I guess the title says it all. Here are the list of environments that I wonder would fit well with regions of Faerun or Toril, and my guesses as to where they could be.

Cold Forests: Probably areas like the Coldwood and Charwood near Neverwinter and Luskan.

Cold Aquatic: Most likely the Sea of Moving Ice as well as the northern portion of the Sea of Swords.

Cold Mountains: Spine of the World is probably the best example.

Cold Plains: Icewind Dale, maybe?

Cold Deserts: Icewind Dale could possibly fit more in this category, but I wonder if the Anauroch would work.

Cold Marshes: No idea.

Temperate Forests: The forests surrounding Cormyr and Neverwinter Wood, most likely.

Temperate Aquatic: Sea of Fallen Stars, perhaps?

Temperate Mountains: A number of mountains in most of Faerun could fit this, unless I'm mistaken.

Temperate Plains: I'd guess the Dalelands could work.

Temperate Marshes: The Trollmoors, or would that work more as a Cold Marsh?

Warm Forests: The Chondalwood and the jungles of Chult, I would guess.

Warm Aquatic: The sea/ocean around Calimsham, maybe?

Warm Mountains: The Smoking Mountains and/or the Marching Mountains, perhaps?

Warm Plains: I'm guessing the Shaar, for one.

Warm Marshes: Not sure. I'm guessing any wetlands around the Lake of Steam.

Warm Deserts: The Calimsham and the Plains of Purple Dust, obviously!

Tyr's sword, I've neglected this thread for so long! Well, at least I'm a bit more educated in this now!
