Forging the Realms

Forging the Realms, or Forging the Forgotten Realms, was a weekly series of web articles written by Ed Greenwood on the Dungeons & Dragons website from September 2012 to October 2014, with 102 articles in total. In them, Greenwood discussed aspects of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, in and out of universe, with no particular theme. Due to redevelopments of the D&D website, approximately half are no longer available there, and while most were recorded on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, three are no longer available at all. "How and where and when did the Forgotten Realms start? What's at the heart of Ed Greenwood's creation, and how does the Grand Master of the Realms use his own world when he runs D&D adventures for the players in his campaign? "Forging the Forgotten Realms" is a weekly feature wherein Ed answers all those questions and more."
