I have a question. Currently are there any FR novels set in Kara-Tur, Maztica, Zakhara, or any other remote place on Toril? |

You know, I always wondered about those characters, and why we never saw them anywhere else...
Yeah -- I always wondered what became of them too.
Sigh, remember when the problem with AD&D was that they were throwing out TOO MANY great ideas? Maztica and the kingdoms north of it, Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur... |

"Choose Your Own Adventure" and "Fighting Fantasy" were among some of my favorite variable-ending books when I was a child. I only ever read a few of the "Endless Quest" books, including the Zakharan one.
As for proper brand-title AQ novels however... a novel line was discussed as I recall, similar in style to what was done with the RAVENLOFT books -- a seres of stand-alone novels.

A few of them showed up as NPCs in Test of the Samurai and Ronin Challenge . . . |

I miss my choose your own adventure books. :( I had some pretty good ones. But I don't think they were TSR ones. |

Not entirely true.
While there is no specific FR series of novels based in Zakhara, the Al-Qadim line did allow for AQ novels taking place in the Land of Fate.
See nobleknight.com for copies of several of the AQ novels.
There were Al-Qadim novels? I was unaware of that...
As was I. I never heard of any Al-Qadim novels.
They were the combat-game books -- part story, part game. Not proper novels:- Secret of the Djinn

Links, links, links

There are no current FR novels featuring Kara-Tur, Maztica, or Zakhara. However, there have been past FR novels featuring stories set in both Kara-Tur and Maztica.
Empires Trilogy -- for Kara-Tur
- Horselords
- Dragonwall
- Crusade
Maztica Trilogy -- for Maztica
- Ironhelm
- Viperhand
- Feathered Dragon
As well, The Yellow Silk, a novel from the FIGHTERS series features a character from Kara-Tur (Shou Lung in fact) and offers bits and pieces of Kara-Turan lore.

The first book in the Empires Trilogy is in the Hordelands (which is kinda treated like a seperate sub-continent between Kara-Tur and Faerun), the second book in the Empires Trilogy is in Kara-Tur
The Maztica novel trilogy (can't remember the trilogy's name) is based of course in Maztica
There is no novel trilogy based in Zakhara
the novel "Faces of Deception" is roughly somewhere in the Hordelands/Kara-Tur
in the "Cloakmaster" series of novels (the Spelljammer novel series) there is a bit of Realms lore in that spelljamming port-island near Evermeet
hope that helps |
