Speaking from the aforementioned locale, I would hypothesise it's more a case of Eberrwhat? I think D&D was at a particular low in the UK at the time Eberron came out, and it largely passed by unnoticed. I know I've had to do an awful lot of explaining for my planned UK Eberron campaign, but once I do explain it people have become quite excited.It's missing a U.
They think it should be Eberroun.

Your wrong about Eberron and your wrong about FR. Eberron is number 11 on the best seller rank on Amazon in the US and number 5 on the best seller rank in Canada. It's 135 in the UK, I don't know what the Brits have against Eberron.
Germany has it 1# best seller in fantasy fiction, but 74 in general.
When I decided to write an AP set in the Great Dale and eventually starring ... ahem, Myself ... I began by reading Grand History of the Realms, 3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, and 4e FRCG. To get an idea what plot hooks / events / NPCs / famous places I wanted to use or just mention. Then I built from there. I figure WotC will owe me for the chapter of new canon I am writing.WotC is not going to release a 5E book that updates the nation of Turmish until they have an adventure that takes place in Turmish. They don't care about the "up-to-date" canon of Turmish, and they've told us all this repeatedly so that we'd stop asking for up-to-date canon of Turmish.
As far as WotC is concerned... if you want to know what Turmish is about so you can run an adventure there, you have plenty of old Turmish material from the previous four editions which you can use for your adventure. They're not going to spend their limited precious hours inventing and writing up several hundreds years of Spellplagued and Sundered Turmish history to put into a giant Forgotten Realms encyclopedia... just for the six of you who think you have to have what Perkins, Crawford et. al. have decided what happened in Turmish, rather than just make up whatever you decide happened to it yourselves.
The SCAG is indeed terribly shite.Forgotten Realms: Rising from the Last Realms Shaking Event.
Okay the title is a tongue in cheek play on Eberron Rising from the Last War, but my point is a book like Eberron Rising From the Last War is the sort of book I've been asking for, but for the Forgotten Realms from WotC and given it's success I am hoping FR gets it's own version of a book with that function and size. Aka FRCG sort of book, but 5e style.

On the contrary... in my opinion Eberron won't "fade" because it won't actually build overwhelmingly in the first place. It will be played by the people who already play Eberron.
And by groups that play in homebrew worlds. And groups that use other wotc or 3pp settings and like things like Patrons, magical inventors, golem people, changelings, or even just running a game with common low level magic.
Because they were smart enough to actually make it just a setting book this time. It’s a guide to playing dnd games in the style of pulp adventure and gaslamp noir.
look again
The link is wrong (yeah, yeah, I know, but no joke. The OP in the link is mistaken. Notice how Greenwood doesn't confirm anything about DM's Guild). It's not by Greenwood, it's for 3.5, and it probably will be released just like Under Illefarn Anew did (hosted on Candlekeep, btw also by the same author). And being on DM's Guild doesn't make it canon, btw. Being released by WotC does.
Very clearly says it will be on DMSguild.
Victory! Link below has one of the author's confirming it is not by Greenwood, will not be in DM's Guild and is for 3.5eYou're right. I stand corrected.
It just not the impression one gets from the author when he talks about it on Candlekeep. It's a must have either way!
