The Spellplague is a brutal and inelegant way to change the magic system, but it is not a first (neither in FR nor in settings anywhere) and I cannot see how the change from 3.5 magic system to 4E could have been done with something less violent. What really gets me is the 100 years we lost. FR history in the end of the 3.5 timeline was at a very interesting point of its history. We had two new kings fans were waiting to see for a long time (Cormyr and Impiltur), the elves were returning, Shar was finally making her move and Thay finally imploded (which I considered inevitable tbh). The years that were skipped were the years I had been waiting for, when several plotlines would finally take form, all of which made for many interesting campaigns to come. And what we got was all this time getting skipped entirely. I don't at all mind the Abeir transplants, since Chondath was boring, though I would have liked to see some resolution of the Unther story first. I would have liked the setting a lot if the timeskip was not this extensive and if they had not decided to butched the pantheon left and right (I expect the empyrean trilogy to explain this but still not a fan of this development, especially the "these deities were actually this other one all along".)</p></blockquote><p></p>
