I bought at launch The Forgotten Realms books and I enjoyed its content. Yet, there is one thing bugging me enough to make a Thread; Toril.
I was pondering where the Shou people come from and after some research, it came from outside the present Atlas on dndbeyond.
I was using Eberron, then I was pondering about airships in the forgotten Realms and it is said to come mostly from Halruaa. Not on the Atlas.
I was pondering about a bunch of other things within Toril...
The World map is not a world map, but Faerun. I thought Faerun was the planet, but is a Continent.
I need the Toril official world map. I write this down to see if there could be enough interests over the community for Dndbeyond.com to notice a viability interest for its team to make it happen! I imagine a Googlemap design, where you may move the globe and see its continents and be able to use it for your campaigns within Forgotten Realms.
Thank you for the reply, and yes, I am aware older editions hold such prize information, which I found a third party website holding Toril's entire map alongside many of its key cities. Yet, it would be so enjoyable to carry Toril's lores into the newest version, which would probably be a nightmarish logistical mess... Yet, I put it up there, rarely will my post be hooked into the developers's gaze, but if I do not try, I will never know!
Unfortunately, a 3rd edition map won't be correct anyway, because during the spellplague significant geographic areas swapped between Abeir and Toril (second sundering seems to have reverted much of that, but there's still a lot of inconsistencies).
We do not have a full map of Abeir-Toril, or even know if Abeir-Toril is still a thing, becayse the "Second sundering" is often treated as a reset or "that never happened in this timeline" for a lot of events.
You are going to have to make a call if you are playing pure Toril or Post Spell-plague Abeir-Toril. NeverWinterOnline is set in a Post Spellplague Abeir-Toril so if you want maps for the world, you can look there, but they don't go far afeild from the Sword Coast.

Ah, but you forget, 5e reversed those changes and re-separated Abeir and Toril and the second sundering also reversed a lot of the deaths that the first sundering (4e) inflicted.
I don't have the link handy, but there are some really good maps available online that show the entire world. The one I use is 1GB in size and zoomable.

While true, there's leftovers, such as the Dragonborn, the Feywild, and the Shadowfell, none of which existed in 3e.

AFAIK the entire world map hasn't been printed since 3rd edition.

Playing D&D since 1982
Have played every version of the game since Basic (original Red Box Set), except that abomination sometimes called 4e.
