Although it was implied that areas like Mulhorand and Unther were crushed by Abeir's return, if that was not entirely the case, then Abeir may be a world where the war between Primordials and Gods resumed anew. The pantheon of Mulhorand and Unther might find themselves aligned against the Primordials and Elder Wyrms that rule that land. A world defined by such an active and ongoing conflict might be an interesting place to set up a campaign, or at least host some epic level adventures.
I was wondering if there are any plans to develop the world of Abeir and what impact a "Returned Toril" might have on it.
Not that I am aware of
I doubt we'll ever get an Abeir campaign book, as they shunted those countries over to Abeir in order to get rid of them for good. Making a campaign setting which includes those discarded locales defeats the whole point.
An Abeir published setting may never happen but this is a great idea for a homebrew ;). Thanks, Zebastian! I may get some use out of my 4e Campaign Guide after all.

-Right. They were "gotten rid of", because, apparently, they didn't appeal to enough people to merit them staying in the setting to begin with.

And Abeir does.........right?.....right?

-...Maybe. It's much more "universal fantasy" than Maztica (MesoAmerica), Unther (Mesopotamia), and Mulhorand (Egypt), so, in that way, it scores more points with more people.
Well, I did care for Maztica (me being latino I sorta relate to it) but if "they" aren't going to develop Abeir, what's the point ?
-The point? To remove Maztica, Mulhorand, and Unther, replace them with things that are more "universal fantasy", but have a place for the aforementioned three places, for those who want to use them, still, or to milk them of the cool ideas and concepts that they had, while "sending them away".
Well, I'm hispanic, too, but I didn't care for it at all. And I still hate the name. Every time I read it I think of the word "chew".
Indeed! Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying about it or feel "offended" or none of that crap. But the question still remains; we had a continent with lil lore and is being trade for a continent with even less lore(if any)?Edit: Darn you and your speed-typing LK!!:P

-The issue, simply, is that Maztica was "undesirable", because it was a very specific and limited genre, and that, well, the ball was dropped with Maztica, with it being almost what happened on Earth. At least, with Kara-Tur, there are some differences and liberties taken with things.

"Si, mami."
Je refuse de parler l'anglais actuellement. Pourquoi pouvoir ne tous parlons pas le français, plutôt?
Bad phrase construction... but if your english, its great try ! Félicitation !
It would more correctly be:
" Actuellement, je refuse de parler anglais. Plutôt, pourquoi ne pas tous parler français ? "
or also :
" Actuellement, je refuse de parler anglais. Plutôt, pourquoi ne parlerions-nous pas tous le français ? "
depends on litteral or spoken language ;)
On topic... very interesting Idea ! I also found Returned-Abeir to be like any other Campaign Setting... It could actually be a Dragonlance variant !
I use an online translator.
-Busted!
-Makes me wonder, does "Abeirran", as in a language, exist?

I must say I do not mourn the loss of Egypt or the Incas
(Ahhh-ah-ah-ah) Someday we will find... the Cities of Gold!
NOT ANYMORE!

There common could in theory be different from Realms common, that would be an annoyance though, so it probably got changed by the Spellplague

-Maztica, I don't mourn, either. Mulhorand, I did like, and will miss.

To be honest, Returned Abeir appeals to me far more than Maztica ever did. Although I didn't care for Maztica to begin with. If it'd sunk beneath the ocean like a Torilian version of Atlantis I would've probably cheered.
Now THAT would have actually been interesting.
