I'm hoping the wise members here can help me out with some recommendations for the otherwise unmanageably vast library of products on DM's Guild.

I'm most interested not in rules, mechanics and player options, but flavour. Those old 2nd edition books that get into real detail about what Cormyr's like to visit or who the Harpers are.

If anyone can recommend some highlights that scratch that particular itch, I'd be grateful. Even outside the Forgotten Realms! If there's a lovely, lorey flavoursome DM's Guild guide to Sigil or Eberron's Last War, I'm very much in the market.

Are you mostly looking for old TSR/Wizards products or 3rd-party stuff?

Good question! It's new, third party stuff I'm looking for! I've got all the old Realms stuff I can eat.

The first thing that comes to mind is Jergal: Lord of the End of Everything, written by two noted Realmslore scholars, Eric L Boyd and George Krashos. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/346895/Jergal-Lord-of-the-End-of-Everything

And if you like that, then browse the "Customers Who Bought this Title also Purchased" for other selections.

You might be interested in Seethyr's stuff on the continents to the west (Anchorome, Maztica, Lopango). The bundle has a TON of products in it.

Exploring Eberron is a massive lore expansion by the setting’s creator, finally detailing a ton of stuff WotC never got to and setting the record straight on some stuff with religion. I’m also going to shamelessly shill my own Blessed of The Traveler, a guide to transgender characters and culture in Eberron.
