From the bitter, windswept steppes of the Endless Waste to the storm-lashed cliffs of the Sword Coast stretches a wide, wild land of shining kingdoms and primal wilderness, Faerun is only one continent of the world known as Toril. Other lands lie in distant corners of the world, but Faerun is the centre of it all, the crossroads and crux upon which all else turns. Dozens of nations, hundreds of city-states, and countless tribes, villages, and settlements dot its expanse.


The continent of Faerun is a landmass of approximately nine and a half million square miles, located mainly in the northern hemisphere of the world of Toril. Sub-arctic extremes chill its northern reaches, where ice sheets like the Great Glacier dominate the landscape in blinding white. To the south are the equatorial jungles of Chult and the tropical coasts of Halruaa. It’s bordered on the west by the Trackless Sea and on the east by the Endless Wastes and the Hordelands that separate it from Kara-Tur.



Faerun is an open land full of kingdoms and empires, large and small, and scattered city-states and villages struggling to make their way in a landscape that can be unforgiving wilderness one mile and cosmopolitan city the next.

Countless millions of humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and other sentient beings call Faerun home. It is a land of magic and intrigue, cruel violence and divine compassion, where gods have ascended and died, and millennia of warfare and conquests have shaped dozens of unique cultures.

In order to get the best possible experience from playing The King of Shadows the following are the key points to note:

• Resource Pack - use the resource pack included in the download (when downloaded from our site)
  
• Single/Multi Player - ensure cheats are enabled if playing a single game and all players are OP'd if playing in multi-player
  
• Game Settings - when you press the button at the start it sets all of these for you
  

To allow all of the features in the game to work, portals, signs etc you will need to be either opped if playing a multi-player game or switch to LAN and cheats enabled if playing a single player game. If you don't do this the quest system and other key features of the map will not work. In other words, if you don't do this you might as well stop playing the adventure!
