[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 8947024, member: 6801776"] Dragonborn are popular, as are Tieflings (Which, let's be honest, already exist in pretty big numbers in FR). Are you honestly saying in FR, the setting that has all sorts of dragon-y stuff already like Dragonkin, there couldn't be Dragonborn around? Plus like, the weird 3.5E Dragonborn already exist there anyway Anywho 1: Wall of the Faithless is gone. It was blatently supposed to be gone in the same novel series that introduced it so this is just keeping with the original author's intent. If you really want an explanation, we destroyed it at the end of Mask of the Betrayer because that's basically one of the best D&D stories in a video game, almost on the level of Planescape Torment 2: Just ignore timelines. There's no more official "Its now year whatever". Its a vague, murky timeframe that works well enough. You want people interested in this setting, not 'oh god its year X i have to go and read up on everything that happened previously' I understand these will absolutely piss off longtime fans, but, to make it work you've got to make things easy for people to use and FR at the moment is not easy. That's why they keep blowing the world up every edition: It becomes too kludgy and built on itself otherwise, nigh impossible for new people to penetrate [/QUOTE]
