[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 7902442, member: 7017196"] At this rate, in 5E, I can have the events of The City of The Spider Queen/The Silence of Lolth happening as a current event DESPITE it being 3.0 and happening already BEFORE the Sundering "gives us" 5E. Or I can have The Temple of Elemental Evil being "5 years ago" and Return to Temple of Elemental Evil being many years later. Slumbering Tsar is "supposed" to take place during 2E in my mind, and shows Orcus's death/split from his godly essence. The revived Orcus of 5E is faced in Rappan Arthuk. Tyranny of Dragons is the "Avengers/Infinity war/Endgame" of the 5E Cinematic Universe Heck, I imagine Aqccuitions Incorporated as Forgotten Realms/Faerune much later in the future of the world after the "current state of what 5E" is. My one buddy, however, views each edition as an age. So 1E is The First Age, 2E is The 2nd Age, 3E/3.5 is The Third Age, 5E is the current century setting as it's The Fifth Age. Although, I can view 4E as the age before The First Age. Especially since the Dawn War would "explain" things like the gods and how the Points of Lights would eventually become various landmarks in current age 5E. [/QUOTE]
