[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 3719324, member: 28105"] What I've gleaned from frequenting the [url=http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=905792]"Official" thread[/url] and the other threads in that forum: [list] [*]The Spellplague will begin in 1385. The official year of the 4E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book hasn't been announced yet, to my knowledge - but there will be at least a jump past the beginning of the Spellplague. I personally wouldn't be shocked to see a larger jump in time, considering that spellcasting being reworked will likely lead to a larger gap so that indigenous spellcasters can recover to some degree of efficiency. [*]Mention of the upcoming Cormyr: Tearing of the Weave has been made as a possible relation to the Spellplague. [*]The Spellplague will be an RSE (Realms Shaking Event) of a scope greater than the Time of Troubles. [*]The Spellplague is tied in with the death of Hallaster Blackcloak in the recent Undermountain adventure, saying that he was attempting to prevent it and "it went wrong". [*]Several other major NPC spellcasters are likely to share the same fate as Hallaster. I haven't seen any names specified from GenCon posts, though. [*]The Spellplague will not be addressed with a major novel line. However, the new Drizzt trilogy Salvatore has in the works (insert mandatory snide comment here) will deal with it at least in part.[/list] It's going to be a [b]huge[/b] change, by the sounds of it. I don't envy setting loyalists right about now. But hey, at least Realms players will get their core setting book in 2008. The next setting (95% likely to be Eberron) won't be released until 2009. I, personally, have no opinion on what direction to take since I've never set foot in the setting, but I'm happy to bring what information I can. ;) [/QUOTE]
