[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7802757, member: 7015558"] Well just two things about this. 1. For your homegame, you absolutely get to pick what is canon and what is not. It's your personal world after all, and the designers of D&D 5e have explicitly said that if you play a game in FR, your game is [I]your version[/I] of FR, and doesn't need to reflect all the "canon material." So your canon (at least for D&D) can absolutely throw out what you don't like. 2. D&D (and other properties) absolutely throw out canon when it doesn't work anymore. How many times have Klingons changed how they looked? Three times? When Star Wars was sold, they literally said everything but the movies and the Clone Wars show were no longer canon. Even D&D has "reset" it's settings. Dark Sun had a series of books that detail how four of the 11 living Sorceror Kings were killed, and a module that kills how a fifth. But in 4th edition, Dark Sun is reset to a timeline where only one (Kalak) is dead and the others are still ruling their cities, making those books and moule "un-canon." So Wizards can absolutely throw out the Greyhawk Wars if they don't think it aligns with the "official Greyhawk" they would like to release for 5e. And therefore is perfectly legitimate to debate what material we would like to stay in Greyhawk, what we'd like thrown out, and what new elements we'd like introduced. [/QUOTE]
