Best Forgotten Realms adventure?

I'm considering starting a new game in the Realms and I was wondering what everyone considered to be the best adventure for the setting.

Note: I have little use for huge dungeon crawls.

There's been precious little adventure material for FR, strangely.

A couple of suggestions:

Silver Marches has a fairly low-level (and somewhat low-detail) "campaign" (a few short linked adventures) for somewhere around level 5-ish.

Dungeon magazine ran a low-level FR adventure called "Raiders of Galath's Roost" which looked to be fun.
 

I am running my charects through the ruins of Myth Dranor, its for 4 6th level PC's. I have 3 PCs and 2 NPC's in my party and they are almost 8th level and are nearing the last part. I lost one of my PC's in a fight. Its fun, has some interesting encounters. But so far they have either been far below their level or too far above (and thats how one of the PC's died).

But its been lots of fun. The PC's have been either shining very well... or a NPC that will be great as a reoccuring villian killed a PC.
 

It wasn't written for the Realms (for RQ actually) but I used this as a 'backdrop' when I first introduced the Realms and it was... well the most brilliant game I have ever run:

The author (Pete Maranci) wrote it for RQ, but it's adaptable to any campaign to add spice - Here's the link:

FR one true strength is it's size and diversity. Find any adventure you like and plop it down. They have forests, jungles, glaciers, desert and so on and so on....:)
 

Thanks guys, I'm going to check out those links now.

I just wanted to add that the adventure need not be 3e. 2e stuff is fine, prefered actually since I can get it in PDF form.

Since I'llbe doing most of my prep work here at work, PDFs are preffered. ;)
 

the 2e adventure Swords of the Iron Legion was awsome. very good and not dungeon crawly at all. only problem maybe that it was battle system heavy and there is not a 3e counter part, but i recommend looking into it. the original myth drannor is better IMO than the 3e version as well as the Curse of the Azure Bonds both from 2e.
Thats all off the top of my head.

As Eric mentioned, FR adventures are few and far between - and, IMNSHO, all pretty lousy.

My top 3 are:
1) Undermountain (giant dungeon, so you won't be interested)
2) City of the Spider Queen (giant dungeon, so you won't be interested)
3) FA1 Halls of the High King - *not* a dungeon crawl! Written by Ed Greenwood, takes place on the Moonshae Isles. IDHTBIFOM so I can't explain much more - it's been a long time since I've gone through it...
