Since 3.0 and 3.5, WotC has not spent a lot of time on regional books on “the Heartlands,” e.g. Cormyr, the Dalelands, etc. They have published books on the North, on the Unapproachable East and have forthcoming books on the Shinning South and the Serpent Kingdoms. Publishing a book on Mulhorand, Unther and Chessenta would follow this pattern, while a book on past civilizations of central Faerûn would break this pattern in terms of both geography and time-line.2.Traditionally, Mulhorand, Unther and Chessenta are refered to as the “Old Empires.” It is not much of a jump from “Old Empires” to “Ancient Empires.”3. The “Old Empires” have not had any updates, aside from the section in 3.0 FR book, since the early 1990s. Further, as of 3.0 Mulhorand has effectively annihilated Unther, flat-out conquering 75 percent of that country and leaving the rest in shambles. As such, both Mulhorand and Unther are going through massive changes on every level. The city-states Chessenta are always after each other like a bucket full of angry lobsters. Not only is the region due a book, but recent events there warrant a book.4. There have only been a few empires ever to control the Heartlands, such as Netheril, Calimshan and Cormanthyr. Of the three, only Cormanthyr was ever in the Heartlands – Netheril and Calimshan were located elsewhere and simply spread out.</blockquote>
