[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7681822, member: 6801060"] Well, as the timeline has moved forward quite significantly since the last real detail for the entire setting (passing over the 4e version, from which there will be massive changes as well), pretty much all the info we have is seriously outdated. The Western Heartlands (Baldur's Gate and inland) has also never really been covered in-depth. Sure, the region gets a decent overview in most of the campaign setting books, but other than the Volo's Guide, there has never been an actual volume that is solely focused on it. It tends, in each edition, to get light-to-medium coverage in the main setting book and then overlooked while other areas get much more detail. Also, this is the first setting book of the new edition. Of course it's going to cover the some of the most well-known regions of the setting (just like every one of the Campaign Settings before it). To do otherwise would make little logical or financial sense. They will hardly hook both new and old fans by saying, for example, "We're going to focus on the Western Shaar and Chondalwood over the rest of the setting in the first book!" In any case, the preface does say we will get at least a reasonable overview of the entire setting before the focus on the greater Sword Coast region. No doubt if it's a success, we'll start seeing other regions getting their own books as well... Veldorn was covered, in reasonable detail, along with Estagund and Var the Golden, in pages 109 - 123 of 2004's [i]The Shining South[/i]. [/QUOTE]
