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:
“So that the reverence and the gaiety
May not be forgotten in later experience,
In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,
The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,
Or in the piety of the convert
Which may be tainted with a self-conceit....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“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)
“We believe that Carlyle has, after all, more readers, and is better known to-day for this very originality of style, and that posterity will have reason to thank him for emancipating the language, in some measure, from the fetters which a merely conservative, aimless, and pedantic literary class had imposed upon it, and setting an example of greater freedom and naturalness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
