eya!

Im lookin for a book where there is info about Sembia and Kormyr. I cant find any V3 or 3.5 books, other than Campaign settings, describing those parts of faerun.:(
If you dont know any newer books, I could use old advanced D&D, if u know some, wher there are Sembia Details.

Hope there are someone out ther who can help:)
Thanx!

There really isn't a lot out there for Sembia, even in prior editions. For Cormyr, I'd suggest starting with Volo's Guide to Cormyr (2nd edition). It's more flavor than rules, though.

dang!!

thanks for repling, I guess I have to do with the few pages from campaign settings

have found a few volos books, and in lack of newer stuff they are great, actually a bit more into detail in some areas... But I had hoped ther was some Sembia stuff, starting my next campaings in that area.

I think there were some small things on Sembia (the Dragon Reach generally) in the 2nd Edition "Forgotten Realms Adventures" book also... but I haven't looked at it in a while. Mostly, if memory serves, these are city maps (for Marsember, Suzail, Ordulin, Daerlun, Urmlaspyr... not really available elsewhere) and a few details on NPC inhabitants throughout the region. But it's all 2nd Edition.

One of the Candlekeepers could probably give more details, or think of other Sembia sources.

Sadly, all that Erevis Cale stuff, too. I'm not really sure what the Geography of Sembia will look like at the end of book 3, so you can understand my consternation when one of the PC's arrived in Sembia ON the day of the Shadowstorm with absolutely NO information. (Thank you, wizards, for delaying Mr. Kemp's novels so much that I have to trap the PC's in Yhaunn for a YEAR!)
