According to the book's description, Worlds & Realms: Adventures from Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond features many of the lands seen in all five editions of Dungeons & Dragons and its expansions across its 368 pages. Each chapter offers history and lore tidbits about the featured realm--however, instead of reading like a traditional D&D sourcebook, these insights are delivered by the mage Mordenkainen, giving readers an in-universe "mage’s-eye view of [each realm's] unique features, creatures, and characters."

Along with the mage's musings, you'll find short stories set in these various realms written by award-winning D&D writers like Jaleigh Johnson, Jody Houser, Eric Campbell, Jasmine Bhullar, and Geoffrey Golden. The book's lore dumps and short stories are accompanied by artwork from every edition of D&D, including all-new original illustrations that open each chapter.
