[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8505912, member: 7030526"] Okay so here the deal. 1. Vaasa and Damara were the only bloodstone Lands added to FR, Impitur was from Ed. 2. Moonshae are mentioned in a variety of products, including the SCAG. And yes it was not Ed's origin version of the Moonshaes, those got replaced by TSR UK's version which had originally was intended to a seperate setting. Different editions try different ways to integrate Moonshae religion with Faerun religion. 3. Unther, Mulhorand, and Chessenta are not the original versions from Ed's home setting. In the Grey ox they were little more then names. Then Desert of Desolution came out and TSR decided to place it into the Forgotten Realms and this had huge implications for FR. Mulhorand, Unther, and Chessenta were radically changed from Ed's vision for a Conan style region, into Fantasy Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece, to fit Desert of Desolation into FR. This lead to the Old Kingdoms regional book there not only detailed the region, it's integrated the history of the Old Kingdoms with the Eastern half of FR. 4. Kara Tur was added to FR in a Kara Tur Campaign Settng Guide, it wasn't originally part of FR. The most surprising part of this is it added Hinduism to the Forgotten Realms. 5. Jeff Grubbs and those working with him added Maztica and Zakhara and Realmspace. 6. Parts Abeir, although Returned Abeir was actually done by Ed himself. 7. The FR Shadowfell and Feywild are from 4e and 5e mostly, but they absorbed alot of preexisting lore such as Faerie and the Plane of Shadow. 8. The Cosmology of some editions added afterlives that other folks come up with. 9. Other writers added various demiplanes, like the Celestial Nadar added by Bruce Cordell I believe. [/QUOTE]
