Darkness pervades the cities and castles, and an evil walks the land. Arriving in January is the main campaign sourcebook detailing the land and its inhabitants; its culture and magics. Following in April will be the Castlemorn Player's Guide, giving the player character all the information they need for an ongoing campaign in the Castlemorn universe. The month of July sees the release of Dark Metropolis, a detailed location sourcebook of one of the most important locations in Ed's new world. Finally for the 2004 release year, October will feature the Castlemorn Ruins Sourcebook, a veritable encyclopedia of information on the ruins that dot the land.Or from FFE's web site:Fast Forward to publish Ed Greenwood's Castlemorn in d20The infamous author of Forgotten Realms, Ed Greenwood, is collaborating with Fast Forward Entertainment to create a new fantasy d20 System world setting. Fast Forward will publish four new products starting in January 2004. As the creator of the world famous Forgotten Realms setting for TSR, Ed has brought his incredible talent to bear on a brand new world of adventure. The world of Castlemorn is a world of ancient ruins and long, undiscovered races and locals. Darkness pervades the cities and castles, and an evil walks the land. Arriving in January is the main campaign sourcebook detailing the land and its inhabitants; its culture and magics.

Finally for the 2004 release year, October will feature the Castlemorn Ruins Sourcebook, a veritable encyclopedia of information on the ruins that dot the land. Fans of Ed Greenwood and fans of the Forgotten Realms will marvel at the richly developed new world that is - Castlemorn!Also Ed had this to say on the FR mailing list:<a href="http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0309c&L=realms-l&F=&S=&P=7202" target="_blank">http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0309c&L=realms-l&F=&S=&P=7202</a>"KN, I haven't split from WotC. Remember, I've neverbeen employed by either TSR (though they did try) orWotC. I've always just been a freelancer, like all ofyou. I'm quite happy with the folks I work with atWotC, there are no legal troubles or hard feelings Iknow of between us (honestly), and the "new setting"is my sixth or so that I've tinkered with since theRealms first saw print. Building worlds stokes myfire. Look at it this way: if a mother has a secondchild, does she turn her back on the first? I love allof the worlds I've created or played in (I got to playin Middle Earth, a few years back, and that was ablast, and was talking with Roger and hoping to get toplay in Amber in a small way before Roger Zelaznydied), and because they're all different, I don't tryto measure one against another. Some nights I want tolisten to this music, other nights this other music .. .I want to do more in-close detailing of Realmssettings (cities, individual realms) than the currentschedule allows, yes. So I'm finding an outlet forthat sort of design that won't get in the way of anyopportunities WotC may give me in the future to domore Realms design work. For the record, I've beenworking steadily on Realms game and book material foras long as I can remember, and there are fivecontracted Realms novels that haven't seen print yet.So, unless I get run over by a bus or somethingcorporate happens in the future, you're going to beseeing Ed Greenwood Realms stuff for years yet. WotCand freelance folks still contact me with Realmslorequeries six or seven times a week. Remember, my handtouches a lot of Realms stuff that doesn't have myname on it, one way or another, and that's fine: thisis, after all, now truly a SHARED world."</blockquote>
