The last time I updated my FR novel and sourcebook list the sourcebooks and novels add to 355 items. This includes the Maztica, Kara-tur, Horde, and Zakhara material
However, I haven't updated either list in about a year or two so I need to do it again. So, I'd hazard a guess that there's over 500 to 600 items if you include the comics, web articles, Dragon/Dungeon articles, Polyhedron articles, etc. However, that # might even be higher if you start adding in the material from other settings that touch on material that relates to FR, like the Planescape, Spelljammer, and Ravenloft material. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

That sounds about right. The old number I've got here stands at 383, and that was just before the release of the last year's worth of 3e FR products. Though I think I missed a few novels there, as well.

I like to include everything, for completeness. I even included tomes like the Expedition to Undermountain source which, while not specifically branded as FORGOTTEN REALMS, does feature Realms content and uses a Realms setting for the material.

Another one.. Maybe someday I'll stop.
If I remember well, there were some rumors at FRCS 3.0, that some priests were trying to ressurect Moander. There is any canon information about it? Is he truly dead? |

I believe that Moander is told to be a dead god in canon lore.
He is, but he's like a cockroach -- it seems impossible to kill him. Pages 117-8 of Power of Faerūn discuss his potential return, building on Ed's lore from Volo's Guide to the Dalelands, pages 97-98. The latter source is available from the Wizards downloads page. Basically, a still-divine but separated from the main part of Moander was imprisoned there years ago, and now it's waking up and trying to get loose. |

Other than the novel Sage mentioned, the only novels I know of that deal with Moander are the books of the Finder's Stone trilogy -- and none of those deal with that sleeping part near Tsornyl. |

It might be touched on in a future novel, I suppose. But I'd assume the whole "lingering Moander" theme that ran through previous editions of FR, has been set aside for the time being in the post-Spellplague Realms.
There's so much other new material that needs to be explained/explored first.

Could you be more precise about those rumors you mentionned above.
It's in Power of Faerūn. |

You'll find it on pg. 117, under the 'Moander Rises From the Rot' section in the "High-Level Challenges" chapter. |

| There are some FR titles that are more difficult to obtain than others, but none that are really hard to find. |

Allright.
I think that Ebay is the best way to get old novels... 
EDIT : Sage posted in the same time as I did ! I'm going to visit this website...
Most of the novels I've had to replace, I got from eBay. |

After some days, another question came to my mind:
There is any restriction (at RP) for faithless get ressurected?
I've found this serching for them:
quote:
Their fate is to be made part of the City wall in The City of Judgment on the Fugue Plane. Each soul is held together with a green mould from which no one who is part of the wall can break free.
If there isn't any restriction/canon lore for it, what's you opinion? |

I'd assume that if they're in the Wall, they're not coming back out unless you convince Kelemvor. So I'd say they can possibly be resurrected, but you'd need more than just a resurrection... It would likely be something more like pleading your case to a high priest of Kelemvor, who then sends you on a task or series of tasks. Only if you complete all the tasks does the priest then do the resurrection.
So it's possible, but only by high-level priests of Kelemvor. That's my opinion. |

Did you read FR DC Comics? Is it good? |
