The Forgotten Realms Anthologies are a series of short story collections set in the popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign world. Running from Realms of Valor (1993) to Realms of the Dead (2010), each volume gathers stories from multiple authors around a specific theme. Topics include magic, mystery, dragons, elves, war, and the underdark.

These anthologies gave many fantasy authors a chance to write in the Forgotten Realms setting and often explored corners of the world that full novels did not reach. Jean Rabe contributed to and edited several volumes in the series. For readers who want to sample Forgotten Realms fiction without committing to a full novel series, these anthologies are a good entry point.
