The question is how to do all of the various things such a time scale will involve, without killing the essence and feel for the Realms? The campaign begins in Cormyr, and will be centered about it. I have read Volo's guide, but it seems to describe another era, specifically a happier and more prosperous time. What are your thoughts and opinions on the reactions of the people. While I have read stoies about old Azoun, I know only what I have read in the FR Guide for Allisuair and Calundini, any further thoughts on their personalities and motivations would be appreciated.

And read "After the Dragon" (Dragon Annual #5) and "The Long Road Home" (The Best of the Realms Book II: The Stories of Ed Greenwood) for more on the aftermath of the war. Cormyr: A Novel (not an anthology) is essential if you want to understand Cormyr well enough to extrapolate its history. I would definitely start this hundreds of years back, not in the official 'present'.
