Forging the Realms

Forging the Realms, or Forging the Forgotten Realms, was a weekly series of web articles written by Ed Greenwood from September 2012 to October 2014. The series featured articles about the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, with no particular theme.

"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."
