Forgotten Realms

The Forgotten Realms, to which this wiki is dedicated, is a campaign setting for Advanced Dungeon & Dragons, by the Wizards of the Coast, originally created as a private gaming world by Ed Greenwood but it has since become the most enduring campaign setting for AD&D. The primary focus of the setting is the supercontinent of Faerûn (in the past supliments for Kara-Tur, orientally styled lands to the east of Faerûn, and other continents were also published, but these parts of the setting have seemingly been discontinued by WotC), part of the world of Abeir-Toril, an Earth-like planet with many real world influences and similarities.

The Forgotten Realms owe alot of its popularity to the many novels using the setting, like the works detailing the trials of famed drow Drizzt Do'Urden of R. A. Salvatore, as well as computer games like Pool of Radiance, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights
