Adventurer
Nobody new to the game cares about FR because wotc has done a terrible job of describing and communicating basic aspects of the setting. The Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide is too short, too slipshod and too half-assed with new developments in the setting like the Spellplague, Dragonborn, etc. The rest of the information is scattered across many books and often in compendia that address multiple D&D universes. Even with all official 5e content in mind it hardly paints a complete or even helpful picture of the setting. Your best bet is to use previous editions' lore material or a fan wiki. It's no wonder homebrewing is ever more popular, it's easier to start anew than try to parse such confusingly dispersed world information.Or is it just that nobody cares anymore about FR, and similar to Critical Role, its better everyone builds their own world and there is no longer a common shared world experience.
