It works as "high fantasy"...it doesn't work as "edgy, grim and gritty" fantasy.2. There sure are a lot of gods around...and they all are trying to win more followers!3. The concept of actual countries is actually a bit fuzzy. There are some established nations, but not a huge amount.4. The Realms has a lot of high-powered NPCs, real movers and shakers....and they should stay as far away from your players and events as is humanly possible. The last time a major Realms NPC drew breath in the same room as my group, was at a wedding reception for an important person. Elminster showed up, drank a lot, discussed The Art with a few of the party's wizards, smoked a pipe, then left.</blockquote>
