I'm a bit confused about a few things so I would like to share them with you and if you have any input on the matter then please let it be known.
According to news I've heard, the Forgotten Realms is supposed to get a bit of a make over in order to give it that "old Realms" feeling in the form of the Sundering. We have learned that the Weave is back, kingdoms thought destroyed are alive and well (Halruaa for example), and gods we thought were destroyed are being resurrected as well. I see tons of opportunity here.
I then take a look at the current AP's we have and none of them really focus on the Sundering. They focus on very minor aspects of the Realms that have never really been in the spotlight of the Realms. Tiamat, Tharizdun, and The Elemental Princes have all been mentioned in the Realms but have never been really more than that. I don't see Wizards didn't take these and make them into small adventures while using the large AP's to get PC's involved in the Sundering directly. You could have the PC's interact with the events and make PC's feel like they had a hand in resurrecting a bit of the old Realms. I mean there are gods that have returned such as Mask and Lathander. I could see AP's based around this type of stuff but instead they focus on events involving entities that really weren't that popular in the Realms.
Just my two coppers.
