Cormyr in The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting
Cormyr first appeared in 1987 in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set boxed set published by TSR. The Campaign setting briefly outlines the nation with three pages of content, which Ken Rolston describes as "the nation receiving the most attention", and that "the few details given are at least plausible and are often good hooks for adventuring.
The 1990 hardcover Forgotten Realms Adventures added detail to three major cities within the boundaries of the country. Also released in 1990, The Forgotten Realms Atlas further describes Cormyr.
The 1993 Players Guide to the Forgotten Realms further expands on areas within the setting. Also released in 1993 was the second edition of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting boxed set which contained more detailed information on Cormyr than did the original boxed set.
The 1994 accessory Cormyr provided significantly enhanced details about the geography, history, society, royalty, commoners and military of the region. An additional Forgotten Realms supplement published in 1994, Elminster's Ecologies details geography as well as flora and fauna in and around Cormyr.
In 2001 the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting was reedited by Wizards of the Coast. The third edition added details and advanced the fictional time line of Cormyr by several years.

Famous quotes containing the words forgotten, realms, campaign and/or setting:
“The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
