How does 10 out of 120 equal "most"?    Are you talking about anything in specific? Because I haven't seen anything about demons running rampant. Monsters popping out of the Changling Lands and similar areas? Sure. But then again, random monsters have always run rampant through every D&D world. The Realms has been no exception to that. However, random monsters is different then demons running rampant.    It did go berserk, but it settled down something like 80 years prior. Magic has been pretty stable for decades in the Realms, now.    Maps are always getting redrawn.    What constitutes "most"? Because from what they've shown, that's now the case. Sespech and Chondath are pretty much done for, as is Unther. But most of Faerun has come out of the Spellplague pretty much alright, not just the big countries.    How "points of lightish" is the 4E Realms, to be honest? We've got Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, the Sword Coast, the Silver Marches, and the friendly Orc Kingdom of Many-Arrows to the west. We've got the resurrected Netheril to the north. Imperial Cormyr and Sembia. The Dalelands are still chugging along, as always. There's a resurrected Myth Drannor in Cormanthor. Thay is still there. Unther was replaced by a stronger nation. Amn is still doing alright. When you got a continent packed full of mighty city-states and nations, it hardly fits the mold of the "Points of Light" concept.    Once again, how does 10 out of 120 equal most?    You do realize, right, that half of Faerun is descended from non-natives? They came from other worlds. Hell, the people from Unther and Mulhorand are originally from Earth! At least one of the two breeds of Orcs on Faerun is also from another world, and they also appeared in Faerun in that very same region. That part of Faerun has a long history of dragging people from other worlds into Faerun. The Dragonborn are only the latest examples.    ...Tieflings were right there in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. They've BEEN a player race since the beginning of 3rd edition!</blockquote>
