DM’s book digs into different parts of the Realms.

"Part of our re-imagining of these core books was also wanting to return to D&D's most popular setting--the Forgotten Realms."
Adventures in Faerûn is the first player's guide other than the setting in 5th edition. This will be two books, one for Dungeon Masters, one for players.
The Dungeon Master's book digs into different parts of the Realms--Baldur's Gate for urban fantasy, Iceland Dale for survival horror, isolated towns, a giant elvish mega dungeon, fairy stories and conflict which can be resolved without violence in the Moonshae Isles, and the land of Kalimshan. Each delivers a different play style.
Adventures in Faerûn will contain deep dives on five different parts of the Forgotten Realms, each of which are meant to focus on a "different kind of fantasy." The five areas include the Moonshae Isles, Icewind Dale, the Dalelands, Calimshan, and Baldur's Gate. Each area will have short adventures for DMs to run or help launch a campaign.
When asked whether the Forgotten Realms would have any changes, Crawford said that some areas of the Forgotten Realms would have new developments, particularly in areas where Fifth Edition hasn't touched before. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3 will be referenced in the artwork of the Baldur's Gate section and there would be some other nods to the game in that section as well.

Adventures in Faerûn will be a trove of information and resources for Dungeon Masters to create their own epic fantasy adventures. It will also contain five in-depth setting guides for iconic locations in the Forgotten Realms that support a variety of adventure genres:
- Baldur’s Gate
- Calimshan
- The Dalelands
- Moonshae Isles
- Icewind Dale
