Tʜᴇ Fᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs [Fᴀɴ Vᴇʀsɪᴏɴ]

Anauroch, the Great Sand Sea, is a vast, magically-warped desert in northern Faerûn, formed by ancient phaerimm magic. This harsh land is a place of extremes, with scorching days and frigid nights, where the landscape shifts from sandy dunes and rocky plains in the south to frozen wastes in the north. The Bedine, nomadic tribes skilled in survival and raiding, are the primary inhabitants, navigating the treacherous terrain and defending their territory against intruders. The Zhentarim, driven by profit, have established trade routes and fortified oases, battling the Bedine for control. The Shadovar, returning from the Plane of Shadow, seek to reclaim the ancient Netheril, altering the climate and subjugating or displacing the Bedine and other inhabitants. Beneath the shifting sands lurk the malevolent phaerimm, powerful spellcasters imprisoned long ago. The land is inhabited by the Bedine, Zhentarim, Shadovar, Phaerimm, Asabi, Blue Dragons, giants, goblins, gnolls, and other creatures.
