[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6224580, member: 87576"] We know it's going to largely reset the deities and geography of the Realms to their pre-4E versions, more or less. The adventures don't really give any clues. [I]Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle[/I] is not part of the Sundering quintology so provides no information. [I]Murder in Baldur's Gate[/I] and [I]Legacy of the Crystal Shard[/I] both suggest the deities are going to be a bit more hands on again for a while, and then fade away (... until such time as WotC decides it's time to have them star in a lacklustre trilogy). And, yes, they're set in the 4E timeline about ten years after the FRCG (IIRC). MiBG is, IMO, absolute crap but it seems to be fairly well-received by a lot of FR fans. It doesn't provide any clues of the new direction other than that Bhaal seems to be making a comeback. LotCS is rather good, IMO, and provides the basis for a rather good little mini-campaign. Again IMO, it shows the influence of R A Salvatore with the undwarven names for dwarves and un-Realmsian names in general, but those are small quibbles: this adventure does seem to have a lot of potential. There are no hints of a lead-up to a cataclysmic event in the two adventures so I still don't know what form the Sundering is going to take, only that it will reset the Realms to something less 4E-ish.
