Gaming is fun, and fun is for everyone
I think @Parmandur and @Prakriti are probably right here, I just have two things...
One, do we actually know that the four adventures in the Wildemount book are not the "anthology" that Welch was editing? Any confirmation at all? Because I wouldn't be surprised if those adventures include one written by Marisha Ray (Mercer's wife) and DOA.
Second, where do gem dragons fit into these theories? I could see one gem dragon type (sapphire) fitting into almost any book, but there was a confirmation on Dragon Talk that all gem dragons (and by all I assume 5 types to match Chrom/Metallic) would get stats. I can only see that being released in a setting book, or more general player's/monster book (like Volo's or Mordenkainen's).
