Just focus on the Al-Qadim that you know and ignore the rest of the FR which might officially be on the same planet as Zahkara but doesn't really seem to have much of an effect on it. Just write your adventures and supplements as if it's NOT in the Realms. You'll be fine.The DM's Guild pretty clearly allows for a lot of leeway in what you write and make. I'm pretty sure I've read several times in which folks from WotC have said that if you write an adventure generic enough to be placed in the Realms, even if it doesn't explicitly actually reference the Realms in any way (as long as it doesn't reference OTHER WotC properties) its fine. The fact that they're explicitly saying Zakhara, Maztika, and Kara-Tur are considered part of the Realms seems pretty clearly to me to just be a way for them to say "sure, go nuts with those." I genuinely don't think there's anything you need to worry about here. If someone else wants to make something in Zakhara that more explicitly places it in the Realms that's fine, but if you want to make your own stuff that _doesn't_ and just focuses on Al-Qadim without any acknowledgment of any of the rest of the Realms, that's cool too. You can write that. I would in fact encourage you to do just that!</blockquote>
