Forgotten Realms: 1E/2E Supplements Detailing the Cormyr Area?

[Angel Tarragon]

Cormyr is one of my favorite regions in the Realms. I'm looking to purchase some 1E & 2E stock this coming year and I'd pretty much like to have a comprehensive library detailing everything about Cormyr.

I know that there is the Cormyr book, but is there anything beyond it? It doesn't matter how small the blurb in the book, every little bit helps.

Try looking at Volo's Guide to Cormyr and the Four from Cormyr adventure. Hopefully those will be of some help.

Also, have you thought of maybe reading some of the Cormyr novels (if you haven't already)? I know they're not supplements, but (IIRC) Cormyr: A Novel, Beyond the High Road, and Death of a Dragon deal a lot with what happened to make Cormyr the nation that it became.

FRQ1 Haunted Halls of Eveningstar is another

edit: my memory is not as good as it used to be. and i'm at work so i am away from my collection.

 

[DaveyJones]

as for novels try: horselords, dragon wall, and crusade
ironhelm, viperhand, and feathered dragon
cormyr, beyond the high wall, and death of the dragon
murder in cormyr
spellfire: crown of fire
and the sorceror, the summoning, and the siege...

Do you have the 2e hardcover Forgotten Realms Adventures? Excellent buy and lots of info on Cormyr. I seem to recall that some parts of Curse of the Azure Bonds were set there too, so that would have some locations, NPCs and encounters you could lift.

Best sources for Cormyr:

- Cormyr accessory
- Volo's Guide to Cormyr
- FRQ1 Haunted Halls of Eveningstar (details the town of Eveningstar quite fully)
- Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover (for Suzail, Marsember, Arabel, and Tilverton's city statistics such as population, who rules/really rules, standing miliatary, etc)
- Four From Cormyr (adventure anthology)
- FRC2 Curse of the Azure Bonds if you're a total completist
- Elminster's Ecologies box set has several booklets that cover locations in Cormyr, including: "Coastal Aquatic Lands: The Sea of Fallen Stars", "The Cormyrean Marshes", "The Stonelands and the Goblin Marches", and "The Thunder Peaks and the Storm Horns"
- FA2 Nightmare Keep ostensibly takes place in far northwest Cormyr, but doesn't really have much to do with that region

the forgotten realms grey boxed set
vanderghast and the king make appearances in various books too for stats during the 2ed and then 3ed days.

I second Diaglo. The 2e-era FR Boxed set, with the huge section on Shadowdale and surrounding area, really seemed focued on Cormyr, the Dalelands, and that coast of city-states with the city of Arabel (sorry, I Don't know FR too well).

map wise you can't go wrong getting a hold of the FRIA (forgotten realms interactive atlas)
