Abeir-Toril

Toril (formerly Abeir-Toril) is the fictional planet that makes up the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, as well as the Al-Qadim and Maztica campaign settings, and the 1st edition version of the Oriental Adventures campaign setting. It is the default world for the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

The name means "cradle of life" in an archaic fictional language of the setting. It consists of various continents and islands, including Faerûn, Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Maztica, Osse, Anchorome and Katashaka, a sub-Saharan-like continent south of Maztica, where humanity appeared. Toril was originally the name of game designer Jeff Grubb's personal campaign world before part of it was merged with creator Ed Greenwood's Forgotten Realms setting.
