New Waterdeep is noted in the FR Maztica products but also in the 2E Lands of Intrigue boxed set (which can be downloaded from the WotC downloads page and is hence more accessible). -- The Swordsage

Also from the Forgotten Realms: A nastiness of gargoyles -- The Swordsage

The Bloody Gargoyle. -- The Swordsage

Yes, Lantan was (and is) a human nation. After the Time of Troubles when Gond's avatar was washed up on the island's shore in the form of a gnome, many gnomes have made pilgrimages to Lantan with a few choosing to reside there permanently. As such, the gnomish population of the island continues...

In the old DRAGON article "Rogue Stones and Gemjumping", Ed Greenwood noted a demon lord Argolcheir who was destroyed by Khelben Arunsun and a few other mages. -- The Swordsage

Yes and yes are the answers to your speculations. Eric is the First Lorelord of the Realms. -- The Swordsage

There was a whole, very detailed sourcebook devoted to Skullport for 2E. WotC can't and shouldn't keep rehashing the same material over and over. It has more than enough information on the place to keep an DM or player busy, no matter what edition you play. -- The Swordsage

Yes, it has map(s) but I'm not sure if it is a poster map. -- The Swordsage

I have to disagree here. Quite simply, 2E provided the best FR sourcebooks to date and I don't understand the 'more crunch, less fluff' assertion. Products such as "Sea of Fallen Stars" and "Empires of the Shining South" are all about the realmslore, "Cloak & Dagger" was devoid of crunch and...

As an FR fan, I was ecstatic when GH became the 'core setting' with the advent of 3E. That meant all the generic dross was lumped into GH with little rhyme or reason as to how to fit it in or use it, leaving the Realms free and clear from it's own 'shoehorning 2E time'. Ahh, happy days.:) --...

"Mediocre hack and slash DM"? You obviously have absolutely no idea about the way Ed Greenwood runs a game do you? His games are quintessential ROLEplaying: combat, dice - heck, even rules - are secondary to plot, performance and story. What 2E adventures have Ed's moniker on them were HEAVILY...

A sign at the drain head saying "Don't wear your best sandals":) -- George Krashos

You talking about the original Crown of Narfell, worn by the Nentyarchs of that realm, which was shattered by Sarshel Elethlim during the Triad Crusade and the Fiend Wars, or the reconstructed and reconsecrated Crown of Narfell that presently sits on the head of Queen-Regent Sambryl of Impiltur...

No, that wasn't Ed's intention at all. It was TSR/WotC who made the Realms seem as they do to the originator of this thread. All of the places mentioned aside from Faerun itself were tacked on additions to the world when the Realms were the default setting for 2E. Hence any new campaign settings...

Eric has posted at the Candlekeep boards that the product is a mixture of updated 1E and 2E material (but not simply re-hashed and repeated stuff) as well as new 3E stuff. There is a look at religion in the city and how it affects the citizens, information on such hitherto unexplored places as...

I'm from Adelaide. Haven't gamed since approx. 1989 when I was at university. A big fan of the Forgotten Realms however, and try and keep up with the setting. -- George Krashos

Umm, I know the entire lineage of Cormyr and most of the 'elder' sons are pretty much accounted for. Your best bet is to have a hidden son of King Boldovar (a monarch mentioned in the novels). He reigned (off the top of my head) in the 180s DR or so. He also became a ghazneth and featured in the...

So many favourites, but after having a good think I realised that most of them related to 'themes': A better way of playing the game than existed in the current rules-set: "Two-fisted Fighting" and "Physics and Falling Damage". Enhancing the bad guys articles: "Deathmaster" NPC class, "For...

There are some "internet schmoes" out there who have given and continue to give very valuable input to the Realms. Don't discount the fanbase's ability to produce quality FR work. -- The Swordsage

The latest word from Rich Baker is that a Moonshae accessory may be on the schedule some time soon-ish (which can mean anything up to 3 years for WotC). As for the Mere of Dead Men, I wouldn't think such a small area would have a sourcebook devoted to it. Have you read the Mere of Dead Men...
