Anatomy of an Apocalypse

[Desdichado]

Gah. Got lost about halfway through the first part and quit.

Granted, I'm not much of a "Realms scholar."

 

[Arashi Ravenblade]

Very Interesting.
However, where exactly did you run into it?

So there you go: it's a fan article from Candlekeep written by Jared Rascher (apparently response to the Grand History of the Realms info.)

Myth? Busted.

It's fan made, and an attempt at squaring some of the utter insanity pumped out by WOTC with something resembling a reasoned plot. Some bits work better then others.

Myth? Busted.

But nothing exploded.

But nothing exploded.

I deny your reality and substitute my own! I say it DID explode!

 

[Arashi Ravenblade]

I was almost believing it was legit until the whole time travel stuff.
Alot of it seemed probable though.

It includes time travel. That's one of the worst McGuffins you can ever use, IMHO. Sheesh. Didn't we learn anything from Timecop?

It is someone's attempt to retcon the 4e changes to the 4e FR setting so it makes sense to them.
