Talk:Anchorome

Old Wikipedia data

 * Because it would too much work for me alone;
 * Because I worked so much on the Wikipedia entries;
 * Because I believe my intense researches are still of use (especially the labourously collected external links);
 * Because I do not know enough of the forgottenrealms Wikia lore to dare or wish to intervene directly anymore,

I just paste in the permalink of what I believe to be most exhaustive Wikipedia entry on the topic:

Most complete permalink for Anchorome

(starting point: Geographical index of Toril on 18th of March 2007)

Could some kind soul take care of extracting the data somewhere it would not be deleted again because of “lack of notability”? Note that a lot of content may be duplicate and also has to be rewritten. Some link shouls also be checked (think archive.org] if nothing else), Wizards of the Coast not being that serious with permanency of data.

impression
I get the impression that this is an analog to what's now Canada, Alaska, and the lower 48 of the United States. — Gringo300 (talk) 03:15, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

That is the common understanding among fans. "Anchorome" is almost "America" backwards! However, very little has been said about the place, and pretty much just what's been given here in the article, so anything could be going on there. — BadCatMan (talk) 07:31, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

For the record, intially, Anchorome was a joke. It was an archipelago with dungeons and Greenwood's adventuring party finished raiding a dungeon, they were teleported to the next one (source: late toril.info, if my memory serves me well).-- David Latapie (✒ | @) 00:52, October 8, 2013 (UTC)

I like Anchorome. One of the few places in the Realms where there is still mystery because every square inch hasn't been extensively documented. =) BZero (talk) 13:50, October 9, 2013 (UTC)

So you probably hate what they did to the Realms in 4E. As for me, I play with the 2E setting: 3E realms + Great Wheel.-- David Latapie (✒ | @) 22:59, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

I've stayed away from 4E in general. I still run FR3E. =) BZero (talk) 12:24, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Island or continent?
I'm reading the beautiful Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 2nd edition (revised), and in page 4 it said that Anchorome is an island. Is there any source the continent? I remember reading in Candlekeep that the continent stuff was fanmade.--Zero (talk) 14:45, January 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * Years after your comment, the article has been revamped, and hopefully, it answers your questions now. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:55, February 29, 2020 (UTC)
