Fables in the Forgotten Realms

Tome64

The Forgotten Realms brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich experiences in the Forgotten Realms setting of Faerun's Sword Coast. While the main focus of the world is Waterdeep, locations throughout the Sword Coast and outer planes are available as well! Including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, The Moonsea, The Outerplanes, and more! What was once a single city has now expanded to most of Faerun in this High Fantasy adventure of magic, technology, and secrets to uncover!


Author's Note: Welcome to The Forgotten Realms Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied worlds in Tabletop, The Forgotten Realms! Now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your main gateway to the other famous Sword Coast locations like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, the Moonsea Region, and even the distant reaches of the Outer Planes. While Waterdeep remains the heart of the experience, its surrounding territories are available for those bold enough to venture beyond the city walls. This adaptation builds upon official Forgotten Realms lore, but introduces both minor and major changes to support a more engaging and open-ended campaign. For example, the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 are playable, but have been recontextualized to exist in Waterdeep rather than Baldur’s Gate. Content is designed for compatibility with Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and a host of original plot hooks waiting to be uncovered across the city’s alleys, taverns, towers, and catacombs. You’re free to explore at your own pace, shape the world as you see fit, or lose yourself in the layered politics, mysteries, and magic of the world. This is not a replacement for a traditional tabletop game—it’s a love letter to it. Dedicated to anyone who struggles to find a group and is itching to play. If you enjoy what’s inside, consider supporting the official Dungeons & Dragons books. They remain an invaluable resource for players and storytellers alike—and they make excellent collectibles.

Description

Elysium is the plane of perfect peace and unshakable joy, where compassion flows like water and evil cannot take root. It exists as a place not of reward, but of release—where the soul no longer strives, judges, or yearns. Rivers wind through golden fields and silver groves, carrying a divine stillness that calms even the most tormented spirit. The light here has no source yet never fades. Time drifts softly, marked only by the bloom of a flower or the return of migrating birds. Mortals who enter may feel their burdens dissolve, their memories soften, and their desire to leave slowly vanish. The plane is composed of four layers, each more radiant and introspective than the last, culminating in the deepest serenity. Though no ruling power commands Elysium, its very presence reshapes those who dwell within. To walk this plane is not to forget pain, but to remember the self that exists beneath it.

Appearance

Elysium appears as an endless paradise of gentle rivers, flowering meadows, and trees with leaves that shimmer like spun silver. The sky glows in perpetual dusk-light—soft, golden, and without sun. Mountains rise without menace; lakes reflect perfect stillness. Animals roam unafraid, and the air carries the hush of eternal peace. Even shadows seem kind. The landscape offers no urgency, only rest, reflection, and an invitation to remain.
