[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8811690, member: 7023887"] They changed the Knights of Solamnia to accept women into their ranks. That might have something to do with mustaches not being required for them anymore. Hang on, there's a [I]huge [/I]difference between "do they like facial hair" and "there's a schism between two kinds of elves". Most settings don't have facial hair be important in any way. There's the recurring joke about all Dwarves, including the women, having beards, but that's not mentioned in any of the books and is a meme the community came up with. But things about whether there's a schism between multiple kinds of elves actually does matter. The difference between a Tairnadal and Aereni Elf actually matters in Eberron. The fact that a knightly order tends to have mustaches? Not so much. That doesn't alter how anyone actually plays the game like how Eberron differentiates between elven subraces. If a 6e Eberron book got rid of the difference between the Tairnadal and Aereni Elvish cultures, that would be a big deal that would greatly affect the world and ruin some character concepts. Whether or not the art shows the Knights of Solamnia with mustaches doesn't have an effect like that. And I don't think 5e is bad at worldbuilding, there are books that prove that 5e can do it well (Theros, Eberron, Wildemount). But there are 5e books that do it badly (Spelljammer, Strixhaven, SCAG).
