Hello, I'm mostly a noobie DM who's started a fast play-by-post campaign of Tyranny of Dragons in Cormyr about a year ago, falling into a pit of Realmslore. I've read skimmed several publications but they can't really keep up with very serious considerations, like how close/far is Calantar's Bridge to Suzail/Hilp.
Anyway, I've read so many posts here to help me build my mental picture of Cormyr. I thought I might as well make an account and start participating.
And I was wondering if there was Discord server for the community? |

Great to have you with us. I have been a lurker here for a long time but I love "the Realms" and it is great to have more people in the community.
I don't think there is a discord server but man I wish there was. |

I see !
Is this Interactive Map accurate enough ? The legend is wonky (like Suzail not being mentioned in favor of Marsember) but the distances is what I'm most interested in.

It seems to be. Distance from Suzail to Arabel on both the site and the FRIA is 115 miles. |

I am a packrat of data, in general. I do still have a lot of software CDs and such from the 90's and 00's, though I copied the FRIA software to a hard drive a long time ago and have installed it repeatedly from hard drives or thumb drives.
I have the old Dragon Magazine Archive software, as well, though with that, once I realized the magazines were just pdfs, I stopped installing the software and stuck with just copying over the files. |

Per the FRIA, the bridge is about 10 miles from Hilp and about 32 miles from Suzail.

Welcome to Candlekeep! 
Feel free to ask any questions you may have... A lot of us have been Realms fans for years, and we know a thing or three about the setting. Plus, we've got some of the authors and creators here!
As for the rest of us, we are friendly, mostly harmless, and occasionally strange... Enjoy your stay! 
While I'm sure there are plenty of D&D/FR Discord servers out there, we don't have one for this community. |
