They're saying you can play at any point, but the support for that remains to be seen. the future plans, like the Sundering itself, is very nebulous.--edit--Okay, not a Realms scholar. But this is what I understand.The Tablets of a Fate were broken during the Avatar Crisis/ Time of Troubles. Now they're being remade. The idea being that the last few Realms-shaking events are related to the Tablets being unmade. So the chaos of the last few hundred years are the result of that incident. Now the gods are stabilizing things. The changes for the 4e Realms caused problems.Because it took place in game space the novel readers missed the story. And novel writers were not consulted and had to deal with a time jump that killed most characters.Many gods vanished and several nations, removing some favourite options. Other nations were dramatically changed. Heroic organizations were downplayed. Famous ally NPCs vanished or were depowered. And the forced the entire world to conform to the idea of Points of Light.</blockquote>
