Need help putting Forgotten Realms Modules in order

So I want do something completely insane and play at least a good portion of old modules and transposed Video games with my table, starting from the Avatar Series (we’re currently on Waterdeep out of the three books), and I’m not sure what other modules/stories are important enough to the history of the world. We obviously can’t do everything but we’re trying to hit the most important stuff. If anyone can help me come up with a list of the most important modules to Forgotten realms lore. So far what I have is

Avatar crisis
Bhaalspawn saga (I’m currently working on making BG1 and BG2 as a table top with the newish Heroes of Baldur’s Gate as an interlude)
Spellbound adventures
Die, Vecna, die (though I think that’s grayhawk so I haven’t decided if I’m running it)
Pool of Radiance
City of the spider queen
Neverwinter Nights
Shar trilogy
I want to do something for the early days of the spell plague but I can’t find a module for that so I might just have to write something myself
All of the 5e adventures

If anyone has other important events of Forgotten Realms that have modules/video games that would help me immensely! Please and thank you so much!

Level 1-20 campaign based in Cormyr

I’m getting a campaign wrote up for my group and I’m planning on it being a sandbox style game taking place in 1489 DR three years after the war with the Netherese and Sembia, I’ll be using xp inside of milestone and point buy. For session Zero after rules and expectations are discussed, I plan on the players playing as premade characters(purple dragon knights/war wizards) and they’ll all take part in the defense of Suzail. The issue I’m having is finding sources about the battle itself, is there anything that I can read to give me a better idea of how everything went down?

Hasbro Cancelled the D&D Adventure Game

Less than a year after the announcement Hasbro has supposedly cancelled an action adventure game that was supposedly to feature Drizzt.

Here's hoping we still get that TV show.

Where to find recommended reading order?

So I want to dive into fr books and I just dont know where to start.

Amazon offers me over 30 diffrenet drizzt books and I dont want to waste my time on bad books.

Is dirzzt books are the only ones?

I want to read about other races/ places as well and not follow only after one character and group ( Im fine with reading about drizzt I just dont want tk read ONLY about him)

What books/ trillogys you recommend for someone who wants:

* to be sucked into fantasy world and lore

* less of a young adult romance drama and more serious one

I really enjoyed song of ice and fire and Aaragon series if its help.

EDIT: I will add that in DnD I really enjoyed : Baldurs gate 1+2+3, Baldur gate descent into avernus, Out of the abyss and Icewind dale: Rime of the frostmaiden.

Looking for a Level 20 5.5e One Shot? Fight The Moon and save the Forgotten Realms from an Elder Evil in my new Adventure on DM's Guild!

Hail and well met Everyone! 

I just published Dead Moon Rising on DM’s guild! Dead Moon Rising is a Level 20 one shot designed for four players using the 5.5e ruleset, in which they will investigate the convergence of undead near the city of Tantras, after the last adventuring party disappeared after noticing signs of the cult of the Dead Three. What they find in that tomb will send them to the desolate moonlet of Atropus, where they will have to confront and stop the Elder Evil before they can complete their collision course with Faerun, ending all life within the Forgotten Realms.

The adventure itself is about 15 pages long, and goes approximately 4.5-5 hours if ran in a VTT from my experience. Your mileage may vary depending on your group and how you run, but there is a good point in the adventure if you want to split into two sessions. The rest of it includes the character creation rules I used for the playtests, advice on how to run the adventure, a lore primer, and a Bestiary including new 5.5e stat blocks for an Atropal (CR 21), the Aspect of Atropus (CR 23), and most excitingly Atropus, the World Born Dead (CR 29!) 

The maps I used in the playtest are included as well! This adventure is designed to challenge Level 20 characters in the 5.5e edition. It proved to be a moderate to severe challenge to both playtest groups, although both succeeded without any casualties, but as a precaution, I included a few pieces of advice in toning down the adventure if you desire. 

Thank you all for your time, and I hope you all have a great day!

Is it a known fact that you can ascend to godhood ?

Let's say I play a barbarian, would it be lore accurate for him to know that you can ascend to godhood and to have as goal to become the new barbarian god ?

Elminster vs Kas

Kas has the Sword of Kas.

Who wins this fight?

I’m leaning Kas since he beat Vecna, who even pre-ascension I think was more powerful than Elminster (or really any wizard other than maybe Karsus).

Are all Chosen Immortal?

Or is it just a thing for Mystra's chosen? Is it even a thing for all of Mystra's Chosen? Is Volo immortal for example despite being just a bard that Mystra has taken an interest in for some reason?

I kind of assumed most of the "immortal" ones were just powerful wizards but it seems even those will die natural deaths eventually (Gromph, while not a Chosen is only alive because of his amulet for example).

Work In Progress Map of Faerûn set in 1501 Dalereckoning

UPDATE: For some reason Reddit sometimes kills the resolution of the included maps in my posts. I posted the "included in post" maps in the comments. They uploaded there just fine. Wish I knew why. I uploaded the exact same maps. They seem to work on mobile though.

A lot of you have been following my progress on this project. Which is an update to the amazing Mike Schley map of Faerûn. What I have done is taken his blank super hi-res version and added my own symbols, roads and locations. I included all that he had plus so much more. I had to make the font much smaller to get things to fit. This project has been going on for quite some time and when I feel like I am nearing the end I find more. I still have a lot of things I want to do with this map.

I have been scouring all the official sources I can find to update and make this map the most current and accurate Faerûn map out there.

Please look it over and let me know what I have wrong, and what I am missing. I want to share this with the community. I have included a Political map and a 24 Mile Hex map. Here are the links to higher-res maps. Once done, I will share the super high-res version.

Normal Map:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18K3usp0qvkLRKALkGwonEutdE4Svxo_X/view?usp=share_link

I am working on adding undersea cities and locations. I am also thinking of adding depth to all of the large bodies of water.

Political Map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gIVQ4AN2DhYP0vB0HpGQCzchYMieVY4i/view?usp=share_link

This map includes nations, kingdoms, realms, spheres of influence, monster territories and tribal lands.

24 Mile Hex Grid Map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lxndeIS1ueMQIQ06tAovmeoxYS1AkOb8/view?usp=share_link

I went with 24 mile hex because of the size of the map.

New(ish) Ed lore on the islands of Brightstar Lake

https://preview.redd.it/wpdggti8my1h1.png?width=1429&format=png&auto=webp&s=f3c6d5ca0534a762154b5d34f665d5e43c60b704

Ed has dropped some new lore on the hitherto-unexplored islands of Brightstar Lake on his Patreon (codifying some info from a Tweet he made back in February). Not a lot, but I'm going to update my map of Semphar and Murghôm with the new information.

Brightstar Lake, Gbor Nor in the local tongue, is located in the far east of Faerun, so far east it doesn't appear on most maps of the continent. It is located well east of Mulhorand and south-east of Thay. The nation of Murghôm wraps around the western and northern coasts of the lake, whilst Semphar lies on the eastern and southern shores.

The lake is home to five islands of notable size in its north-eastern corner. The only location of note on these islands is the long-destroyed Imaskari city of Bhaluin, located on Maharaal. The four smaller islands to the east are known as the Vraevrar and consist of Qoondan (the northernmost isle), Keskrel (the easternmost isle), Irrace (the southernmost isle) and Narvoresk, the central isle. Keskrel is the most notable of the isles for its tall, mountainous peak and the wyverns that lair upon it, discouraging settlement of the islands.

Ed also details the history of the islands in some detail, it's quite interesting stuff.

Drow Nobles of Menzoberranzan

First thing I did was track down all the noble houses of Menzoberranzan

>https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Houses_of_Menzoberranzan

and put them in order

>https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_drow_houses

So Baenre is of course number one but then going down from there, the list is based on houses that were originally above others (they move around a lot), so Oblodra is House 3, but they didn't stay there very long before being mostly destroyed and taken off the list. But my goal isn't to get the most accurate list, it's to get a list of pretty much everyone, so Oblodra stays number 3 for the purposes of this list which means other houses that otherwise would have been higher are now lower for all the destroyed houses above them. The ranks also fall apart a bit towards the very bottom.

The goal is to run a campaign in Menzoberranzan where players get to see the history happen, so when Oblodra is destroyed (maybe the players will help with that, maybe they'll prevent it from happening) either way, they'll hear about it in game. Assuming my players don't have an in depth knowledge of Menzoberranzan beyond Drizzt and Jarlaxle.

I rolled randomly to see how many nobles each house had, based on the known number of nobles in the houses around it in rank.

But then the next thing I did was google every single drow noble in Menzoberranzan that belonged to any of these houses and gave them combat levels. Some it was easy, they already have levels listed, but most I just made up. Sometimes I would make up the level based on something, like if it said that someone was killed by a Glabrezu, ok so that person probably has a lower level than a base Glabrezu CR. That sort of stuff. If a drow had finished school, I assumed at least level 5. I also took notes as I read through, anything that I could affect a character's combat ability, but that was secondary to just finishing the list.

Anyway, many of the numbers are made up so not canon, so if it's not useful to you please ignore, but if anybody wants my take on Menzoberranzan noble stats, here you go! It will still need some homebrew work to get everything put together but hopefully someone will find it useful.

So are we getting a Dalelands book next month or what?

I’ve been returning to the Realmsbound website every week for the past couple of months. No update, no news, no clear release date other than vague Q2 2026 (technically this June). But what does this mean? Release on DMGuild? Released June 1? Feck me upside the mimic head with an Owlbear dingalong—does anyone know more than me? If so, please share.
