[QUOTE="thewok, post: 6167928, member: 60907"] Just wanted to echo what Defcon is saying here: there is no retcon. A retcon would mean that WotC is going back into the Forgotten Realms and changing the history. That is not happening. The history of the Forgotten Realms will move forward. The Many-Arrows kingdom was formed, the Spellplague happened, Abeir and Toril merged, Neverwinter was destroyed by a primordial, and so on. Pick up [I]The Companions[/I] and see that it picks up after [I]The Last Threshold[/I]. Not-really-spoilers follow: [spoiler]Cattie-Brie, Bruenor and Regis choose to be reborn so they can be with Drizzt again, not because Drizzt is that awesome (though Cattie-Brie does love him still), but because Mielikki says that [I]he[/I] needs [I]them[/I]. Wulfgar, however, declines this opportunity and continues on to his reward at Tempus' side. So, the Companions of the Hall will be reformed, but in a post-Spellplague world, and not by going back in time and saying that nothing happened.[/spoiler] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLf1hBUr9M4"]Sword and Laser had a pretty good interview with Salvatore[/URL] about the Sundering from the time [I]The Last Threshold[/I] released. They went into the difference between how the writers were treated in the lead-up to 4E and now. it was not pretty back then. I have to say that I really enjoyed the Neverwinter saga. I enjoy the Dahlia character, and I like Ambergris a lot. I'm hoping to see them in the future. Back to the point of IP: everything belongs to Wizards of the Coast.
