D&D 5E (2014) First World: Possibly One of the New D&D setting?

[Henadic Theologian]

Okay the first First World mention was in Tasha's for the Dreams of a Blue Veil spell.

Now for Fizban's Teasury of Dragons its mentioned again.

Could the First World be one of the new settings for D&D?

I think it would be great if it was, but I don't see them making a setting that is explicitly before all other settings

It’s certainly possible. But what’s the draw? What’s unique about it? From the descriptions it’s literally the kitchen sink all other kitchen sinks came from.

They have done it before, Arcane Age.

I have no idea what that is, which suggests to me that is not something they want to repeat!

It depends how they approach it. It could have a lot of things unique to it, or nothing at all. It a bit of a blank slate in terms of D&D lore.

Its too early to say.

I think it's more likely that the First World is the explanation for the commonalities found throughout the D&D multiverse.

Yeah I doubt it. For one thing, it's explicitly called out as destroyed. For another, I suspect this is just a recontextualizing of the Dawn War, meaning this is just the battleground between the gods and primordials.

Not impossible of course, and I think playing in a prehistoric world would be cool. Reminds me of the Avenger 1,000,000 B.C.

The mythic golden age, when elves and other races weren't ancient, but were new and the the laws of magic, etc., were just being decided.

Be there when Gruumsh had his eye put out (maybe you're the elf who actually does it?). Be there when the cavern comes down on Kurtulmak. Work the forge when the first souls are being blown into dwarves.
