[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 4029334, member: 28105"] I've been keeping up on this specifically, which is strange, because I never liked the Realms, still don't, and I'm still peeved by the changes. :p Realms pantheon is [b]mostly[/b] intact. Mostly. Greater gods will now be pantheon heads, with most intermediate/lesser/demigods being reduced to servitor deities and hero-gods under them. Racial pantheons are looking to be either utterly annihilated (drow are down to just Lolth, dwarves are down to two or three as I recall) or subsumed as aspects of human-pantheon deities (elves, especially; Sehanine Moonbow is now an aspect of Selune, for example). Mystra is dead and gone (and staying gone), as of end-of-phase-3.5e, Cyric is imprisoned for 1000 years for killing Mystra (but it's been stated that he was imprisoned so that the authors could continue his storyline, so that likely won't stick; Shar assisted, but wasn't punished in any way). Cyric killing Mystra causes the Spellplague, wreaks havoc on the entire plane, drives several mages insane (curiously, this avoids most Mythal-enclosed areas, which should probably have shorted out when Mystra, and therefore the Weave, went ka-blammo). Major geographical changes in several key areas. Shade/Netheril has taken over Sembia, effectively surrounding Cormyr, and for some reason, is growing plants in the desert. Realms has effectively become a new setting with the same names and themes, really. Just enough changes to completely throw off many veterans that loved it, and not enough to win over those that loathed it. Meanwhile, Eberron isn't even getting the original planned 2-year time jump, because Eberron players complained loud enough. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
