[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 9222799, member: 6780330"] I agree that it is nominally set there. Emphasis on nominally. And Candlekeep is not really important to most of the component Adventures. Very different than Shadow of the Dragon Queen being very firmly based in Krynn, for example, or Icewind Dale for the Realms. Ij ghe four full years starting with 2020, there have only been 3 books set in the Realms explicitly, including the very nominally Candlekeep Mysteries. Books in that period not even nominally set in the FR include: [LIST] [*]Explorer's Guide to Wildemoint [*]Mythic Odysseys of Theros [*]Tasha's Cauldron of Everything [*]Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft [*]The Wild Beyond the Witchlight [*]Fizban's Treasury of Dragons [*]Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos [*]Call of the Netherdeep [*]Mordenkainen's Monsters if the Multiverse [*]Journeys through the Radiant Citadel [*]Spelljammer [*]Shadows of the Dragon Queen [*]Keys from the Golden Vault [*]Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants [*]Planescape [*]Book of Many Tjings (digitally already, at least) [/LIST] So, 3 FR books to 16 non-FR specific books. Adhere have been as many books in the 20's narrated by Greyhawk NPCs. Some of these do suggest you can put them in the FR, but also make suggestions for Greyhawk, Ravenloft or even Mystara. Hence why I say the FR is not the default Setting the way that the Nentir Vale or Golorion are default Settings. [/QUOTE]
