I'm going to assume the Elder Elemental plot is going to continue on so I would like to discuss it here, specifically Ghaunadaur and Tharizdun.
Now Ghaunadaur is referred to as the Elemental Eye and it wasn't long ago that he rose to become a greater deity, left the drow pantheon, and created his own divine realm in pandemonium. He was considered old even before Ao's time. He is, and has been, an active part of the Realms for many years now. It is said that he even has a connection with Tharizdun. Now I would assume this whole plot would revolve around Ghaunadaur because it seems like it would be the best candidate.
However, knowing WoTc and how they operate, I will be it's going to be about Tharizdun because they really propped him up back in 4th edition. I also think they will bring over his association with the Abyss from 4th edition's Points if Light and force it, and him, into the Realms instead of using Ghaunadaur who already has fully established lore, risen power, and who makes a hell of a lot more sense.
