I’m trying to find out more about the Far Realm and was wondering if any of you could give me some good sources of information (any D&D version). I know the obvious ones like The Manual of the Planes and Gazetteer II (the Green Maiden).

Thanks.

Lords Of Madness has stuff on the Far Realm, as does the Fiend Folio.

There was a recent Dragon mag (April 2005) with lots of info on this nightmarish place.

The Epic Level Handbook has a few monsters likely coming from there. Eberron has its counterpart to the Far Realms: Xoriat, the plane of madness. You might look in other books by Bruce Cordell, as there is a smattering of references to the Far Realms spread throughout his books. IIRC, one of the first mentions of the Far Realms came in the 2E adventure The Gates to Firestorm Peak. You might also look at the various Cthulu Mythos stuff that heavily influenced the creation of the Far Realms.

Thanks for your replies. Did the Far Realm ever get mentioned in any of the old 2nd Edition Planescape products?

You should check out the Dicefreaks and WotC Deities and Planes and Planescape boards.

Esp. this thread: Compilation of Far Realms material and these (Dicefreaks version of)Ilsensine, Patron Cosmic Entity of Illithids, (Dicefreaks take on the) Far Realms.

Planewalker.com also has lots of info on Illithids, Far realms etc.
