Not as WELL fleshed out as earlier ones, but it had had 5.5 years of source books and magazine articles directly supporting the setting. It didn't have a Nentir Vale or Nerath gazetteer book, but its setting was infused in every non-setting-branded book or article released in the edition, as well as the Nerathi Legends setting-branded articles.But we haven't gotten a 5e release of the setting yet (just release it, WotC! I swear you'll get even more fans of the setting than your entire player base last edition!). I KINDA think they haven't because they are holding out for a World of Greyhawk release; a LOT of Nerathi, Karkothi, Iron Circle, and Vaillen locations are looted directly from Greyhawk, or if not there, from Mystara. Because the setting is supposed to be the "Greatest Hits of D&D World."And I'd argue that Arcavios (Strixhaven) was designed with Dungeons & Dragons directly in mind. It was created as a cross-project setting. It's not a Magic: The Gathering conversion so much as a setting made for both Magic and D&D.Critical Role was also ESSENTIALLY a new setting. Nobody had the setting guide materials; we only knew the setting through the show previously. Sure, Mercer made it for past editions, but this is the edition it was RELEASED IN.Finally, Acquisitions, Incorporated is technically a brand new setting guide. Sure, the Acquisitions, Inc. team is based in the Forgotten Realms this edition, but they're an inter-planar organization. They were based in Nerath in 4e, and that canon hasn't gone away. They have offices in Ravnica. I believe one of their members shows up in Avernus? Correct me if I'm wrong. They had their first setting book in 4e, and now have a 5e setting book. So there's been 2 new settings since Eberron, NOT COUNTING Magic: The Gathering Planes (which you should, especially for Strixhaven).</blockquote>
