spelled Faerun (with that line above the U)

From what has been revealed so far:

The planet the Forgotten Realms is in is named Aber-Toril...or just Toril

The continent the Realms is names Faerun (which is more a sub-continent, like Europe)

Faerun shares it's land mass with the Horde Lands (like mongolia) in the center and Kara-Tur in the east (China/Japan/India/etc.)

By a land bridge to the south is the Continent of Zakhara (arabian...like sinbad and alladin)

Sailing far to the west is the continent of Maztica (aztec/mayan/new mexco)

In the 3.0 Edition Forgotten Realms Source Book there is a rough map of the planet with a few more continents and sub-continents...

And waaaaaaaay in the past there were hints there is an African continent too...

Abeir Toril is the planet and Faerun is the continent used in the official FR. Maztica, Kara-Tur, Zakhara, all published in 2ed. were not part of Faerun, they were separate continents.
