I'm also interested to know what is the issue with the dates.

That quote is from the new book...

If the fake stories are irrelevant, then why do you get the new books? The old books also have fluff and NPCs and that.

Going to give you an example with the place that affects my campaign specifically. Hard facts: Tymanther is no more Djerad Thymar still stands (and for some reason that it has art district is relevant) Messemprar is the only city independent from Gilgeam. Things that remain vague and that...

The thing is that these books barely give you a few hard facts, and there is no mystery either. So, you have nothing to work with but vague details. And if I have to determine which stuff is, then, again, I'll prefer to do homebrew. So, 60 bucks for scarce details and a few NPCs seems like a lot.

More than obsessing with lore is that I find hard to believe someone is willing to pay 60 dollars for a couple of adventures they can improvise for free at home. The idea of playing in a pre-made setting, at least for me, is that you were buying that fictional narrative. If I have to make the...

But I was here for the fake stories too, not only the adventures. I think they are losing a part of the customers base by doing that. They don't have to, though. A lot of people is already doing that for free, and updating the Wiki. They can read the Wiki and get their conclusions from it...

Yarin existed since 4e. He is mentioned in the FRCG entry of Damara. I know you want the novels to be part of the "main canon" (to give it a name), but the thing is that they are not. We have to accept that and move on. And I get you. I still get mad every time I look to my campaign guide to...

Nothing shows love for your gods more than stealing their old junk, I guess. :ROFLMAO: More seriously, thought, given that the current god-kings of Mulhorand are relatively newly created manifestations/Chosen, they may be sponsoring these raiders to recover the stuff of the old and long gone...

You should have to show me the source saying that.

AFAIK, Greenwood's contract only covers him, with the disclaimer that what he says is canon "unless or/and until superseded" by anything published by TSR or WotC.

"Were" canon is more accurate to say. Around 2018, they came with this gem, in which they basically said "every expression of D&D has their own canon" (I still remember the uproar it caused), freeing the writers to write what they want without worrying about following a continuity. So, yes...

On the other hand, there are no reasons to believe he is there, either.

Well, I checked my copy, and he does use that alias

"Downgraded Gilgamesh" would be more accurate. Gilgeam is a "manifestation" of the actual Gilgamesh, kind of a mortal, independent avatar given autonomy and a measure of the actual god's power. Due to the Imaskari barrier blocking Toril from "not-Earth", all the Egyptian and Assyro-Babylonian...
