Cormyr

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Cormyr —also called the Forest Kingdom or the Forest Country, and on some old maps the Land of the Purple Dragon— lies north of the Dragonmere and south of Anauroch, between the Storm Horns and the Thunder Peaks.

Cormyr is, for the most part, a pretty standard feudal “castles and knights” kind of kingdom, with frontiers that are still untamed wilderness filled with monsters and noble courts which provide a different sort of untamed monsters.

Citizens of Cormyr are referred to as Cormyrean or Cormyrian, or (informal) Cormyte.

  1. Honor shmonor, you do great work! I’ve corrected the Sites & Sights link… my bad.

    I’m glad to hear that you’ll be uploading your stuff. Hope you don’t mind if I try to keep sending some readers in your direction?

    Regarding this index, WordPress has removed the toolbar on the direct-html editing tab, which I use for links and because the visual-editor totally mucks up the html. (I’m a snob about coding; I can’t help it!) So I’m kinda backing off from posting here for a little bit while I look for a solution, but I haven’t given up yet.

    You may not have the same challenge I have, and I think I love everything else about WordPress, so hopefully your experience is positive too!

    • Oh I don’t mind at all if you send readers my way.

      In fact I could really use the help now that I am prohibited from posting at Candlekeep.

      Thanks also for the encouragement regarding WordPress. Your success at building a useful reference blog motivated me to give it a go.

  2. I didn’t realize you’d linked to my material at Candlekeep. It’s an honor to be included in your Index.

    I also noticed you’ve got the Unique Sites & Sights thread listed as Sights & Sounds.

    I am creating my own WordPress Blog to host my material. It’s my hope to model it after your style.
