Description[]
Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn includes eight new subclasses, eighteen player-character backgrounds, forty-two deities, thirty-four feats, eight factions, nineteen spells, three magic items, twelve mundane items, two monsters, and thirteen maps, as well as overviews of ten regions of Faerûn.
Notably, 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.)
