I can tolerate the Shar-killing-Mystra-and-now-She's-back bit, etc. I can bring back what I want, more or less, even keep a select few 4E things, albeit not many (a few land nodes, spell motes, or whatever they're called). All the previous lore is still usable, biggest difference is most of the pre-4E NPCs are gone. Oh well, make 'em up or retcon a few from the past. I recall reading an article or two where this was considered an advantage for the authors, that instead of having to deal with a mountain of reference manuals or realms gurus the slate had been wiped somewhat. Or...oh Hell. Just make up some explanation for how the Shar-wrecked future of the Realms was magically retconned, so we're still 100 years ahead but most of that stuff never happened. Yeah, think I'll go with that. (I'll pretend Erevis Cale and his antics, along with the Lathander's rebirth, flipped the switch the other way. Yep, that'll do. I don't need any other big explanations.)*sigh*Segue back to the books for a moment...it would be nice to see a few more 'friends of the Realms' back in print on the Realms, such as Elaine Cunningham. I'd like to see what Arilyn, Elaith, Elaith's daughter, and Liriel are up to after all this Sundering business winds down. Doubt it'll ever happen, but it would be nice.</blockquote>
