Does any one have any info on Anauria ("kingdom" that arose after Netheril's fall) or be able to point me to some reference books? I'm ceating a campaign that has to do with the Crypts of the Six (see Najara in the 4E FRCG).

-Your best bet would probably be Netheril: Empire of Magic, Lost Empires of Faerûn, A Grand History of the Realms.

FR13 Anauroch also has a little info as well.

-Oh, and Netheril: Empire of Magic can be downloaded for free from the WotC site as a .PDF file, if you have the inclination to do so.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip Lord Karsus. Also, thanks to both you and Old Sage for all of the reference books. I was thinking about getting A Grand History of the Realms, the other material will add greatly to my research.

I wasn't sure how obscure the info would be for Anauroch (was thinking I might have to make a buch of it up), sounds like there is a decent amount of info to glean. The thing that I love about the Crypt of the Six is that you have to travel through the Abyss to get to it (according to the FRCG). The campaign is going to 30th level (we've just run the first session, e.g., the PCs are at 1st level) so there's time to explore all of the reference books you've given me.

-Well, there's plenty of information to be had, in all of those sources. The novel The Parched Sea took place in the Anauroch, if you want to go into a tangent there. That was a pretty good novel.

OK, I'll check it out.

MarkusTay63, thanks for the map! Where did it originate from?

It was an insert on the much larger Anauroch map, that came with the 2e product of the same name.

Is that the "...FR13 Anauroch..." product that Old Sage was talking about (see above post)?

It is, yes.
