I very strongly doubt you become the ruler of the entire Forgotten Realms, the Sword Coast... maybe. The entire realms? Not bloody likely. There are way too many extremely high level and powerful NPCs in the realms for that to happen.
Also, Faerûn is but one world of many on the Prime Material Plane...
Swen's words, not mine. He was describing his latest Dark Urge ending where he finished with a party of Shadowheart, Lae'zel, and Minthara, and at the end he added "oh and I'm now the ruler of the forgotten realms so you can call me Sir".
