Despite the variety of settings explored throughout Dungeons & Dragons lore, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' decision to pick the Forgotten Realms as its primary setting was the correct one. Thanks to the Forgotten Realms being perhaps the most famous campaign setting in the TTRPG, Honor Among Thieves can easily pick almost any source material and build their story from here. And this is exactly what the film does: use the backdrop of the Forgotten Realms to create a riveting personal story that evolves into a hero’s journey.
