But I think expecting a certain level of "detail" is patently unrealistic.Other than the "detail" part, everything else that you mention, especially "revisit" and "compile" has no value to me. I prefer books with value-added content.The detail part is good - I too am a "detail person", and would love 11 pages (as Staffan notes, above) on Baldur's Gate as well. However, I do not value that anywhere near as much as detail on places that have never seen any detail ever before.Of course there are areas we haven't seen detailed. Along with the ones you mentioned, there is also Lantan, Nimbral, the Mhair Jungles, and Sossal. Now, they have yet to announce a content list for either Serpent Kingdoms or the new Shining South, so guessing what might be in them is purely conjecture. If we're REALLY lucky, we'll see Lapaliiya, Tashalar, Samarach, Thindol, and Mhair in the Serpent Kingdoms, and the Shaar in the Shining South book. (If this is true, I'd be jumping for joy.)After all that (and an Island Kingdoms book), I'd gleefully ask for a Western Heartlands book. But right now? Hell, no.Exactly. I'm hoping that WotC details the last areas we haven't seen yet - then I'm all for something like a Western Heartlands book.Um-hmmm.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> I'll note that you also forgot to mention the (rather large) entry in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast for Baldur's Gate. And, I'll make an interesting note here - the North has gotten at least 3 books full of regurgitation. If you think that the North has much more detail than what was in those previous books (other than Silverymoon), you are mistaken. It's the same paragraphs for the same geographical features over and over and over again (eg. FR5, VGttN, The North box, etc). So, don't be thinking that "more pages = more detail", because you'd be wrong. The Western Heartlands has almost the same amount of detail (check the paragraph size for the geographical entries in each book) - just regurgitated fewer times.However: I, too, would like Baldur's Gate treated the same way as Silverymoon was in The Silver Marches.Nope. Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate doesn't cover Baldur's Gate at all. Instead, it covers the region south of Baldur's Gate in western Amn and northern Tethyr.</blockquote>
