Legend
My love of the Realms in no small part began with seeing the giant maps in the grey box spread out in front of me.
I loved the tantalizing hints and hooks of adventure wherever the players wanted to go. The ruins of fallen civilizations, strange magics, the plotting Red Wizards and Zhentarim, the bustling cities. I can practically smell Waterdeep.
I’ll also mention the Underdark, which I love as an adventure setting. While it existed prior to Forgotten Realms, what we think of as it today was developed and refined there.

It has ever nicer maps.
