D&D 5E Chult: an island or a peninsula in 5e?

[Enevhar Aldarion]

If I use FR and the 5E rules for a game, then I am using the current state of the Realms, so for me it is a peninsula. The Realms are not static and everything advances and changes as time passes and I like that about it. Plus I have no interest in using an older, out of date version of the setting. I am sure there are plenty of settings out there where things have stayed static since the setting was originally written down and published for people that do not like change.

I use the latest updated version, and "our" map has not changed since 3rd Edition. You are right, they are not static, as players/DMs we make changes twice a month at the game table.

My point is, whatever you are using at the table is the "current" state of the Realms and is not "static". it has nothign to do with not liking change, we changed from 1e to 2e, and then to 3e. Its just the 4e changed sucked.

I can assure you that the map HAS changed since the 3rd edition. Look it up.

It's been confirmed that it's a peninsula.

Yes thank you. Now the bonus question - what happened to Tashalar. It was on that "connecting bit" of the peninsula. Is it none the worse for wear, or all flooded and destroyed?

Yes, that was my next question as well.

Tashalar isn't mentioned in the SCAG. It only mentions Thindol and Samarach. Thindol is, apparently, still infested with yuan-ti, while Samarach is cloaked by illusion magic, so no one knows what's going on there.

 

[CapnZapp]

Hmm... why wouldn't it be back?

If it's all "flooded and destroyed" then the 4E change actually HAS happened. That just means lots more follow-up questions... (even if they all have "because magic" as the reply )

Isn't the point of going back to the original geography to... well, go back to the original geography?

If it's actually a new geography, just one that kind of looks like the first one if you squint, that still means a lot of info is missing, and you can't use the FRCS because any given locality could have been "flooded and destroyed"... :/

You'll probably have to wait until Tomb of Annihilation for that information. :/

You'll probably have to wait until Tomb of Annihilation for that information. :/

If it's sufficiently far away from the edge of the map, there's no reason there will be any details...
