[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7944860, member: 6670153"] Neither are semiofficial unlike the Border Kingdoms or Moonshae and they messed up some of the lore. First off both seem to just ignore the SCAG as far as I can tell. While far too brief it does have important information on much of the Realms. Secondly Great Dale: Unapproachable East is a misleading title, the Great Dale is a minor power in the Unapproachable East, and the title makes it seem like this book is about the Unapproachable East as a whole and its not. The major regions in the Unapproachable East are Rasheman, Thay, and Aglarond, the Great Dale is a minor, if important part at best. And the Calimshan book claims Calimshan is the oldest continuous human nation, its not, Mulhorand/Imaskar is. Calimshan has been ruled by Genies and Genasis and even a Dragon, Beholders and other things for good chunks of its history. If fact its only been free of Genasi/Genie rule, with human rule for decades at best. Until 4e Skald in Mulhorand was the longest continously inhabited human city, then 4e blew up Mulhorand, suggested Skald was destroyed, but no one could find its ruins, then Mulhorand came back, kicked High Imaskar's arse into extraplanar hiding. This suggests that Skald was not destroy, it was simply elsewhere, perhaps Abeir or the Shadowfell (Skald is called the city of Shadows). So while I respect the work these folks did, its in need of an update. [/QUOTE]
