What Is Faerun? Everything You Didn't Know | The D&D History Channel

Every road in Faerûn runs across a mass grave. Modern towns sit squarely on the rubble of older civilizations, salvaging what they can from cultures that vanished thousands of years ago. In this deep dive on The D&D History Channel, we examine the true physical geography, ancient history, and brutal urban survival of D&D's most famous continent. Civilization here has been sliding backward for four thousand years, hemmed in by brutal terrain and the fallout of ancient magical disasters. From the artificial expanse of the Anauroch Desert to the floating ruins of Netheril, modern life across the Sword Coast exists entirely on borrowed time and buried foundations. 📜 SUBSCRIBE & ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS to join us as we unearth the forgotten archives of Dungeons & Dragons lore. --- 00:00 - The Geography of Faerun 04:47 - The Faerun Calendar: Dale Reckoning (DR) 05:28 - The Days Of Thunder & The Sarrukh 06:03 - Early Elven Society 07:09 - Underground Dwarvern Civilization 08:10 - Like And Subscribe? 08:16 - Netheril & The Phaerimm 11:09 - Faerun's Greatest Disaster 13:11 - Cormanthor, Myth Drannor, & The Weeping War 14:14 - Waterdeep 15:29 - Baldur's Gate 16:30 - Athkatla 17:23 - Calimport 18:14 - Suzail 18:56 - Silverymoon 19:34 - Thay 20:34 - Mulhorand 21:24 - Conclusion --------------------------------------------------- 🏛️ ABOUT THE D&D HISTORY CHANNEL --------------------------------------------------- The D&D History Channel is dedicated to authoritative, scholarly deep dives into the lore, history, and geography of Dungeons & Dragons settings.
