Blood Magic like Aztlan of Shadowrun....
Hum....
I could like it.

It is the difference between using a well known and liked Product Identity and starting anew while allowing a well liked and known Product Identity to fade due to lack of support.Cthulhudrew said:Yikes!
Why bother retaining the "setting" at all if it is going to be so completely and utterly rewritten?
This is A Forgotten Realms, it happens to be the official FR now. But it's merely one way to do Forgotten Realms in 4e. If you're going to build an AU timeline distinguishing from the new RAW one is kind of necessary. And who cares what WoTC says about FR, at the table only the group's version of FR matters.The Ubbergeek said:And yet, this is a future, not an alternate history...This IS FR...To say otherwise is irritating, juvenile to me.

This is strange considering that they did shrink Faerun for the 3e FRCS because it had too many room for their liking back then.BadMojo said:The setting was starting to collapse under the weight of all that meta stuff, and geographically there were no open spaces, no mystery, very few frontiers left.
Mourn said:Abeir and Toril were separated by the Sundering (selfish elves screwing up a planet just so they can make themselves a dinky little island that they can't even protect from the drow), which was bound into the Weave, and when the Weave went poof, the Sundering was undone.
Primal said:Weird that Abeir is not (to my knowledge) mentioned in the Grand History of the Realms in any detail (I may be wrong, though). I also find it highly odd that Epic Magic or High Magic (i.e. 'Mythal-like magics') are able to "deflect" the Sellplag... Spellplague while even Gods and all the Demons of Abyss are powerless to prevent it from "reshuffling" the Planes. Talk about internal logic and consistency... :\
