D&D 5E D&D Lore Changes: Multiversal Focus & Fey Goblins of Prehistory

WotC's Jeremy Crawford revealed a couple of the lore changes in Monsters of the Multiverse.

• The big shift is toward the multiverse as the game's main perspective rather than a specific setting. The game is shifting towards a multiversal focus, with a variety of worlds and settings.
• Universe-spanning mythical story beats, such as deep lore on goblinoids going back to 1st Edition, and the gods they had before Maglubiyet. Prior to Magulbiyet unifying them, goblinoids were folk of the feywild in keeping with 'real-world' folklore.
• Changelings aren't just Eberron, but they've been everywhere -- you just don't necessarily know it. Their origin is also in the realm of the fey.

D&D 5E - A Compilation of all the Race Changes in Monsters of the Multiverse

Over on Reddit, user KingJackel went through the video leak which came out a few days ago and manually compiled a list of all the changes to races in the book. The changes are quite extensive, with only the fairy and harengon remaining unchanged. The book contains 33 races in total, compiled and...

Thern, by all means, back your basseless claim up with facts.

Universe - Wikipedia

is all of space and time[a] and their contents,[10] including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy.

Wanna try that one again?

And if a plane of existence has no galaxies or solar systems? It's still a universe—it is still all of space and time and the contents of that universe.

Then guess what, it isn't a universe.
Not very difficult was it now?

You don't even know what you're talking about here.

Fact: Universe is not something the size of a solar system unless it is a pocket universe. And using the dictionary will not help you, as it is as usual waaay behind terms being used in science and science fiction - as per normal.

Back up your claim, bud. I’ve backed up mine. The dictionary isn’t “behind”, it’s descriptive, and describes all known usages of a term. That particular dictionary is updated every year, so any “missing” definition that is specific to size would be a very minor, niche, quite new, definition.

Do try to keep up.

Just excellent.

And still keeping it up with the strawman of me being pedantic. Terrible argument. Being pedantic would be arguing over something small, as opposed to incorrect terminology. Wrong terminology is still wrong, and not being pedantic. Like i said you're trying a really terrible argument here.

LOL trying to talk down to me while flailing about how nitpicking terminology totally isn’t pedantic is hilarious.

This is whole another load of you not knowing what you are talking about.
Demi-planes are not infinite, they are all finite and rather well small.

Provide support for you claims, or stop wasting my time.

MtG planes are not multiple concurrent universes.

Yes, they are.

The best way to think about MtG is if some Cosmic entity whacked MtG universe with a huge hammer and shattered it into a load of different realms, or demi-planes.

Which could also be accurately described as a series of concurrent universes.

Buddy, you…are embarrassing yourself very badly, here.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

In case anyone is confused; “a universe” is not the same as “the universe”, which generally refers to our universe.

The term universe has about a dozen meanings.

Plane

A plane is a self-contained world or universe of any size found within the Multiverse of Magic: The Gathering. While planes can be governed by any conceivable set of rules and natural laws, or indeed even inconceivable ones, most planes visited in the storyline are comfortably similar to Earth...

Except you're wrong.

1. There is nothing to say it doesn't, unless you can show me otherwise?

It doesn't have WotC on the cover.

2. link or something?

3. Well...no. A universe is not a grain of sand so that is totally wrong.

If it contains everything, then it's a universe.

But mostly very small planes are usually called demi-planes.

Sure. Demi-plane is a general term for any small plane.

Kind of like the upcoming KS Demiverse.

3PP has nothing to do with WotC lore, citing it makes as much sense as siting Star Trek TOS session 2 episode 4 as in irrefutable authoritative source.

No, but it's an attempt to compile the canon.

No, it isn't. Where different sources give conflicting information FR Wiki lists both versions, without choosing a "true" one.
