Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms)
The Seven Sisters—fictional characters of the "Forgotten Realms" campaign setting of the "Dungeons & Dragons" Role Playing Game. The sisters are epic level characters (characters possessing nearly super-human levels of skill and power) of differing abilities, most of which involve some form of spellcasting and use of magic. Created by Ed Greenwood, they have been featured in multiple novels, games, and officially created scenarios by an equally large number of authors/game-designers.
Ed Greenwood
In 1986, the American game publishing company TSR began looking for a new campaign setting for the "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" game, and assigned Jeff Grubb to find out more about the setting used by Greenwood in his articles for "Dragon" magazine. According to Greenwood, Grubb asked him "Do you just make this stuff up as you go, or do you really have a huge campaign world?"; he answered "yes" to both questions. TSR felt that the Forgotten Realms would be a more open-ended setting than the epic Dragonlance setting, and chose the Realms as a ready-made campaign for "AD&D" 2nd Edition.
