[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8436365, member: 7017196"] My version of "canon" in DND 5E is a mix of picked events and stuff from prior editions: For example in my version of 5E canon, the [I]Silence of Lolth (from 3E)[/I] is currently happening at the SAME EXACT TIME the whole Drow Schism is happening with many Drow leaving the Underdark and forming their own faction of Seladrine Drow [I]ala Baldur's Gate 3 when it comes to identifying terms between Lolth drow and non Lolth drow.[/I] Neverwinter is currently in ruins/being rebuilt by Degault Neverember with Phadalin from Dragon of Icespeak being one of the many frontiers being focused on to help establish new routes of trade in hopes of speeding up the Restoration. (Prior to that, the PC Neverwinter Nights version of the city is how it was before the Volcano erupted, along with it being ruled by King Nasher.) The 4E version of the Dawn War happened and explained how everything came to be with the gods. The Raven Queen (4E background with the better elements of the 5E version) took out Nerull and currently answers to Kelevemor while fulfilling her obligations to her duty begrudgingly. Orcus has already died and been brought back, ala 2E, and is currently doing his own thing/while futzing around in Rappan Athuk. The Temple of Elemental Evil takes place [I]before[/I] Return to Temple of Elemental Evil which is then followed by Princes of the Apocalypse years later. The Dead Three "exist" with Bhaal only in memory (since he's kinda dead, Myrkul being in the lower management position under the Raven Queen with Jergal handling the book keeping as a retiree deity.) Cyrus kinda does his own thing and pretty much avoids trouble unless he's hanging out with Myrkul OR a lower demi god variant of a revived Bhaal. But he's already a god at this point or lesser. Honestly I don't know what in the burning Hells is going on with the Dead Three. At this rate, they are seen more as upstart deity trouble makers at this point. The 2E Blood War is raging hard. Sigil is Sigil. Currently the Times of Troubles [I]haven't[/I] happened yet and I have no idea if the Spell Plague will occur or not. The current age of 5E is referred to as "The 5th Age" while prior editions were referenced as the 1st Age-4th Age. And currently, while all this is happening, we have the two other Drow Factions watching how everything is progressing from afar. The Current "Avengers: Endgame" of this canon version is [I]Tyranny of Dragons[/I] while Descent into Avernus is the start of "phase 4" in a way taking place after it in terms of "major events." Mask of the Betrayer hasn't happened yet. And we haven't heard much from Icewind Dale as the weather has suddenly, for some weird reason, gotten a lot more colder over on their end. [/QUOTE]
