The Big Thank You

The FORGOTTEN REALMS® campaign setting is more than the work of one

(or two or three) women and men. While the world began in the mind of Ed

Greenwood, it has been added to, increased, modified, defined, altered, and

tweaked by innumerable hands since its first publication. Designers have

explored new lands, authors have fleshed out the characters and adventures,

and editors have translated these ravings into passible English. Artists have

brought the Realms to life with pencil, ink, and oil paints. Cartographers have

reproduced the early sketch maps of Eds and brought them further into a new

level of realism and development.

For this reason, the following pack of tightly knitted names represents the

best and the brightest of the Realms, those who have contributed to the world,

and without whom the Realms would have been a little drearier, a little less

clear, and a little less flashy. Without a doubt some important figure has been

inadvertently missed. The writer of this text abjectly apologises for any such

lapses. The only known major omission in this listing of those who have made

the Realms great is you, the reader, who brings his or her own attitude, vision,

and sensibilities to this world. Enjoy.

Special thanks to the men and women, freelance and in-house, designer and

editor, artist and graphics, books and games, who contributed to the Realms:
