Some people in Canada have recieved the 4E FRCG early!

Right on (I have always been very fond of Kara-Tur).

I heard Maztica has been completely obliterated, not that I care particularly, but they better not have messed with Al-Qadim (Zakhara)!

I suspect Al-Qadim and some oriental adventures setting will appear later. Al-Qadim was too well designed not to reuse. I suspect it would be surprisingly easy to reintroduce in 4e (just need to create an elemental wizard class and a sha'ir class for the setting). Personally, I thought Rokugan was better designed than Kara-Tur ever was but Rokugan isn't WotC's property.

New Realms info.

• The 12 Shade princes and the enclave still exists.
• The Baneites´made a deal with the Phaerim to controll the Dalelands.
• The Shades heard from that deal and destroyed Zhentil Keep. After that the Baneites fled, leaving the Cyric guys in charge.
• The goal of the new Zenths is freeing Cyric from his prison.
• Exarch = Demigod = ~Demigod Epic Destiny
• Tiamat serves Bane.
• Loviatar is banes consort.
• Velsharoon was destroyed.
• Dambrath still exists.
• Lurien was destroyed and now forms the Gulf of Lurien.

Maybe I should start a other thread for all this infos?

Yeah, I wouldn't care if it still had Realms ties, I just want it to make a come back, as I still think to this day it was the most elegant of campaign settings.

And all the Halflings (please say yes)?

I guess they aimed for the Gnomes, not the Halflings. For exact death counts you have to ask on the WotC board.

I decided to fork this thread so that the compiled list is a bit more visible.

PS: Masks's realm still exists. His former chosen visit from time to time and it is rumoured that it is filled with treasure.

I've never had a problem with Gnomes, actually dig them, but Halflings have never jived with me outside of a Middle-Earth setting (Orcs neither).

-That sounds like a great Dungeon!

I guess that was the intention behind it.

• The church of Bane is still strong, even with the loss of Zenthil Keep and the citadel of the Raven.
• Bane taking Lovitar as consort was a political move. He is now worshipped also by evil dwarfs and he absorbed the goblin deities.
• Torm got Tyr's Job and the sphere of Law and now sits in the realm of Cellestia. Hes especially worshipped in the Paladin realm of Elturgard.
• Tyr was apparently killed while fighting off a demon invasion. Cryric or his followers had likely something to do with that or even stroke the killing blow.

My, how convienent.

Yes, I found it most convenient that they finally did something with the Abeir part of the Abeir-Toril name for the first time in history.

To you maybe, I thought it was the worst shoe-horning of new rules/classes ever.

And this isnt? Primordials were hiding on a split continent and Asmodeus turns up out of no where and becomes a greater god?

Come on.....I'm not saying the time of troubles was bad, but this is even worse.
