Having gone a bit over the article again, I see two pretty explocot references to prior 5E Campaigns:

Dougan's Hole: A desolate town full of cursed inhabitants.

This town was desolate and left cursed in Rine of the Frost Maiden, so...seems there might be an echo of these events here

Maelstrom: Ship-swallowing whirlpool that leads to a storm-giant fortress carved into a reef below the waves.

This is the Hold of the Storm Giant King from Storm King's Thunder:

Taking another look at this: I see that there is a Spirot Dragon flying East over the Forgotten Lands, and it strikes me that there is a major thing that could tie the Forgotten Lands of the early 16th century DR together that is different from the OG Grey Box era (other than the ancient fallen Nar empire): the "modern" Sword Coast has been shown to have a large presence of Shou people from Kara'Tur, and the path for coming into Faerûn from Kara-Tur? Happens to be precisely this region. So we might see some Asian-inspited fusion going on there, due to a century and a half of new trade routes and migration.

I would LOVE that!!
