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.

I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's about time we got new lore about the Dales!

Indeed. In this first book (the "overviewe" guide) you will get writeups of every dale, with maps, some heraldry, illustrations of key NPCs and places, and so on. I've been busily answering queries about the length of road bridges, and so on. Second book: Inn Sites. I can't wait!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your work on publishing this. There are so many continents in Abeir-Toril. I can only hope one day you'll help will show us the rest of the forgotten realms.

Realmsbound intend to announce the next area of the Realms they'll cover at their GenCon seminar this summer (I genuinely don't know). As for other continents, I have plans...but I also have a roster of "right now" projects.

If you're permitted to say, what would you change about the Realms if TSR and WotC were to give you full creative control tomorrow?
