At least a bit more than a few condescending memes.People have been working hard on linking the different regions to one another in their interactions but for the most parts, the different regions of FR are mini settings of their own, existing more or less independently from other regions. As a matter of fact, many such regions were grafted upon FR because TSR didn't want to support yet another setting. So pick a region that speaks to you, or throw a dart on the FR map, make a bit of research on that region, and you probably know enough to publish decent FR content.Something to know is that indeed, there are high level wizards/spell casters all over the place in FR. Elminster could solve any problem... as long as it doesn't involve another evil uber-wizard. And if he ever goes nova and spend all his spell slots, another bad guy will bushwhack him while his pants are down. But that's ok because Elminster has many other uber-Mage friends that can come to his rescue. Some villains are just waiting for that moment when elminster friends are away however, so they too can't go all-in... Powerful wizards are the nukes of FR, and they are essentially locked in a Cold War.</blockquote>
