Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide by Bruce R. Cordell, Chris Sims, Ed Greenwood, Philip Athans (2008, Hardcover)

Simply put, the long time fantasy setting, the Forgotten Realms is dead. This put launches the setting 100 years. Many of the characters we loved are now dead. As is much of the fabled pantheon. Even nations that have become a staple of the Realms are gone.

Forgetting that for a moment, the book itself is poorly done. Some nations get a 2 page write up, but not much info is given. Many favorites are not discussed at all like Tethyr and Rasheman. The deities themselves are passed over quickly. Only the Greater Gods are discussed at all and even then its barely a mention.

Even forgetting the radical changes made to the setting, the book itself is not nearly as good or informative or as useful as its 3rd edition counterpart
