Game Information

Welcome to the Forgotten Realms and the world of Faerun! A land of magic and adventure, Faerun is a continent hugging a larger world, which in turn is the third world of eight orbiting a central sun, which is encapsulated in a crystal sphere within a swirling chaos, which is only one in a myriad of alternative dimensions. But for the races of Toril - for the elves and dwarves and gnomes and haflings and humans - Faerun is a very important place. It is home.

It is the primary purpose of this tome to deal with the western portion of the huge landmass of Faerun, in particular the region between the Sea of Swords and the Inner Sea, and more particularly the area around the city known as Baldur's Gate.
