I would more expect to find such a library in Calimport - Sharess does have a presence there... |

Trust me. I KNOW.

But Lhaeo's a married man now, THO! ;) Or does he get to be a Coolest Scribe of the past with other things on his plate now?

Whose brain cross-hatches that other discussion on festhalls and wonders if there's a festhall/library somewhere in the Realms (Best Guess--Baldur's Gate or Suzail) wherein the libidinous young scribes all write and collect the erotica of the Realms? |

Sorry, but I prefer your lap, my dear Lady. Of course, if I could hang out with you and Storm, and there was much sharing of laps, then I would feel like the coolest scribe out there.   |

Oh yes, The Cormyr novel and Death of the Dragon would work best for you then. |

Got few subjects as freedom and family as Corymrians are Tethyrians in origin.

I thought the cool scribes hung out in Waterdeep... |

There are also Four from Cormyr and Into the Dragon's Lair. I'd also recommend checking the Realms-L mailing list (archived at http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.exe?S1=realms-l), the Questions for Ed Greenwood thread in the novels section, and a general forum search for topics on 'Cormyr,' 'Purple Dragon' and similar subjects.
Otherwise, specific answers will probably require specific questions to be asked. |

As others have pointed out, there's plenty of source material out there... But I stand by the novel as the best source of historical info.  |

The 1e and 2e box sets.
Volo's Guide to Cormyr
Cormyr sourcebook
The FRCS
Haunted Halls of Eveningstar
Death of the Dragon
And I might be forgetting one or two others. :) |

Well met, Seter Durothil
There is of course the Cormyr tome, which gives a fair amount of information on the Forest Kingdom.
As Wooly Rupert states, the Cormyr: A Novel tome is a beautiful historic tale of the kingdom, which I highly recommend. |

Nothing we know of has happened in 1384, since it's about 1372 or 1373 right now.
I'd recommend Cormyr: The Novel, as it covers many important historical happenings in the Forest Kingdom. |
