My favorites, in order of usefulness to a DM.1)Lands of Intrigue: You simply can't find a modern setting today that has the level of details both on the maps and information presented. The plot hooks introduced here and later fleshed out in Empires of the Shining Sea by the masterful Steve Schend.2) Empires of the Shining Sea: Steve Schend continues to explore the themes of southern Faerun, offering pages of adventure hooks, plots and intrigues. The organizations introduced in both Lands of Intrigue and Empires of the Shining Sea provide numerous adventure hooks and enough material for campaigns that could last years. The Twisted Rune, in particular is an excellent shadowy organization that can easily be tapped for campaign ideas.3) The 2E deity books, Faiths and Pantheons, Powers and Pantheons, Demihuman Deities. All of these books are excellent source of information for ideas involving the deities of the Forgotten Realms. 4) Volo's Guides: These are all excellent sources of information that address the smallest detail of certain areas of the Realms. Though they are outdated by many of the dramatic and overreaching changes found in 4E, you can still mine them for information. 5) Lost Empires of Faerun: A good place to find information about some of the forgotten kingdoms found in Faerun. Good luck in your campaign, and well met!</blockquote>
