I have looked through all my old books and online but I still can't find good lore on the High Forest. Anyone know where I can find some?

Off the top of my head, here's the sources I've been using for the High Forest:
Sourcebooks:
Silver Marches
The North
Volo's Guide to the North
Lost Empires of Faerun
The Savage Frontier
Champions of Valor
Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark
The Grand History of the Realms
Adventures:
Hellgate Keep
Novels:
Son of Thunder
The Last Mythal series (book 1, maybe book 2, been awhile since I read those)
You'll also want George Krashos' Timeline of the North (there's a version of that on Eric Boyd's website) and the old Mintiper's Chapbook series of columns on the 3e FR website (those are still up if you google for them.)
If you're running a 5e game, there's some information in Storm King's Thunder, too. And I'm probably missing some sources people will tell me about. |

If only lots of great realmslore on the High Forest could be published. That would be a good day.

| Snowblood also made some lore books that detailed the elven kingdom histories that covered the High Forest. You might want to start with Aryvandaar. http://phasai.deviantart.com/art/Aryvandaar-The-Golden-Empire-211343262 |
Make the best use of the system that's there, then modify the mechanics that don't allow you to have the fun you are looking for. |
