Contents
The Forgotten Realms Atlas is an indexed book which contains three-color maps of the Forgotten Realms.[3][4] This includes large, small scale regional maps (one inch to two hundred miles), as well as detailed location maps and diagrams of areas including the Moonshae Isles, the Northwest lands near Waterdeep, and the Western Heartlands areas around Cormyr and the Dalelands.[3] These large scale maps cover the areas detailed in Forgotten Realms game modules and novels that had been published before the Atlas.
The Forgotten Realms Atlas has many maps covering the Forgotten Realms, including regions in Pool of Radiance. It is out of print and is prized by collectors.[5]
