Utter East

The Utter East was the south-easternmost part of Faerûn.

Geography
It bordered the continents of Kara-Tur and Zakhara. It contained the Five Kingdoms ruled by the Ffolk.

Background
The "Utter East" was first mentioned in the original Forgotten Realms Campaign Set (1987), but where it actually lay varied over subsequent sourcebooks, with earlier lore altered to refer to different locations. On page 81 of the Cyclopaedia of the Realms, it is said that ivory from the Utter East arrives in Suzail, but the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 2nd edition: A Grand Tour of the Realms (1993), page 55, changes this to the Unapproachable East. Forgotten Realms Adventures (1990) on page 105 refers to the "mysterious Utter East", but says this is Kara-Tur. Page 45 of the Campaign Set's DM's Sourcebook of the Realms mentions the Blue Diamond, a flying ship, but The Shining South (1993) associates these skyships with Halruaa. The maps in The Shining South finally locate the Utter East, having it lay even further to the south and east, somewhere past Ulgarth.

The Utter East became the site of the Blood & Magic computer game in 1996. It would be developed further in 1998, with the novels Faces of Deception, the Realms of Mystery short story "Darkly, Through a Glass of Ale", and the Double Diamond Triangle Saga all published in that year and set in and around the Utter East.
