D&D 5E Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

@Birmy pointed out this Reddit comment.

Add that to the image WotC put out with the upcoming announcement.

And they're selling apparel featuring a snowy owlbear.

The official webpage for the event and announcements does not mention a new setting at all. It just says this:



That is still vague enough that it could still be a new setting for the new adventure, but either way, it will all be tied together, like with past reveals.

Also, what is up with the weird section dividers on the page? Is there some sort of code in there that is teasing something?

The dividers look like stylized Mindflayer ships.

Wait just these?

Since Eberron releases, those four are the only segments not related to Theros or Exandria.

From Beadle & Grim!!!!

There's no point having Schrodinger's Setting unless is has the gilt edged pages and fancy cloth bookmarks.

Well, beyond icewind dale there is the icewall.

There's also Risia...and/or Masvirik.

Also, let's not forget the underdark, which could extend below many portions of the FR, and I don't think have been covered in any great detail yet.

Unfortunately, if I say forgotten realms I think I will be technically correct.

I hope I am wrong. I liked the realms some in high school. My buddy had the gray boxed set and it seemed sparsely populated and wide open! That was the reason he bought it! It seemed untamed and big.

years later, it’s too familiar and too many people know too many other people.

I am hoping anything that is new that is not full of robots.

I want something different that is fun to read even if I don’t play it!

I would take dark sun (never played it) planehopping, darker swords and sorcery, greyhawk....

man that’s a wishlist and it’s broad.

but my money is on forgotten realms...
