[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 5437897, member: 40810"] Counter-question: Find something from WotC saying that they are no longer canon. FR novels have been canon since Dark Walker on Moonshaes was published 1987 during 1st edition days. They were canon during 2e and 3/3.5e and there was never any announcement that this has changed. All discussions I ever saw since 4e agreed that they are still canon (there's usually a passionate side hating that they're canon and the threads are just big arguments about how they shouldn't be, but you two guy are the first posters I ever saw claiming that they're no longer canon in 4e). Since no new books are published for 4e it's more difficult to spot the impact of the canon novels, but I am pretty sure that novels have already impacted Dragon Magazine articles on FR lore and did definitely with LFR adventures (while LFR was still canon until just a few month ago when the revoked LFR canon status for the future thus freeing the FR team from having to check and authorize every LFR mod before it an be published) [i]Edit: [url=http://community.wizards.com/bookclub/blog/2010/08/30/fire_the_canon!]Here is[/url] one of the most recent things I could quickly find about this topic. While Eric encourages the DM to ignore canon as much as he/she likes, the important sentence for this topic right here is "And since the novels are considered canonical". Not "were considered", still "are considered"[/i] [/QUOTE]
