With the prior and substantial body of lore being largely made irrelevant, it opened up the setting for in-house authors and designers who might not have had the experience and expertise with FR compared to long-term experts outside the company. Given how the changes then were made with little to no consultation with Greenwood, Salvatore, and others at the time, it seems something geared towards the internal team or possibly new authors in mind like Evans who had no prior experience with the setting. 5e was heavily promoted as wanting to embrace the setting and bring it back in line with what its fans wanted, but given the quotes above regarding how little consultation was made with many of the setting's experts, it's quite troubling (doubly so with the continuity errors that have popped up with regards to Tiamat in FR as portrayed in the recent 5e modules).</blockquote>
