The Forgotten Realms Wiki is a collection of (mainly) canon lore from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition and its predecessors.It aims to provide an encyclopedic reference to the wealth of official source material released in the past decades since the setting's inception. With so many Realms products over the years, and certain topics being revised in subsequent editions of D&D, it is often difficult to remember where to look for specific information. The hope is that this wiki will index the information by topic, making it easy to find in a searchable manner.

The wiki boast over 3600 well researched articles and also provides encyclopedic reference to certain non-canon Realms products such as List of computer and video games. The wiki was originally started in 2005 by Drizzt but he has since become inactive, leaving it in the hands of Hashimashadoo. At the end of 2006, long-standing contributors Zerak-Tul and Fw190a8 were added to the administration team.

Forgotten Realms

The Forgotten Realms Wiki was started on October 1st 2005 and for a long time had only a few regular editors. After a month of rotation on the Wikia Spotlight in early 2007 the wiki saw a surge in new editors, something that we hope would be repeated and surpassed, through being featured on Wikia. Features of the Forgotten Realms wiki include;

  • Interactive maps of Faerûn and its cosmological planes.
  • Ever-expanding timeline of the Realms' lengthy history.
  • Extensive citation project, to not only provide accurate information, but also to help readers find the products they could be interested in.
  • Illustrations for hundreds of articles.
  • Recently hit 3000 articles, through the work of a growing team of editors.
  • User-friendly Portals to ease topical navigation.

Suggested blurb:

Blurb

The Forgotten Realms Wiki is an encyclopedia covering the richly detailed high fantasy world of the Realms. Created in the mind of Ed Greenwood almost four decades ago, it has been the setting for vibrant computer games such as Baldur's Gate II and Neverwinter Nights and almost two hundred novels from authors as talented as R.A. Salvatore, Douglas Niles and Elaine Cunningham. It has spawned great heroes like Drizzt Do'Urden and Elminster, and inspired countless pen and paper games of Dungeons & Dragons.

With source material spanning a full two decades, a complete encyclopedia of the Forgotten Realms has never before been attempted on this scale. With a quickly growing article count of over 3000, accuracy is vital to the project in order to stay faithful to the incredibly detailed world and provide an indispensible reference for players, DMs and fans alike.
