You are sitting in a tavern. The mighty Wizards of the Coast bestow upon
you their greatest treasures: Forgotten Realms: The Archives - long lost relics
of an RPG renaissance that changed the face of gaming forever. Today, one of the
forgotten grails of gaming history is within your grasp, should you travel to a

Eye of the Beholder, Pool of Radiance, Menzoberranzan - the list of
groundbreaking RPG classics goes on. We set out on the quest for Forgotten
Realms: The Archives a long time ago, and though it was a perilous journey -
after years of searching, huge help from our friends at Hasbro and Wizards of
The Coast, as well as months of technical work - we get to be freaking excited
to sit here and say:
