I just saw that on May 20th another Backdrop article will be out. Chessenta. I guess that's where the Chessenta map is from.

On the 19th will be the Eye on the Realms article by Ed Greenwood.
Here is the link to the Chessenta Map. www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/galleries/...
Why is everything that's a bit interesting in 4e info only for D&D Insiders?
Its because WotC wants you to subscribe to it...
Hoar?
I hope so.
Hoar?
I hope so.
Delta are you secretly a Hoarite?
And any way, wasnt he known as Assuran in Chessenta?
No Silver, not a Hoarite. I just want to see new lore on the God.
I am curious what they've done to the Chessenta area now they have been surrounded by "aliens" i.e. the dragonborn of Thymanter to the east, the Imaskari to the south and the Akanul genasi realm in their midst. Does the area still have the greco-roman feel?
Gruumsh commited the first known Deicide during the Orcgate Wars.
No Silver, not a Hoarite. I just want to see new lore on the God.
Ahhh ok, so who was it that Gruumsh killed? Or are you going to make me look it up?
Now as Suin said 4E 'might' have retconed that or revealed hidden lore about Deicides from before that in the Realms.

I guess Ed's Eye on the Realms will be tomorrow...
I also like the fact that titles of the priests of these various beings are listed. That was something I was never quite sure on in 4e Realms, would Primordials, Archfey, etc. still be worshiped as gods like they were in the past? Judging from this article I would say yes, yes they are.
All in all a very informative article, Good job Brian! and to Mike Schley! Thats a beautiful map, I hope to see more like it!
The Old Empires live again!!!
So how many "single direst threat to the mortal world" do we have?
"Sorry, Entropy but while you were sleeping a long line has formed. Shar and Cyric just had their turn, but Eldest, your other sleeping primordial pal we better not stir in the upcomming special LFR adventure and dozens others are first in line. If all goes as planned you can have your try in 100 years and now sit down on the bench until you're called up"
So how many "single direst threat to the mortal world" do we have?
Just one.
Entropy, by itself, is a direct threat to the World. It doesn’t need followers of any kind to carry out its plans. For example, Shar needs mortal & divine agents to enact her main goals. One of which is the total dissolution of the cosmos. (With her being the only thing left) Entropy sits there and consumes everything. We are talking about plants, minerals, animals, beings of all types, the very air itself, deities, and perhaps other primordials. No agents required.
Nothing on Hoar? Bah.
Nothing? Well then I agree, Bah!
Come on Wizards, its been almost 3 Years now, we deserve something, not just Hoar, but all the exarchs. All they get is a list in the campaign guide, no description, channel divinity feats, not even any domains, come on already! Have there been any thing on the lesser gods or exarchs in any Dragon or Dungeon issues?
So is how big is Entropy and is she on the Prime material plan?
Wasn't Entropy linked to Shar? Like an Aspect?
I dont think it gives an actual size for Entropy, but Id imagine its huge, like miles across, and getting bigger! And yes it is on the Prime Material Plane. And A link to Shar would make sense, but I dont remember anything stating anything about a connection. The Karanoks worshiped Entropy as a god, but were actually recieving spells from Tiamat, im not exactly sure where I read that at, Ill check around and see if I cant find that source.

When Entropy was imprisoned the goddesses decided to use the poor primordial. For their own personal gains of course. Now it would either temporarily align with Shar or flat out consume her. As for Tiamat, I think she is wise enough not to make pacts with this primordial.
