==Storyline== {{Template:Non-canon 2}} The [[Wikipedia:Forgotten Realms|Forgotten Realms]] is a [[Wikipedia:campaign setting|campaign setting]] for the ''D&D'' fantasy [[Wikipedia:role-playing game|role-playing game]].<ref name="All Things">{{YouTubeRef|MNMRbRedKic|All Things Drizzt|channel=[[Dungeons & Dragons]]|date=May 20, 2021}}</ref> Commonly referred to by players and game designers alike as "The Realms", the planet [[Wikipedia:Abeir-Toril|Toril]] is shared by [[human]]s, [[dwarves]], [[elves]], [[goblin]]s, [[orc]]s, and other peoples and creatures. Technologically, the world of the Forgotten Realms resembles the pre-industrial Earth of the 13th or 14th century. However, the presence of magic provides an additional element of power to societies. There are several nation-states and many independent cities, with loose alliances being formed for defense or conquest. ''Forgotten Realms'' centers on [[Wikipedia:Faerûn|Faerûn]], a sub-continent in the northern hemisphere of Toril.<ref name="News">{{DailyRef|/news/strixhaven-school-mages-previews-and-more-2021-magic-release-dates-2021-03-18|Strixhaven News + More|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|March 18, 2021}}</ref> The ''Forgotten Realms'' are not considered to be [[canon]]ically part of ''Magic'''s [[Multiverse]].<ref name="Voyages">{{DailyRef|news/magics-voyages-universes-beyond-2021-02-25|Magic's Voyages to the Universes Beyond|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|February 25, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/650535243539972096/where-does-adventures-in-the-forgotten-realms-fit|title=Where does Adventures in the Forgotten realms fit in with the current lore?|May 7, 2021}}</ref> Some cards "play up the feel of an adventuring party together, taking on one big foe," such as [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Drizzt_Do'Urden Drizzt Do'Urden] and some of his friends battling [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Frost_giant Frost giants] in the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Northwest_Faer%C3%BBn north of Faerûn] in the cards' art and flavor text.<ref name="All Things"/> Some iconic ''D&D'' characters, that have traveled the various ''D&D'' [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Cosmology planes of existence], are featured as [[Planeswalker]] cards.<ref name="All Things"/> However, this doesn't mean that these characters have a [[planeswalker's spark]] in the same way that planar travel works in ''Magic'''s lore. According to Wizards of the Coast, they wanted to make these characters as cool as they could possibly be, and as Planeswalkers were a regular part of new ''Magic'' sets - the Planeswalker card type in their opinion would make a great fit.<ref>{{TwitterRef|wizards_Magic|1395418187747893252|author=[[Magic: The Gathering]]|title=To get it out of the way: This doesn't mean that these characters have a Planeswalker Spark.|date=May 20, 2021}}</ref> A ''D&D'' campaign for ''Adventures in the Forgotten Realms'' by [[Will Hindmarch]] was released in chapters via {{Magic Story}}. ''D&D'' character sheets are provided for [[Chandra]], [[Liliana]], [[Kaya]], [[Yanggu]], and [[Narset]], but as with most ''D&D'' adventures they could be played by any characters, and do not represent the ''Magic'' characters canonically traveling to the Forgotten Realms. Within the campaign, [[Ravnica]] exists as a plane in the ''D&D'' multiverse that a few characters have traveled to, but again, this coexistence is simply a creative way to blend ''Magic'' and ''D&D'' for a short adventure and does not reflect the multiverse of the primary ''Magic'' story (or the standard ''Forgotten Realms'' setting). There are five episodes of the campaign: #{{ArticleArchive|magic-story/scarlet-flames-2021-06-30|In Scarlet Flames}}<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/scarlet-flames-2021-06-30|In Scarlet Flames|Will Hindmarch|June 30, 2021}}</ref> #{{ArticleArchive|magic-story/hidden-page-2021-07-07|The Hidden Page}}<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/hidden-page-2021-07-07|The Hidden Page|Will Hindmarch|July 7, 2021}}</ref> #{{ArticleArchive|magic-story/verdant-tomb-2021-07-14|A Verdant Tomb}}<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/verdant-tomb-2021-07-14|A Verdant Tomb|Will Hindmarch|July 14, 2021}}</ref> #{{ArticleArchive|magic-story/deepest-night-2021-07-21|Deepest Night}}<ref>{{DailyRef|/magic-story/deepest-night-2021-07-21|Deepest Night|Will Hindmarch|July 21, 2021}}</ref> #{{ArticleArchive|magic-story/cyan-depths-2021-07-28|From Cyan Depths}}<ref>{{DailyRef|/magic-story/cyan-depths-2021-07-28|From Cyan Depths|Will Hindmarch|July 28, 2021}}</ref> ''Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms'' has no [[Story Spotlight]]s, but a series of cards represent the adventures of a [[party]] composed by {{card|Ellywick Tumblestrum||AFR|title=Ellywick}}, {{card|Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker||AFR|title=Hama}}, {{card|Nadaar, Selfless Paladin||AFR|title=Nadaar}} and {{card|Varis, Silverymoon Ranger||AFR|title=Varis}}.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/656486120518991872/who-are-the-characters-in-you-meet-at-a-tavern|July 12, 2021}}</ref> {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| *{{card|You Hear Something on Watch||AFR}} *{{card|You See a Guard Approach||AFR}} *{{card|You See a Pair of Goblins||AFR}} *{{card|Choose Your Weapon||AFR}} *{{card|You're Ambushed on the Road||AFR}} *{{card|You Come to a River||AFR}} *{{card|You Come to the Gnoll Camp||AFR}} *{{card|You Happen On a Glade||AFR}} *{{card|You Find the Villains' Lair||AFR}} *{{card|You Find Some Prisoners||AFR}} *{{card|You Find a Cursed Idol||AFR}} *{{card|You Meet in a Tavern||AFR}} }}
