The Forgotten Realms is a Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting, and is the most popular, most played, and oldest setting among its siblings. The setting was conceived by Ed Greenwood originally as a place for the stories he was telling his friends.
- The Dark Elf Trilogy. While this trilogy was published after Icewind Dale, it’s actually a prequel that chronicles Drizzt Do’Urden’s upbringing in the underground city of Menzoberranzan and his eventually journey to the surface world.
- The Icewind Dale Trilogy. Written by R.A. Salvatore, this series first introduced the legendary dark elf ranger, Drizzt Do’Urden and his companions, as they battle powerful wizards, dread monsters and other foes throughout Faerûn.
- The Cleric Quintet. Written by Drizzt Do’urden creator R.A. Salvatore, this five book series is set in the remote wilds of the Snowflake Mountains and follows the adventures of Cadderly Bonaduce, a young priest of the god Deneir who battles a series of dark forces that threaten his religious order.
- The Twilight War Trilogy. This follow-up series to the Erevis Cale trilogy finds the former assassin once again facing down new threats. At the same time, he finds himself losing his humanity as he becomes altered by shadow magic.

The premise of the book should have made it a home run with just mediocre execution, but it fell way short.

R.A. Salvatore’s Drizzt is by far the setting’s most popular character. The drow with the soul of a ranger was originally meant to be a sidekick and mentor to Wulfgar, the young barbarian that Salvatore had originally conceived of as the protagonist. But it didn’t take long before Drizzt became the protagonist, and he was never better than in this ...
Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms, had this to say about Cunningham’s books: “When I first read Elaine Cunningham’s first Realms novel, ELFSHADOW, I thought: this lady has been reading my mind. This IS Waterdeep; she’s seeing it through my mind’s eye! It’s PERFECT!” Elaine Cunningham has always felt like The Realms’ secret weapon. She n...
The longest series in the Forgotten Realms follows the Harpers, a secret organization dedicated to freedom, foiling the plans of the Zhentarim, and preserving ancient art and lore. They are, at their core, a very easy way to put a Dungeons and Dragons party together in the setting. These books were largely stand-alone. The Ring of Winter followed o...
While Salvatore is best known for Drizzt, his Cleric Quintet even better. It follows the young priest of the god of knowledge, Cadderly Bonaduce, as he foils the plots of Castle Trinity and goes from being a curious, well-meaning skeptic to the most devout priest. There’s a fantastic romance between Cadderly and the monk Danica, and some solid come...
The first book in the Moonshae series by Douglas Niles was the first Forgotten Realms novel. In fact, R.A. Salvatore had originally pitched his own book in the Moonshae Isles, but once he found out they were being used, changed his to Icewind Dale. The Moonshae series feels closest to the epic fantasy series of the time period. Well-meaning nobles ...
Many of the RPG books involving the Forgotten Realms include Volo, world-traveling explorer. Well, this romp of a novel features him being cursed to go around the Realms with an annoying thespian companion who bears a striking resemblance to another author of Forgotten Realms novels. The breakneck pace means there’s always something fun happening, ...
This is basically Indiana Jones in a magical world, and it is exactly as fun as that sounds. A human explorer attempts to discover the secrets of an ancient elven library. Globe-trotting, perusing ancient texts, and a non-stop plot make this book fly by.
The Forgotten Realms has plenty of anthologies, and Realms of Infamy, the second, is the strongest of them. It takes the numerous villains who make up the fabric of the setting and shows us their point of view. The Salvatore story explains how Artemis Entreri became such a high-ranking assassin at such a young age, while the Cunningham shows Elaith...
Ed Greenwood created the Forgotten Realms, so it feels right that he should get the final spot on this list. Elminster is the only character who comes even close in notoriety from the Forgotten Realms to Drizzt. He’s the Chosen of Mystra, goddess of magic, one of the most important Harpers, and the person who knows just how to nudge fledgling heroe...
Mar 1, 2019 · The premise is that, long ago, the Earth and the world of the Forgotten Realms were more closely connected. As time passed, the inhabitants of planet Earth have mostly forgotten about the existence of that other world – hence the name Forgotten Realms.
