[QUOTE="epithet, post: 7766592, member: 6796566"] Allow me to introduce you to the [URL="https://adventurersleague.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/1765690-forgotten_realms_style_guide.pdf"]Forgotten Realms Style Guide[/URL]. The very first element it describes is the appropriate tone for Forgotten Realms adventures and products. [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=2][INDENT][B]Tone[/B][HR][/HR] The Forgotten Realms is a hopeful setting. The good guys will eventually win. This hopeful tone sets the Forgotten Realms apart from settings like Greyhawk (which is cynical) and Dragonlance (which is a setting of romance and tragedy). While not every moment of a story or image in art should be hopeful (the villains need their time in the spotlight, and bad things do happen), keep this tone in mind.[/INDENT][/SIZE][/FONT] This is part of a document package published by Wizards of the Coast, and [URL="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/256823/DMsGuild-Creator-Resource--Style-Guide-Resources"]made available on the DMs Guild[/URL]. You may not like or agree with the WotC take on their various settings, but your argument that the tone of these settings amounts to no more than "simply the product of how your DM envisioned them" is clearly in error.
