Originally a stand alone campaign setting, by 1988 TSR had combined it with the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. In that year they released a boxed set with 2 books detailing the campaign setting & maps.
In 1989 they did a printing of Trail Maps for Kara-Tur.
In 1990 the maps were again included in the Forgotten Realms Atlas. Later that year they gave the monsters for Kara-Tur a proper treatment for Second Edition Dungeons & Dragons in the Monsterous Compendium series.
After 1990 Kara-Tur was a mostly discarded campaign setting. With only a few mentions in cross-over products such as Spelljammer & Ravenloft, plus a few mentions in other Forgotten Realms products & Dragon Magazine articles.
With the release of Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons with new owners, Wizards of the Coast decided to do a proper treatement for Oriental Adventres. All new character classes, monsters, spells, weapons & feats, but this time with the campaign world being Rokugan the campagn setting for Legend of the Five Rings.
