[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6494101, member: 2518"] Guess again. Its not that the DM deviates from the Canon, it is that he deviates from it just so he can give the players exactly what they need and no other reason. Some people like this sugar coated gamestyle but I find it boring. Really funny considering that the point that Tiamat & Co still are completely "out of character" so to speak in the new realms as they, while they existed, where never very prominent, especially not to make them the huge threats displayed in the adventures still stands. And then there is of course the much quoted lore wreck about Tiamat being imprisoned which WotC copied from Eberron. And there is also the issue with the lore we have about the Sundering so far revolves around the gods becoming more distant and Ao personally putting them into place to stop all the chaos. And what is the first storyline? An attempt of summoning minor god directly into the Realms so that she can run rampant which is the complete opposite how gods should behave in 5E according to the sundering lore. [/QUOTE]
