1) That's right. However, Realmsbound, like anyone else, can publish Realms lore on DM's Guild following their rules, whether I'm involved or not. So: four books, one per fiscal quarter, starting with an overview of all the dales: color isometric maps, art, and dale writeups, ...
Does your ability to publish this go all the way back to your original contract with tsr where you can create new canon lore as long as it doesn't conflict with published material or ndas?

2) ...each dale done by a different contributor. All drawing on my lore. I've been VERY impressed by what I've seen thus far. Set in 1501 DR, like the two new official Realms WotC books. Comprehensive; they will be canon at my gaming table.

This might be angels dancing on the head of a pin stuff, what I'm asking is whether, because of your "ed presents" aspect does this contractually become canon unless contradicted in a future wotc publication? Also. Fascinated re canon at your table, I had heard no ToT?

Everything I publish about the Realms is canon unless/until contradicted in official publications (that's part of the original Realms purchase agreement of 1986). My players in the original, still-running Realms campaign vote on what meta stuff, and they voted no ToT. #realmslore

Sure, so here, even if not written by you this is published by you? Did your table vote to include return of city of shade? Mindreading from afar, I always had the sense that shade wasn't your favorite especially with reset in the transitions novels to a 2e like realms?

"Blessed" by me but not published by me: published by Realmsbound through the DM's Guild. In the home campaign we're still in the late 1380s DR. Any return of Shade is nigh a century off. However, I doubt they'll want it.

In published canon realms shade returned 1372, that is an interesting nugget that in home realms shade is still 100 years off in late 1380s.
