D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

Interesting choice, I like it, but it's very gender focused and I don't know how much of a presence they have outside Rashemen? I suppose it could be Wychlaran and allied forces like Barbarian lodges and such.
I seem to recall Wychlaran use circle magic?

I think with most of these, when it comes to PCs, it will be an association, rather than full time membership.

I am very excited for the bestiary! I've been looking at Forgotten Realms stuff on wikis and such, and I feel that there's lots of material to work with! Not even just from 2e, as 3.5 introduced the shades/shadovar, and the kir-lanan!

I think the kir-lanan would be a fun inclusion: vaguely gargoyle-like monstrous beings who hate divine magic and the gods, and who only popped up in Toril after the Time of Troubles. It'd be cool to see how that idea would play out in 5e!

(Man, I'm really living up to my user tag! 😅)

Same here! If they do go the full 60 - 70 pages like other recent releases, there's plenty of room for all sorts of monsters to make a comeback!

My hope is that one of the DLCs is Cormyr getting the mini-setting treatment. It's irked me that Cormyr, being pretty much one of the main pillars of the setting since its inception, has been relegated to the distant background for this entire edition. I've felt the same way about the Dalelands as well, and now they are getting their due, so hopefully Cormyr gets its moment as well.
