PREFIX: This is not an all encompassing guide to Faerun. It is a handout (as stated by the author) to give you broad strokes as to some major locations.
Perfect for what I was after. I've got a whole bookshelf full of things on the realms.... that my players are never even going to read the back covers of let alone the contents. Instead of asking them to read something like the SCAG or Grand History of the Realms (both fantastic) this succinctly, and stylishly gets across the basics of all of Faerun in an easy handout. It's 14 pages of actual content isn't super dence, which I like, and is laid out quite nicely. Couple this with "The Council of Waterdeep" for info on the factions, and you have a GREAT primer for players who, although may be somewhat familiar with the realms, might need a quick refresher on Faerun.
