This page lists exceptions to the Forgotten Realms Wiki's canon policy. Note that the canon policy applies in all other cases.

Ed Greenwood

 * The Border Kingdoms
 * This sourcebook is co-authored by Ed Greenwood and Alex Kammer who have stated they were given permission by Wizards of the Coast to market it as a canon work. Also bearing in mind Ed Greenwood's status in the canon policy, this work is considered valid for the wiki.

Organized Play

 * Adventurers League
 * Despite not being part of an Adventurers League "season", the following works are considered valid for the wiki:
 * A Great Upheaval
 * In Volo's Wake
 * Rrakkma
 * Underworld Speculation

Video Games

 * Planescape: Torment
 * Although it is not directly set in the Forgotten Realms, Planescape: Torment contains several references to Realmsian lore. Conversely, several Forgotten Realms products reference events and characters from the game (especially Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, and Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms).

Charity Products

 * Minsc & Boo's Journal of Villainy
 * An analysis of this work indicates a number of discrepancies with established lore. Coupled with the unusual circumstances surrounding its publication status, Minsc & Boo's is considered invalid for the wiki. This may change at a later date if later sources, such as Baldur's Gate III, carry over some of the lore developments found in this work.

Comics

 * Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons
 * This comic series is partially set in a "dimension" called "the Forgotten Realms" that bears little resemblance to the actual Realms. This interpretation of the Forgotten Realms should not be considered canon.

Novels

 * Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club
 * In this Young Adult book series, a group of fictional characters play several sessions of Dungeons & Dragons set in their version of the Forgotten Realms. This meta interpretation of the Realms should not be considered canon.
 * The Baldur's Gate novel trilogy
 * In a community discussion, it was decided that the novel adaptations of the Baldur's Gate series of video games should be disregarded except where referenced by later sources.

Organized Play

 * Adventurers League
 * Adventurers League ceased publishing official adventures in November 2022. Any Adventurers League worked published after this date is considered invalid for the wiki.
 * Any Adventurers League work that is not part of a "season" is considered invalid for the wiki.
 * Adventurers League works that are adaptations of an official adventure are invalid for the wiki.
 * Any Adventurers League work tagged as Community-Created Content (CCC), Author Only (AO), or DMsGuild Adepts is invalid for the wiki.
 * Any Adventurers League tagged as one of the following: DDAL00, DDAL06, DDEP06, DDALCA, DDHC, WBW.
 * Exceptions to the above are noted in the allowlist.
 * Living City
 * The Living City organized play program was discontinued in June 2004, with the final modules premiering at Gen Con Indy in August 2004. Any modules published after this date are considered invalid for the wiki.
 * Living Forgotten Realms
 * The Living Forgotten Realms organized play program lost official support starting in the third quarter of 2010. Any modules published after October 1, 2010 are not valid for the wiki. The only exceptions are the modules CORE 2-6 Ripples in the Stream of Souls, DRAG2-3 Of Wild and Darkened Waters, and DALE2-3 Swords from Plowshares which were published by Wizards of the Coast after October 2010 as part of a Living Forgotten Realms compilation.
 * Living Jungle
 * The Living Jungle program ceased activity in 2003. Any module released after 2003 is considered invalid for the wiki.

Video Games

 * Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms
 * Content added to the game as part of a cross-over with a streamed game are not considered valid for the wiki.
