[QUOTE="Jared Rascher, post: 3742979, member: 28825"] True, but there were a few other hints here and there, and I fully admit I may be bracing for the worst here (Spoilers): [spoiler]Mithril Hall was specifically mentioned as surviving, but not the Silver Marches, which I think is probably telling. Beyond that Rich Baker mentioned that his next set of novels is going to be based in the Moonsea region, and then mentioned his protagonist being from a very small town in that particular region, which seems to fit the "Points of Light." strategy. Also, there was the very carefully worded comment when people thought that since the Spellplague takes place 10 years in the future that the setting would be starting 4th edition there, and the comment was . . . "no one has said the FRCS is set in 1385," which seems to back up the large jump forward in time. I wouldn't mind the jump forward with enough "touchstones" to build a bridge (Elaith being a Lord of Waterdeep, for example, or notes on the Obarskyrs that have sat on the throne for the interim. [/spoiler] I'll still be keeping an eye on things, but I'm just not that hopeful that things aren't heading in this direction. [/QUOTE]
