Does anyone have a resource of a PDF (or other electronic format) of the post-spellplague realms?

| Huh, wonderful how the mountain chains just moved in some cases. Like the Storm Horns no longer block the way westward for Cormyr, just in time for them to expand westward. =p |

| Perhaps you're misreading something Artemel. The Stormhorns are still in the same location they always were. |

Not misreading anything. The south end of the Storm Horns used to go right to the edge of the sea. So, the only easy way west out of Cormyr (like, let's say for a marching army), was through the gap farther north, past High Horn and such.
Now... there is a plains area between the south end of the Storm Horns and the sea. So, now, they just marched an army west from Suzail if they wanted, and I suppose they did from what I gleaned from $e. |

Keep in mind that in the Shattered Realms, the Sea of Fallen Stars is smaller than it used to be. It partially drained away. That would explain the plain you refer to, without the mountains being relocated. |

The Stormhorns still go right up to sea. The poster map that was included in the FRCG is more artistic than accurate (which is unfortunate, yes). May I recommend you take a look at the map included in this article Artemel, for a more accurate depiction of Cormyr's environs.

| So, it's all because the sea receded that an easier avenue west (south-west really) appeared? Wunderbar. Well... that's still better than most other Shattered Realms reasons. |

| Bad time to mention that the sea receded because the Spellplague caused the ground to collapse into the Underdark, leading the Inner Sea to drain into the new 'hole in the ground'. It's also the home of the Aboleth Sovereignty. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.
