[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9729205, member: 7030526"] It sounds like the goal is as few retcons as possible by mostly focusing on the present. Any big changes like PDKs will likely be explained still, not retconned. It was pretty clear the only intended retcons would be stuff Tondro felt was particularly offensive and perhaps even then only when it was relevant to the current circumstances. So not so much The Grand History of the Realms as a Current Events Faerun edition. So probably only mentioning past major evens from before the past ten years when it's required to make sense of the current situation or organization, NPC. This means most players, especially new players will the SCAG and if possible the Grand History of the Realms for a great grasp on the past. I do expect somekind of explanation if say there is a new Ruler of a country from who ran it in the SCAG, so I'm not expecting a ton of cause less changes from the SCAG. Example pretty sure Calim & Memmons basic history will get somekind of explanation because they effect Calimshan currently and are just too important to the setting current context (they are why it's a desert if I remember right). Other stuff like King Azoun the past ruler of Cormyr probably won't get mentioned, it's not relevant to the current context. [/QUOTE]
