Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinnguard" data-source="post: 9788541" data-attributes="member: 7033886">Thanks for the additional Dragonborn lore in the new book.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)"  data-smilie="22"data-shortname="(y)" />I went to the Forgotten Realms wiki to check out its' entry on the Second Sundering and the First Tymanther-Unther War. The lore mentioned in both FR Wiki entries appears (to me) to be at odds with the lore [USER=6706188]@MonsterEnvy[/USER] mentioned earlier in this thread. [URL unfurl="true"]https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Second_Sundering#1486_DR[/URL]Here's the part in the Second Sundering that mentions what had happened to Tymanther:On <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Nightal" target="_blank">Nightal</a>, some places of Abeir that had been part of Toril in the last century and viceversa were restored to their original worlds. <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Unther" target="_blank">Unther</a> was returned to Toril by this process. While in Abeir, Unther had succumbed to the domination of the creatures native to that world. However, a reincarnated <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Gilgeam" target="_blank">Gilgeam</a> had led his people against their new oppressors, until their land was shifted back to Toril. Once there, Gilgeam immediately went against the <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Dragonborn" target="_blank">dragonborn</a> of <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Tymanther" target="_blank">Tymanther</a> to take back all of Unther's ancestral land, starting the <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/First_Tymanther-Unther_War" target="_blank">First Tymanther-Unther War</a>.The Untherite god <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Enlil" target="_blank">Enlil</a> also returned to Toril on Nightal, but he chose the dragonborn as his new protégés instead of the Untherans, manifesting in the shape of one of them in the citadel-city of <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Djerad_Thymar" target="_blank">Djerad Thymar</a>. It was Enlil who allowed most of Tymanther to remain in Toril, stopping the magic of the Sundering to some degree. Only the northern portion of Tymanther was sent to Abeir, and the dragonborn nation was consequently reduced to its southern territories around the <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Alamber_Sea" target="_blank">Alamber Sea</a> and the <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Ash_Lake" target="_blank">Ash Lake</a>.[URL unfurl="true"]https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/First_Tymanther%E2%80%93Unther_War[/URL]I am starting to think the two new FR books take place on Toril 2024, not Toril 2014. Those aren't years btw, they're multiversal addresses.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Kind of like the multiversal addresses seen in Marvel Comics. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
