The Grand History of the Realms is the best overview of the unfolding events in the setting, but I'd also peek at Lost Empires of Faerun (and EG Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms for "where we've ended up" daily life minutae).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Forgotten Realms!! Thank you so much for this world! I’ve spent so so many hours enjoying the setting in DnD play and reading the novels. It has been, and continues to be, every day, a pleasure to work on the Realms. I've made friends all over the world who play in the Realms, read about it, and work on it both as fans and professionally; SO many great people! So, thank YOU. May the Realms shine forever!

Thank you so much!! I’ll grab these and dig in! I’ve loved being in your world and I appreciate you so much for creating it! My pleasure! And don't miss the in-depth conversations on Candlekeep about peoples and realms of the past! :}
