That could be it, potentially! Szass Tam is mentioned often, although I assumed he would be anyways. Good idea!!

Nope, just the section in Arcane Empires, and the section about the Red Wizards faction.

Perhaps! I'm not sure. I find it weird that they never explained it in the book though, you'd think they'd want that lore to be readily available.

It does not. I reread that section to make sure, but it doesn't mention anything catastrophic in that section.

Having read the section in Heroes of Faerûn about the Red Wizards, I have a question: what happened to Thay that requires reconstruction? It mentions that Thay needs help rebuilding, but the gazeteer doesn't mention why. Am I missing something?

A pumpkin blight would be SO COOL!! More blights!!

TERRIFYING.

Unsure if blights have been mentioned, but I find them creepy and fun!! I love how the vine blight can speak short sentences, which is spooky, and I also love that the new MM has more blights to play with, like the Gulthias blight!! I also keep using vampires as villains, over and over again. I...

It's a section on advice for dealing with the abundance of Forgotten Realms lore that exists, including a subsection on Experts At the Table: players who know a lot about the setting, and how to best deal with that while writing and running stories in Faerûn. It's honestly kinda handy!

That makes sense! And I look forward to seeing those phaerimm. Thanks!!

There's extensive references to the Shadovar in the books, and yet no stat blocks for them. I wonder if they'll be among the monsters included in Netheril's Fall? I also hope that supplement has beefier phaerimm in it!

So the Mulhorandi gods still share the names of the IRL Egyptian pantheon, for those who were wondering that! (I think it was this thread that was discussing that.) The section in Heroes of Faerûn about it mentions "gods with names like Anhur, Horus-Re, and Set". It goes into detail about more...

I picked up the books! The aranea, beast of Malar, and swanmay were pleasant surprises to return! I am a teeny little disappointed about no saurials, though...

I love the analysis!! Math is not my strong suit, so every time I see people on here doing analysis like this, it blows me away! Also, I recall a post WoTC made promoting weapons mastery properties before the new PHB came out. It said something like "Rangers can now use sap!" and I recall...

November 11th for the traditional release, and Oct. 28th for the FLGS early release!!

I didn't know that! Thank you so much!

That makes total sense! I knew that about Sembia, but the Shadovar aspect is neat!! Thank you, I'm excited to find out what they did with the Shadovar!

Interesting that Battledale was apparently attacked by "Sembians and their Shadovar allies". Is that a new development?
