    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Except they are, the entry still refers to Hero, its that they just copied the SCAG and didn't do any research. Another example is Skuld. Calling it the longest continually occupied human city in Faerûn is taken straight from previous editions. Except it was in ruins in 4e, or at least part of...

    D&D General Does anyone else starting to feel like FR: HoF & FR: AiF were starved of resources because of the Core Books

    Like 1 Playtest that left out all the Spells and Feats, Backgrounds, and Faction Mechanic etc..., that should been playtest, not to mention they switched out one of the subclasses for one that was fameous for being mechanically unsatisfying with again no playtest. And then there are entries in...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    The SCAG was published November 2015, Hero was published in 2016 October. Yarin wasn't a thing before that. Which is to say its clear that they put Yarin into the SCAG to set the stage for Hero, its undoubtedly supporting the novel before it came out a year later, without spoiling the ending...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I misread that as TMNT get zapped back into the past in Icewind Dale. That place is no place for cold blooded folks.

    Only some of the latest novels, which is simply an over sight given these books have likely been in the works for years.

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I wouldn't skip Netheril, its a very interesting setting and will likely also explore time travel rules.

    I think you misunderstood me, I wasn't defending stealing artifacts, its morally wrong in most situations (the only exception is to keep them out of the hands of fanatics who will destroy them, so that such artifacts can be returned to their rightful nations when the fanatics are gone) cultures...

    You can steal the objects, you can't steal a cultural heritage with anything less then destroying the culture in question.

    No it covers the novels period, novels can't be decanonized.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Oh what Surpised me more then that they didn't cancel the Old Empire RW Gods, is that they had the brass ones TO MAKE THE OLD EMPIRES FEAT MULHORANDI TOMB RAIDER. They could have gone with Mulhorandi Archologist, or Mulhorandi Historian or Mulhorandi Lord Priest or zillion other things...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    That was none senseical completely, and a silly nonescenical blog post is never going to trumped by an actual legal contract with Ed Greenwood. The blog post was basically Chris Perkins covering for Jeremy Crawford and failing when FR fans flipped out over Jeremy saying there is no canon. Just...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    The novels are Canon, by contract. Enlil is likely not mentioned, but because the remnant Dragonborn cities are an after thought, with only the Capital getting a mention. They really had very limited room for such a huge setting, because they blew so much room on Faction Mechanics even FR...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Doesn't it drive you nuts who spell check has a monotheistic bias, you clearly were trying to say Enumeration of Gods plural, but the spell check got you. It used to do that to me, till I beat spellcheck defiantly into submission.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    They referred to Chessenta as worshipping Alien Gods & Demigods, then only really mention an example Tchazzar & Entropy. Traditionally Chessenta really worship a mix of Faerûn & Mulan Gods, Tchazzar being an extension of Tiamat & Entropy either being an extension of Shar or a Primordial that...

    Honestly in practice the faction system was a waste of space that could have gone to more lore or character options (like a Purple Dragon Knight Dragon Rider Feat).

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    I mean they are in Salvatore's novels, or at least Aevendrow are. All the big deal they made out of that and yet not a single mention of Aevendrow or Lorendrow and the term Udadrow isn't used either, and I can't find the Aevendrow's city either on the map, although there is a Drow City in...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Enlil managed to block the Sundering from teleporting two big Dragonborn cities to Abier. That is not nothing given that he had no time to build his power back up to were it was in ancient times. He's had at least decade to rebuild his worship in places like Chessenta, Messemprar, Dragonborn...

    The answer to both your questions is Divine intervention, Enlil, Nanna-Sin, and Selune. Notice in the art is the Air Genasi Chosen of Selune is in Messemprar.
