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.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“There is a god within us, and the heavens
Have intercourse with earth; from realms above
That spirit comes.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Now, Mr. President, we don’t intend to trouble you during the campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
