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


At a Glance

The Raurin is a desert east of Faerûn, west of Kara-Tur, and north of Zakhara. It is widely considered, among sages, to be the birthplace of the first human empire in the Forgotten Realms: Imaskar, still remembered in crumbling history books as a cruel land of wizardry and dark lore. The Great Kingdom of Raurin once thrived here, before its destruction more than 3500 years ago.
