On October 1st, the Forgotten Realms Wiki celebrates its 10th anniversary, a decade of article writing, dedicated wiki development, and exploration of the Forgotten Realms, Kara-Tur, Al-Qadim, and related settings. It's been a long journey, and we're all proud of the efforts of editors past and present, and thankful to our readers, making this the premier Forgotten Realms resource for players, DMs, authors, and designers alike.

See our project aims and scope here and read about our long history from humble beginnings through tumultuous transitions to becoming one of the top wikis on the Internet. Share your memories of the past and ideas for the future here in our Forum, and see this report and analysis of the wiki's progress over the last decade.

Carry on, sages.
