D&D 5E The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

As revealed by Nerd Immersion by deciphering computer code from D&D Beyond!

Spoiler

Fizban the Fabulous is, of course, the accident-prone, befuddled alter-ego of Dragonlance’s god of good dragons, Paladine, the platinum dragon (Dragonlance’s version of Bahamut).

Which makes my guess earlier this year spot on!

UPDATE -- the book now has a description!

D&D 5E - My guess for the other D&D book this year... Draconomicon!

We know the fifth major product this year will be James Wyatt‘s as-yet unannounced project, and we know it will be coming out this year between Witchlight and Strixhaven. Wyatt co-wrote the Draconomicon for 3E. There have been two recent dragon-themed Unearthed Arcanas — dragon-themed...

Looks like we're going to get more coverage of gem dragons here than ever before, which I'm very happy about...

I wonder what they will do with Saridor.
They probably save him as a "surprise", considering they have not mentioned him yet.

They really need to come up with an interesting hook for him. Maybe reveal that he's been some major NPC in disguise all along.

So, that's 16 candidates now. Those last four intrigue me...

I'm assuming dracoliches and shadow dragons take up two slots, leaving two for something new?

I hope they give him a point beyond gem dragon god as he is so dull.

It's surprising to me that the thing I'm most curious about with regards to this new book is the "First World".

The video mentions that they've looked at lore from previous editions concerning the First World. I'm curious what they're talking about here. I'm not aware of anything from any prior edition explicitly referencing a "First World". The closest I can guess with the references to it being a chaotic place is that maybe this is a means to fold in the 4th Edition Dawn War origin story, but it's talking about primordial gods, not gods vs primordials, so IDK.

Not really so much "dull" as "hasn't really been explored beyond his name and very brief overview". They definitely have room to give him a real personality here!

Bringing in the Dawn War as the origin story would be neat. Slap PoLand / Nentir Vale in there and we’re off to the races.

I dunno, those are templates to add on to living Dragon types...

In one of the previews it mentions that Saridor is the first creation of Tiamat and Bahamut. So I imagine we are finally getting some lore it.
