Forgotten Realms - Would You Be Interested in an Adventure Set in Abeir?

[Hexmage-EN]

Would there be any interest in exploring Abeir, Toril's counterpart, in a published adventure?

For those unfamiliar, here are some quotes from the Forgotten Realms wiki:

Abeir is the twin planet of Toril, located in the same material plane of its sibling world, but within a "pocket dimension" that is out of synchrony with Toril. Abeir revolves around the same sun of Realmspace, although from Abeir the sun is seen as blue colored. Abeir shares the lunar satellite Selûne and its Tears with Toril.

Ao gave the primordials control over Abeir, while retaining sovereignty over Toril for the gods. When Abeir-Toril was sundered, the city of Xxiphu, the realm of the aboleth, remained on Abeir.

Abeir has a steel-colored sky due to the arambar, the residue energy left by the death of the primordial of the same name. Magic manifests differently on Abeir than in Toril, as there is no Weave and no normal ways to contact any gods, as gods were wary about this world.

The only known continents of Abeir are Shyr and Laerakond (at least before it was transferred to Toril). For a time, Maztica was also part of this world. Like Toril, it also contains an Underdark. The original kingdom of the Abolethic Sovereignty was also located in Abeir.

Dragons usurped control of Abeir during a conflict known as the War of Fang and Talon. After the war the few primordials who survived retreated into hiding and fell silent, and only a handful of dragon lords survived. Not long after, a mighty dragon called Gorloun founded the first dragon empire, and soon rival draconic realms sprang up thereafter, and the long Rule of Dragons began. In the lands of the eastern continent Shyr, the despotic primordial Karshimis also created his own nation.

These nations quarreled each other for ages, but draconic rule remained nearly unchallenged until the Blue Breath of Change, when both worlds merged for a certain time.

Those events were unknown to Faerûnian sages until after the Spellplague, when the dragonborn of Abeir and the sarrukhs of Okoth revealed forgotten lore regarding the ancient past.

Abeir is inhabited primarily by primordials, dragons, dragonborn, dwarves, genasi, halflings, humans, and a few other races that also inhabit Toril.

Elves and other fey creatures are almost unheard of in Abeir, although drow are known to inhabit its Underdark.

Not even a little. I would much rather see more areas of the Realms updated (outside of the fricking Sword Coast). Even better, I'd like to see other settings re-explored, like Greyhawk, Dragonlance, or even Dark Sun (and I hate Dark Sun).

I would love to see Abeir detailed and given some adventures, but I also want to get more updated Eberron, would like to see some kind of 5th ed Nerath source book, and there are too many awesome settings to speak of beyond that, that I'd like to see updated. I'm a bit of a setting junkie... Oh, and a new official 5th ed Gamma World....

I would be interested. I would, in fact, be far more interested in this than in any other Forgotten Realms product/area.

If it's a choice between this and other campaign settings, though, it would really depend on which ones.

But yes, it sounds cool.

Sure, why not?

*reads first post*



A pocket dimension of dead primordial titans (where the sky itself might actually be the shed blood of a titan), elemental spirits, dragon overlords, Yuan-Ti, aboleths, and a blue sun . . . Minus the blue sun this is kind of how I might describe my homebrew setting.

This is awesome. Any specific WOTC products detailing this place?

Depends on the alternative, in all honesty. I mean, if the choice was either an Abeir Campaign Setting book (at least on the level of SCAG) or yet another boring Realms book? I'd go for Abeir in a heartbeat. But I'd definitely label a Nerath, Eberron, Mystara, Planescape or Spelljammer 5e update a much bigger priority to me than an Abeir book.

What I had in mind was an adventure like the ones that have been released so far. Perhaps part of it takes place in Toril, but the players travel to a handful of locations in Abeir for some reason.

Sounds exactly like the sort of thing I'd like to see. I don't think they did to much with Abeir in 4e so I'd like to see more of it in the future.

It sounds cool, but it would be basically just another setting with a few loose ties to the real FR. If they wanted to sell books they would make it Dark Sun, or Eberon and just call it Abeir. This would sell to Fr fans and the other setting fans.
