The Forgotten Realms are the most famous setting for Dungeons & Dragons, popularized by games such as the Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights series, and novels like the Drizzt Do’Urden cycle. The planet of Toril is a vast expanse of different, fantastic territories: the lush jungles of Chult, the intrigue-ridden magocracy of Thay, the windswept deserts of Calimshan, and more. All these regions offer diverse takes on fantasy tropes and some original additions to the genre. However, since the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons has been around, the game has mostly focused on one of these regions, much to many players’ dismay: the Sword Coast. Finally, this is about to change.
