Wait, what?
Calimshan is gone? That stinks, I liked it as a setting.
It's not gone, but it's pretty drastically changed. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

I'd say it's still "mostly desert" though, maybe even more so than in the past.
Funny to see this come up. I've just spent the last hour or two winding my way through all the stuff that came up when I searched on "calim" here at the Keep. It's hilarious how many times Sage has pointed people to the free download of the Calimport supplement.
And, speaking of downloads, between the freebies and Paizo, I now have these .pdfs resting on my hard drive:
Empires of the Sands
Empires of the Shining Sea
Calimport
Was there ever a 3.0/3.5 supplement that covered the area?
Also, courtesy of my searching, I pieced together this list of novels (and one story) that are set at least partly in Calimshan:
Halfling's Gem, The--R.A. Salvatore
Night Parade, The--Scott Ciencin
Silent Blade, The--R.A. Salvatore
Sands of the Soul--Voronica Whitney Robinson
Servant of the Shard--R.A. Salvatore
Star of Cursrah--Clayton Emery
Bloodwalk by James P. Davis, book 2 of the Wizards series
Paths of Darkness Quartet by Salvatore
Realms of Infamy: "The Third Level" by Salvatore
If a guy was going to read every substantial thing he could about the Skyfire Emirates/Calimshan--is that the list? Anything big that I'm missing, either in gaming supplement or fiction terms? Other than Stephen Schend's topic here I mean. 
(On the one hand I kind of feel like I should start a new scroll for this, but on the other, there are already so many! It's just that none of them seem to collect it all in one place).
Cheers,

Well, there's odd references and sections in other sources, like Grand History of the Realms and Lost Empires of Faerūn for example.

That what the scribes are for!

Was it not a Points of Light setting? *spoilers*
