PREFACE
to a world of magic and adventure. Origi-
nally created by Ed Greenwood, the For-
gotten Realms setting has been
home
to
Dungeons & Dragons stories and games
for decades. Built for tales of swords and
sorcery,
the
Realms initially grew and
flourished in Ed's
D&D
campaign,
which featured he-
roes like the Knights of Myth Drannor in the Dalelands.
Ed
also shared glimpses
of the Realms in the pages of
Dragon
magazine, giving D&D players their first tales
from the wizard Elminster, the old
sage
of Shadowdale,
who occasionally
found his way through
a
portal be-
tween Faen1n
and
our world
and
into
Ed's
living room.
J
AIL AND WELL MET, TRAVELER! WELCOME
When TSR, the
company
that
owned
D&D
at the
time,
sought a
new
campaign
world to
expand the D&D
multiverse, they
chose
the Forgotten Realms,
and in
1987, the gates were flung wide for players
and Dungeon
Masters
all
over the world to
come
to Faerun
and
create
their own heroic tales. A
year
later,
author
R.A.
Salva-
tore introduced readers to the
adventures
of the
drow
outcast
Drizzt Do'Urden in his first novel,
The
Crystal
Shard,
establishing
the Underdark
as an essential part
of
the Realms.
In
the years since,
the Forgotten Realms have played
host to
a
vast number
of game
products, novels,
video
games,
and more, making it
one of
the most widely
vis-
ited
fantasy settings ever created. The
lost portals to the
Realms have returned
and remained open in
the depths
of our imaginations and do
so
to this day,
as
more and
more
visitors
find
their
way there.
It is
no
surprise,
then, that the
Forgotten
Realms be-
came
the
setting
for the first adventures for fifth
edition
Dungeons
&
Dragons. Already, new heroes have
accom-
plished
great
deeds and
saved
Faerun from terrible
evil
and will continue
to do
so, as
long
as the
flame
of
imagi-
nation draws them there.
This book is further fuel
for
the fire
sparked
by those
adventures and
the glimpses
of
the Realms you
can
find
in the fifth
edition
Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's
Guide,
and
Monster Manual.
It
gives you a
broad look
at
the
continent
of Faerun
and
the world
ofToril
in
general,
and the regions of the Sword
Coast and
the
North
in
particular.
In these pages,
you'll
learn
about
the history,
lands,
and
peoples
of
Faerun,
of
the
great city-states of
the
Sword
Coast and
the North,
of
the
world's gods, and of
the fac-
tions
and forces
that
support and
threaten
civilization.
Chapter
1
of this
book
gives an overview of the
Sword
Coast and
nearby lands, its history, the
role of
magic,
and
its religions.
Chapter 2 goes
into detail
about
the
cities
and other
locations of the
Sword Coast. Chapter
3 gives
history
and some game
material
for various
races
and
subraces,
both
common and
uncommon, that
can
be met
on
the
Sword Coast
and in the
North. Chapter
4
shows
how the
character options
in the
Player's Handbook
fit
into
this region and
presents
new character class
options
specific
to the
Forgotten
Realms.
Chapter
5
gives
back-
grounds
designed to link
your characters to
the
great
places, people,
and events of Faerun.
While the
body of
Realms lore is
vast, and
this book is
only an
introduction, the Forgotten Realms
setting-
like
D&D itself- is
yours, and
has been
ever since
Ed
opened
that first portal
and
invited us to
come and visit.
The
Realms
are
a place to
create and
tell
your stories, about
your adventurers
and their deeds. The
lands
and
peoples
of
Faerun welcome
you,
traveler,
for
it is
a place of
peril
sorely
in need of the heroes
you will bring forth.
Go
now, through the portal
of imagination and
into
vast and wonderful
realms
awaiting
beyond.
