Description[]

It includes five detailed gazetteers on Baldur's Gate (described as dark urban fantasy), Calimshan, Dalelands, Moonshae Isles, and Icewind Dale (described as survival horror), with over fifty mini-adventure ideas, in addition to "The Lost Library of Lethchauntos". It also includes fifty-two maps, forty stat-blocks for monsters and villains, and seven magic items. It also includes rules for Bastions, allowing player-built strongholds.

Notably, it is the first official D&D sourcebook to name the Forgotten Realms Wiki, with the first chapter mentioning it as a useful resource for the Forgotten Realms. Moreover, it was written with the aid of the Forgotten Realms Wiki, as evidenced by the appearance of obscure lore only documented here and the canonization of wiki footnotes. This continues a practice since at least Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. (The wiki cannot take responsibility for it, however.)
