By far one of the most elusive supplements for the Forgotten Realms, this wonderful sourcebook details the heartlands of the Realms - the Dales! The lore includes: an overview of the region, its power, cultures and influence, history, political relations, and classic chapters on each Dale that cover customs, secrets, magic, monsters, adventure hooks, trade, law and order, temples, ruins, heroes, cities, maps, and more. Some of the best chapters include Shadowdale (home of Elminster himself), Tarkhaldale (the Lost Dale), the realm of Randal Morn, and much more! One of the best compendiums of Realmslore ever printed, and very hard to find.

This book combined with Volo's Guide to the Dalelands is everything you could possibly want to know about the Dales, heart of the Forgotten Realms. I Highly recommend getting both of them as the material doesn't overlap, they compliment each other quite nicely!

There is not a pre-written adventure included, but there are plenty of adventure hooks, and when combined with Volo's Guide to the Dalelands, you'll have an abundance of adventure ideas that will be easy to flesh out with these books in hand. This expands greatly on the info found in the campaign setting, and will really make your adventures in this area come alive.

This book is supposed to come with a map, so if you're looking to buy it make sure you get the map.


I'd also Highly recommend Elminster's Ecologies,
The Moonsea,
Cormanthyr, The Ruins of Myth Drannor,
Cormyr, & Volo's Guide to Cormyr, for a lifetime of adventuring in the Forgotten Realms!

Forget your average dungeon crawl - this book lets you in on the secrets of the Dalelands. Epic campains will never bee the same.
