[QUOTE="Bitbrain, post: 7946373, member: 6863864"] Yes, but only to a certain extent. Beyond that point, I don’t mind changes to the lore, and even welcome such alterations if they appeal to my “head canon”. Further complicating matters is that how much lore I feel is necessary varies from one setting to another... [U][B]DARK SUN[/B][/U] The lore provided in the original box set is gospel for the setting in my opinion. I also can’t stand the idea of Rajaat. [SPOILER]I prefer the implication from the original box set that the current group of Sorcerer-Kings are just the latest in a long line of petty magical tyrants who came to power after the world went to heck. In my opinion, this makes the Dragon of Tyr special; a Godzilla/King Ghidorah-esque kaiju from the ancient world, possessing powers the current crop of Sorcerer-Kings can only dream of...[/SPOILER] [B][U]EBERRON[/U][/B] If Keith Baker says it, then that is how it should be for Eberron, even if I dislike it. Any changes I make at my own table that deviate from that baseline are simply because I want to see how such a change would fundamentally alter the setting. [B][U]FORGOTTEN REALMS[/U][/B] Honestly, there is literally so much lore for the FR, you could pull random statements out of thin air and they would probably be true at least somewhere on Toril...
