If the Forgotten Realms are forgotten, who forgot them? Certainly not the inhabitants. Is there a lore explanation for why the Forgotten Realms are forgotten?

I wondered this before myself, I found that wikipedia had most of my answers.




The Forgotten Realms is a fantasy world setting, described as a world
of strange lands, dangerous creatures, and mighty deities, where magic
and supernatural phenomena are quite real. The premise is that, long
ago, the Earth and the world of the Forgotten Realms were more closely
connected. As time passed, the inhabitants of planet Earth have mostly
forgotten about the existence of that other world – hence the name
Forgotten Realms.
