[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8803343, member: 6704184"] Orcs have a different narrative role in general now, so this doesn't really matter anymore. A world where the gods are just returning to the world, where people are entirely unprepared for the storm that is on the horizon, where people think dragons are myths until they see one, where the gods dance around eachother is a continuous struggle centered on The Balance, etc, is a very different world from Faerun or Greyhawk. Regardless of whether all the same player options are available to play. That isn't how dnd canon works. The only thing that is canon for 5e is what's in the books for 5e, but that has no impact on the 2e DL books. Does Faerun have missing gods and dragons absent for so long people thinkg they're a myth? Factions opposed to eachother in a balance that mirrors the the cosmic balance the gods work to maintain? Are the Purple Dragon Knights the same as the Knights of Solamnia? What in Faerun is the same as the Towers of High Sorcery? Does Faerun has semi-important half-ogres and a history where ogres are descended from a race of beautiful? Tiamat's role in Faerun isn't even remotely the same as the role of Takhisis in DL. No, the realms are different enough that the adventure would need to change. Otherwise, Tyrrany of Dragons would already just be the War of The Lance. [/QUOTE]
