                      | Hartsvale certainly is canon. Practically all of FOR6 Giantcraft is devoted to this area and the material contained within the novels. I believe that "Silver Marches" has some references to Hartsvale also. 
 This novel trilogy was one of those unfortunate ones written in a vacuum. It doesn't deal at all with the greater Realms around Hartsvale and is like a plug and play addition. It's not considered a great aspect of the Realms by the wider FR community.
