I mean,Tyranny of Dragons does actually detail a hoard collected by a cult to summon Tiamat, it is shiny and newly collected.

Yeah, and I wouldn't necessarily expect to see the Advenfure and BG3 material reprinted, just the Vampire PC stuff.

Yeah, I think Dark Sun in 320 pages in a format similar to combining the two FR books would be plenty.

Being thin is soet of an advantage, leaves it open for repurposing.

I do feel the character options presented would be perfect for a "Forge of the Artificer" style Ravenloft book. The Gothic Dark Fantasy vibes are strong.

Or bowling an Uncle's old timey Lost Mines of Phandelver Set, or playing at one of the schol clubs WotC has been fitting out with Beyond...

The book does contain a lot of potent magic items, including off the wall weapons, worth looking at if you have it.

There does seem to be a section about Returned Netheril...so the Shades being treated as 2024 NPCs seems likely.

Oh, also, what resources can you draw on? Fizban's Treasury of Dragons has a lot of material that would fit this this to a T, bot Draconic items and dragon hoard special magic rules, and Book of Many Things has some fabulous potent magic items. The Dexk of Many Things itself would be pretty funny.

So, what are the deets?

Axe of the Dwarvish Lords is always fun. Who is the BBEG? What are the details of the Revolution brewing? Would Orbs of Dragonkind contribute to fueling the confluct? Who are your players characters? Are there any signature items that would turbocharged each one, like a Vorpal Halberd?

Fair take all around. It is a very "Old School" Sci-Fi story. The novel had one of the more fun tie-in ephemera at the time of release, they actually made the Msth monk music:

OK, a little digging suggests that the formal answer ia that the Sea of Fallen Stars developed salinity in a similar manner to the Caspian Sea over millenia. Water flows in, but the only way it gets out is evaporation, so over time minerals build up.

The gods? A portal to the Plane of Water?

After 3E, Call of Cthulu d20.
