Abeir was given to the Primordials in the aftermath of the Dawn War by the overdeity Ao. However, there were so few Primordials left that their steeds, the dragons, overthrew them and claimed Abeir for themselves.
The idea of Alien Dragonborn could have been less ridiculous if they came to...
Thanks for the additional Dragonborn lore in the new book. (y)
I went to the Forgotten Realms wiki to check out its' entry on the Second Sundering and the First Tymanther-Unther War. The lore mentioned in both FR Wiki entries appears (to me) to be at odds with the lore @MonsterEnvy mentioned...
I am currently staying with 5e because my group is just wrapping up its' Tyranny of Dragons adventure. We've been playing this adventure for almost three years now. We've just started thinking of trying out something other than D&D. This morning, I chatted with my DM about us trying out RPGs...
I was wondering about your reference to a Sultana. Tymanther's government was led by a monarch/general known as the Vanquisher (a relative of Marvel's Punisher? :p) The Mharoti Empire in Midgard was ruled by the Half-Dragon Sultana.
Thank goodness, D&D exists in a multiverse. :p While WoTC decided to do this to this version of Tymanther, any DM can just ignore it in their version of the Forgotten Realms.
Is this what @Zeromaru X was trying to tell me when he said I wouldn't like how the new book is portraying the Dragonborn? Tymanther destroyed? The Dragonborn Diaspora?
It's cool. I have had a similar line of thinking when it came to Advanced 5e (aka Level Up) and 5e. I have thought of 5e as O5e. O as in Original. ;) R5e for 2024 D&D works for me.
