Alrighty, so the new guy speaks up...
I know talking about 4E around here is like talking about child molestation at a Catholic Priest Convention. I would like to first make clear that I am no fan of the 4E rules. Out of all the D&D books I own, all I own for 4E is the two Forgotten Realms Campaign books. And those are only for reading about the future events that are reshaping the setting I love - not because I plan to ever use 4E rules...
That being said, the reason I decided to look for a Thayan-based PW was directly because of reading Gauntlgrym, Book 1 of the Neverwinter Series - a series set entirely after the Spellplague. I had already read through Books 1 and 2 of Haunted Lands, and now that I am done with Gauntlgrym, I just got, but haven't started, Unholy.
I read a post by Thayan about the future of the PW, and I noticed a suggestion that the understanding is that Thay ends up a wasteland as a result of the current events in Post-Spellplague-Faerun. In actuallity, Thay seems to finally be getting the respect it deserves in this new incarnation, and is poised to really grow as a nation as a result.
There is a sort of revolutionary war going on, and since the majority of Tam's forces are undead, Thay is suffering through a self-imposed and legnthy famine as the fields are burned and often diseased.
Dread Rings are popping up in unexpected places where major catastrophies take place, and those forces loyal to Tam are swelling their forces with the re-animated bodies of both friends and foes as they continue thier conquest.
What is the point of all this? I guess I just think that discounting the future as it is written seems a bit sacreligious. I guess I just missed most of the debate where it was decided that 4th Edition is profane to discuss, and hate that I didn't get to give my $0.01 (I can't affort 2 cents... sorry!)
Anyways
