Not everything needs to be (or belongs) in the FR. 4e really went off the deep end on the default lore, and then proceeded to homogenize all of the settings. I understand the concept behind it - what makes a D&D orc a D&D orc? and they built a niche for them. But a lot of this thinking continues into 5e. It's particularly evident in VGtM which creates a whole bunch of new monsters and lore and ties them together in ways that don't fit with old FR campaigns. I would prefer lore to remain within setting specific books, but for the FR it's a problem since it's now the default campaign, and everything (except CoS so far) becomes FR.</blockquote>
