Amarune's Almanac: Forests of the Realms
I love books like this." - Ed Greenwood (excerpt from Foreword) " When Arclath asked me what a forest was¸ I probably looked at him like he'd sprouted an extra head. Though¸ he posed a good question; if I'm writing this book to explain these locales to people who have never seen them¸ how would I explain a 'forest' to someone who's lived in a desert wasteland for their entire life and never seen a stand of trees larger than a dozen? Saying 'you just know what a forest is when you see it' doesn't work anymore. " - Amarune Whitewave Amarune's Almanac Volume 1 is the first in a multipart series exploring the eight biomes of Dungeons & Dragons within the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.
