwyvar , reorganize in the tunnels and go again to Drizzt ' s help , facing once more the drow in battle . The drow retreat , but Guenhwyvar must return to the Astral Plane , Pwent falls in a pit and Wulfgar , apparently killed by a collapsing ceiling , is actually taken by a yochlol sent by Lolth in Vierna ' s aid . In the fifth part of the book , Entreri lures once more Drizzt in a duel . The drow has eventually the upper hand and the assassin ends up falling down the side of a mountain . In the meanwhile the dwarves from Mithral Hall meet the bulk of the drow force in battle and defeat it . Drizzt and Regis , back in the tunnels , meet up with Pwent and face the remnants of the drow party led by Vierna and Jarlaxle . Bruenor and Catti - brie soon join them and in the ensuing fight Drizzt kills Vierna while Jarlaxle , injured , is allowed to run away . The companions go back to Mithral Hall victorious bad sad for the loss of Wulfgar . Regis , full of hatred , searches for the body of Entreri , finds him critically injured , steals all his magical possessions , and leaves him to die . The book ends with the revelation of the real sinister plot of the drow : the Matron Mother Yvonnel Baenre plans to conquer Mithral Hall with the aid of the magically imprisoned ancient king Gandalug Battlehammer , and the hunt for Drizzt was just an excuse to scout the territory and to test the strength of the dwarves .
