[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8646379, member: 7015558"] It doesn't seem to read like that at all to me; [I]The elegy suggests that before the myriad worlds of the Material Plane came into being, before Oerth and Toril and Eberron and Krynn existed, the primordial dragons—Bahamut and Tiamat—worked together to create the Material Plane in the form of a single First World. All the worlds that now constitute the plane are, in the words of the poem, "seedling realities" formed when the First World was sundered in some unexplained catastrophe.[/I] This sounds much more like an actual place. It doesn't exist anymore, but I don't think that particularly matters... in fact, a good chunk of the book could be about how the First World will eventually end and be split into multitudes of worlds. Now, this elegy doesn't mention giants, but I see no reason why the First World can't also contain giants who share (and compete) with dragons for control of the world. We already know that the D&D Team is working on entirely new settings, and they love to tease their books in earlier releases. If I were to write this, I'd also make it a lot like the Ravenloft book (which is essentially a "how to run horror D&D" book) where it is "how to run prehistoric D&D" book. So yes it's a primer on the First World, but a lot of material can be used for your own game to run a "sent back through time" adventure in a normal game, or just to add a prehistoric period to your own homebrew world. I personally just don't find a "Fizban's but Giants" as something particularly interesting... we've gotten a lot of giant content already, and although there is room for more I'd suspect a book like this would include a lot of reprinted material from Volo's, goliath, firbolg etc, and I hope the D&D team doesn't bother with that.
