I've always been fascinated by the Creator Races and would like to know if you guys would like to see a sourcebook or something about them?
I'm thinking something along the lines of what the world was like during thier reigns: geography, history, et. al.
I know Serpent Kingdoms and probably, Dragons of Faerun have/will deal with the Sarrukh and Dragons but the Batrachi, Aeree, and Sylvan folk are still left.
p.s. I'd love to see a map of Faerun or Toril before the Sundering.

Hmm, I thought the creator races were a quite varied bunch, all reaching the heights of their civilizations at different times. It seems unlikely there will be one book about all of them.
The Sarrukh are detailed in serpent kingdoms if I'm not mistaken.
The dragons will be most likely thoroughly detailed in the upcoming dragons of faerun.
The humans have many many books about their various regions/empires/histories.
So that leaves the shapeshifters and the Sylvan.

For more information on the creator races and event on Toril before The Sundering I suggest you check out Candlekeep Compendium (http://www.candlekeep.com/compendium/) over at www.candlekeep.com

Volume III
Mysteries of the Creator Races: The Batrachi by Gray Richardson

Volume IV
Reign of Dragons by myself

Below is a map of the supercontinent Merrouroboros (so named by the Sarrukh) that would seperate to become Faerūn and the other continents during The Sundering.

I read Gray's Batrachi and loved it, but I missed the Reign of Dragons. I'll check it out soon and thanks for the map. Who made it?

I made the map for the Reign of Dragons article.

-You know, I have a Polymorph spell readily memorized that may just do the trick... :D

For those interested, note that the Sea of Fallen Stars is not a single body of water in the map. At this point in history the comet that heralded the arrival of dragonkind had not yet struck Faerūn. These four Inner Seas were first mentioned in Gray's excellent Batrachi article.
