I‘m surprised if fans or WotC haven’t tried.I have to say, I'd hate to be the continuity editor for these people. Can you imagine keeping track of everything that's been written about Zhentil Keep in 40 years?

True. And the modern unofficial but dominant map by Anna Meyer has borders down to provinces, as did the detailed books like Marklands. But I’ll try to stop talking GHon an FR thread now. Lol.True regarding the Darlene map, but in the book I recall that you have the resources and national alignment map showing “borders”.
Yup. This is what computer game franchises do.Seems pretty easy by dint of the permanent nature of text. It's not like they don't know what they've published. Time consuming? Absolutely. But only for the initial setup. Hire a team to comb through all the old material, build a wiki out of it, and then create custom software similar to the old FR Atlas, but made searchable by location, name, event, author or year. Once it's setup, you could find out every event that's happened in a location, everything a specific characters has done, interactions they've had with other characters, every major and minor event that happens in a given year, etc. Once you have that, it's simply a matter of keeping minimal staff - possibly even just a single person - to update as new material is released. And any authors -novelists or adventure writers - could get any information they needed at a few keystrokes.
So that means it lists/have info on stuff like the Silverstars of Selune, Morning Lords of Lathander, Stormlords of Talos, etc, etc? or like what the Specialty Priests for each of the gods are called.but really strong on things like specialty priests for a ton of FR gods
The 2e Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover covers gods from pages 15 to 41 with entries like this:So that means it lists/have info on stuff like the Silverstars of Selune, Morning Lords of Lathander, Stormlords of Talos, etc, etc? or like what the Specialty Priests for each of the gods are called.
Because I've been trying to find the list of such things and what they are for each god in the FR and I can't really find much except what's in Icewind Dale 2(the PC game) and the few I know off hand.
You're gonna want to look at Faith's and Avatars (2e), Demihuman Deities (2e), and Faith's and Pantheons (3e). All written by Eric L. Boyd, one of my favorite authors and researchers of all things FR. A real sage.So that means it lists/have info on stuff like the Silverstars of Selune, Morning Lords of Lathander, Stormlords of Talos, etc, etc? or like what the Specialty Priests for each of the gods are called.

Westgate did get some coverage in one or two of the FR novels, and I want to say there was at least one adventure in DUNGEON magazine with a very nice map. That's off the top of my head (with one cup of coffee) and not via GoogleGot a question and might as well just ask it here:
Does anyone remember if Westgate ever got some kind of detailed coverage anywhere between 1st and 3rd edition? I often got the impression that it's supposed to be a big deal, but can't find any actual sources about it.
Yes, the Night Masks! There was a novel (or series of novels) with that name if I recall correctly.The fancy full page map is in both the 1st and 2nd edition Campaign Sets, but barely any information about the city other than that there is a thieves guild called the Night Masks.
What hardcover book? Never heard of that.I could be entirely misremembering, but I thought there was a couple pages on Westgate in the 1st setting hardcover book.
Cloak and Dagger (2e)The fancy full page map is in both the 1st and 2nd edition Campaign Sets, but barely any information about the city other than that there is a thieves guild called the Night Masks.
Page 116 and 117 in the first hardcover setting sourcebook, Forgotten Realms Adventures.What hardcover book? Never heard of that.
Preferably somewhere I have a level/group appropriate module I would be interested in running.NOW comes the FR question: If a character gets randomly dropped into FR, where specifically would you have them land?
