[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 6911910, member: 40810"] Indeed. It's the novels way of acknowledging that the APs happened or are still happening somewhere while telling their own stories in the forefront (like the Drizzt novels handling all of ToD in just a couple of sentences). Just like that pointless scene with the cloud giant clans that was also totally unimportant to the plot of Death Masks and only there to tell us that yes, SKT is happening right now too Also note that Mordenkainen & Co have been part of the realms canon for decades. Elminster used to regularly meet with him (and archmages from Krynn and other D&D worlds) to share spells and good food Personally I don't see that many groundwork for the farther realms laid out in this book, hardly anything what happened there has much impact beyond Waterdeep. Waterdeep however has been moved a large step backward to it's pre-4e incarnation, which almost all new districts that were created in the last 100 years destroyed one way or annother. A shame, I thought Mistshore was a really interesting district [/QUOTE]
