There is more than enough information in the FRCS on Cormyr to run a campaign, you’re just caught up in the “canon” argument. By your definition no setting, ever, can fit in a single book. No setting describes the lineages of the kings etc etc etc and the amount of detail you are going on about and quite frankly, I don’t think many DMs care. I didn’t care during my Eveningstar campaign and i had all the information I needed to run a campaign there. And it worked. What you are describing is an encyclopedia and I find that idea very droll and a drain on my imagination.A DM should never feel beholden to memorizing or knowing such information. It’s great that Ed makes all this stuff up but even he will say you don’t need it because... it’s YOUR Forgotten Realms and if I want King Azoul to still be alive right this moment you bet your butt cheeks he’s alive!to be on topic, Wildemount would then not be canon because it doesn’t go into the detail Matt uses in his campaign, the specifics he extrapolates or providing detail on the Mighty Nein outside of a couple references. It would be a woefully inadequate book and need a whole series of books to give us an adequate resource to run a campaign in Wildemount. we gotta have sourcebooks specifically for the Dwendalian Empire and then the Menagerie Coast and oh, of course the Kryn Dynasty with all the backgrounds and subclasses specific to each culture and what sorts of Trees are there on the Coast and and and without all this information I just have an incomplete campaign setting and therefore it’s all junk or incomplete. It doesn’t even detail the goblin tribe that Nott comes from!! What kinda crap is this? Why is Vox Machina only mentioned in one page!! Why is the Council of Tal’dorei not explained?I don’t mean to be so flatly sarcastic but the attitude is the death of many campaigns including one I was in.</blockquote>
