I do wonder about their source. Those are some very specific details. Going with a drow as the main villain...bold choice there, if accurate.
There's a lot to unpack, and (again, if true) I feel like it might be a lot to throw at new audiences:
- Faerun
- The Eye of Vecna
- Vecna
- A gold dragon (that also, apparently preferred to act invisibly and silently)
- Gnomes
- Drow
- Torm
- Tyr
- Ilmater
- Half-dragons
- Tieflings
Ugh! They're mixing Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms? They better be mixing in Spelljammer or Planescape too to explain the matter!
I suppose two contrary settings is at least better than no setting at all, which is what we've been getting.
That said, why the hell can't they just take a friggin out of print adventure like Great Modron March or Firestorm Peak or The Doomgrinder or Dark Queen of Krynn and convert that plot directly into a movie
