Forgotten Realms would be the same in both Multiverses, since it's the only world which maintained continuity and advanced its timeline throughout all editions. There are also some timeline fragments which don't fit into either timeline (such as the Great War future timeline of Mystara, which was later retconned), and which would be like the Infinities (N-Canon) stories of Star Wars, which are neither Legends Universe or Story Group Universe. Also, each DM's own campaign is a distinct Multiverse as well. More details: [/FONT][/COLOR]https://sites.google.com/site/dndphilmont/timeline [/QUOTE]
