Forgotten Realms
Although the Realms were yet to be an official campaign world, the module "H1: Bloodstone Pass", released in 1985 by TSR, is now considered to be a part of the Forgotten Realms, although it wasn't until module H3 "The Bloodstone Wars" was released that Forgotten Realms became the official setting for the module series. The first official Forgotten Realms product was Douglas Niles's "Darkwalker on Moonshae", the first book in "The Moonshae Trilogy", which predates the "Forgotten Realms Campaign Set" by one month.
