Why?While it would be cool, this won't be an exhaustive catalog of D&D multiverse lore. It's going to focus on classic lore, popular lore, lore "you need to know" to understand some of the context of the D&D game.All those classic characters and locations from Greyhawk that have spells and items named after them . . . they've got to be in there of course! But this won't be a Greyhawk gazeteer. Realmslore needs to be in there also, because IT'S THE MOST POPULAR D&D SETTING EVER. Tons of gaming material, comic books, novels, video games, and now a movie have been set in the Realms.WotC won't officially name a "default" setting, nor should they . . . but we all know the default setting of D&D is the Forgotten Realms, and has been long before 2014.Doesn't matter if you personally don't care for the Realms and prefer other settings . . . Realmslore IS the lore of D&D, with a healthy addition of classic Greyhawk lore, of course, and a dash of Nentir Vale.I'm sure that there will be at least a few entries pulled from other settings, including Eberron, Ravenloft, and Dragonlance. But not much. Strahd will probably be in there, and draconians . . . .</blockquote>
