[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9763898, member: 7635"] How many feywild domains can you name in D&D? Off the top of my head, there is the Summer Court, The frost one from 4e, and Prismeer from WBtW. What they did was take an already developed concept (Lorwyn/Shadowmoor) and add it to the Feywild as a new domain. It has nominal ties to Forgotten Realms (about as much as Barovia did in Curse of Strahd) and does a good job of fleshing out the otherwise sparse amount of feywild domains. To be honest, this is actually far better synergy than people want to give it credit for. It allows them to expand the Feywild, ties in with the new Realms books via the Moonshaes, and also has some attraction to MTG players who are already familiar with it. That's three audiences who could potentially find use for it. I think the problem is people keep expecting the D&D equivalents of MTG settings to be 100% faithful to MTG's universe (with planeswalkers, omenpaths, and mana) rather than by faithful to D&D's universe. (I also think this is a clever way for them to avoid using real world mythology overtly). As for focusing on other settings: we are getting two Forgotten Realms books, an Eberron supplement, most likely a Dark Sun book and potentially a Ravenloft book. How much more devoted do you want them? [/QUOTE]
