[QUOTE="Kraydak, post: 4002685, member: 12306"] Substantially, actually. It more or less originated there. [/QUOTE] Mystra whacks Cyric. Ao slaps Mystra. Magic changes without massive cataclysms (a weak spellplague would work here, but isn't required by any means). Given how problematic the ToT was, Ao decides to train Cyric's replacement(s?) for a long time. With Cyric's portfolios in abeyance, the Realms calm down. Nothing much happens (i.e. no RSEs) for the next century/centuries, over which the previously existing canon dies a natural death. Dragonborn originate from Spellcasters tapping perhaps unwisely into the pool of draconic magical power that got stripped from the dragons when they were updated to 4e (either directly or through their descendants). We pick things up when Cyric's replacements step on stage. You don't need to attack the Realms with a chainsaw to achieve the goals you list. In fact, I'd call doing so counterproductive in that it earns you nothing while angering some dedicated fans and stripping you of previously designed geography and regional tendencies. [/QUOTE]
