  Best decision Wizards of the Coast ever made. D&D is very popular now and very balanced

  I've just watched 20 of your videos back to back on the history of Abeir-Toril, a lot I knew being an AD&D geek myself, but some of it I didn't. Thank you for compiling it in a somewhat chronological order!

  Every time you said Abier my brain kept changing it to A Beer.

  There&apos;s a bit of a mistake around the 2 minute mark. The Sundering, as it used to be known in prior editions and changed to The First Sundering with 5th edition caused a lot more changes to the world than indicated. At the time of the casting Toril was dominated by a supercontinent with a few other, further continents. Faerun did not exist yet, as its landmass was joined with what would eventually become Maztica, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara. <br><br>When the Elves finished their casting they caused massive earthquakes and tsunamis that devastated the coasts of nearly the entire world and ripped huge chunks off those lands to form Evermeet. Countless peoples of all races perished, including the greatest Dark Elven city, taking much of its empire with it. The High Elves committed genocide to create their new home and broke apart the supercontinent into what is known in current Forgotten Realms.

  First off... love the silent PH.... gold. Second thank you so much for making these videos. My wife and I love watching them. As &nbsp;a new DM who also homebrews everything your videos have already had a huge impact on our game for the better. My players loved being time travelled back to the fall of the Netherese. &nbsp;Thanks again!

  This is what I needed when I was playing Baldur&apos;s Gate 3, and the Narrator says &quot;This magical tome is filled with the names of gods, once lost but now restored after the Second Sundering, all silently recorded by this book.&quot; So the Second Sundering was literally just the in-world cause for the lore rewrite for the start of 5th Edition!? That&apos;s wild...
