Etc.Perhaps if they decide to write and release a campaign setting book for the Realms for 5E we'll get better details... but for now, I think that your 3E map is probably 'eh' when it comes to being useful.  But you can google plenty of 4E Realms maps to check it out for yourself.  (And indeed, if you really like the map that comes with the 3E campaign setting book, someone did photoshop that map to add in all the 4E details and I think it looks really good.  You can see it <a href="http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1723/faerunrlarge3vs4v3.jpg" target="_blank">HERE</a>.)</blockquote>
