Anthropologic and Folkloric Historie of the Settled Lands was a seven-volume series of books written by the famed historian Carcroft the Long. It detailed the history and legends of the societies and cultures in the Settled Lands of Faerûn,[1][2] these being the lands of Cormyr, Sembia, and the Dalelands.[3]
The third volume touched on the life of a bandit chieftain known as Fastred who lived within the Vast Swamp and the legend of his ghost. Carcroft mentioned that lizardfolk, goblins, trolls, and grells lived there too.[1]
The retired War Wizard and sage Benelaius had a copy in his library at his home near Ghars, Cormyr. His servant Jasper read it in 1366/1367 DR. He thought it was old-fashioned and had terrible spelling. Nevertheless, he quoted it for his account of the murders in Ghars at the time.[1]
A copy was kept in Candlekeep around 1372 DR.[2]
