Also, AFAIK, Tyranny of Dragons mostly stays in the Sword Coast, just like the Elemental Evil is going to (according to what I've read, at least).Also, that format for FR lore is very restrictive, it's pricy (and it's not even the focus or a big part of the books, more like a side bar), it comes off in a very rigid mega-campaign structure, is quite railroady, doesn't give tool to create one's own story in any desired part of FR and scatters the little new info about the setting among many books/articles (making the process of gathering lore much more tedious and harder).And before ''use your old sources!!'',  if WotC doesn't want to put out a FRCS, they should at least do a broad update for the various aspect of the setting (regions/organizations/pantheons) and then refer to the 3e FRCS for more details (since they've said that they're making the FR look much more it was in 3e). A unified ''source'' that all people can refer to is only logical, after they had the FR go through so many huge cataclysms. Also, Ed has been writing tons of lore on the post Sundering FR, it would be nice to have it published in some form -and the module format simply doesn't cut it</blockquote>
