Hi all--am considering how to organize a list of references for a FR bibliography of sorts, and settled on starting with a general geographical breakdown of the realms into Continents/Regions/Sub-Regions. So far have only the most general organization, but want to make sure I have that as a firm foundation before I get into anything more granular.
It's available as a google doc here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_iLv6b80hAjBtTLqrj8xhJlOpPd6eqC3wbbP0j45HpY/edit
If you have the time, I'd really appreciate any eyes to make sure I'm not missing something obvious or miscategorizing something (I have no idea where Impiltur should be sorted, for instance.) Thanks!

| So the 1e-3E campaign settings set subdivisions and were pretty consistent, similar but a little different than yours. 3E Underdark created (also in 4E FRCG) created Underdark subdivisions geographically rather than by depth. |

Thanks! I'm mostly going on a combination of the 3e campaign setting books and the general organization used on the wiki, but there are a few places where what I was pulling felt fairly ambiguous (esp. in the north, hence above hand-wringing about Impiltur.) Will look back at some of the earlier sourcebooks and see if that clarifies some of the less defined regions for me.
Also had forgotten about the geographic Underdark divisions, hadn't considered the 4e sourcebooks though, so will take a gander at those as well! |

Looking at a map of the area that Impiltur's in, I'd add it to the Eastern Heartlands section as it's connected to the same landmass as The Vast and the waters between it and Thesk make for a good cutoff point compared to awkwardly dividing the landmass into two regions along the Earthspur Mountains, especially with Narfell/Rawlinswood being to the immediate north to cut off the Eastern Heartlands in that direction.
