- Elminster was always the god of magic for both elves and humans. He has had many avatars and has gone by many names, including Corellon, Mystryl, Mystra, Mystranan, and the Simbul (not the Simbul of 3E and beyond, but the deity known as the Simbul).
- Drizzt's ascension and apotheosis is finalized, as he agrees to accept the Well of Eternity upon Lolth's demise. As the new deity of all Brownheart Fey and their subraces, he vows to fight the new evil deity of all Blackheart Fey, the merged Eilistraee-Kiaransalee, who will be known as Eiliansalee. She will have the deific domains of death, torture, dancing, and spider-killing. Her highest clerics will be called "Death Dancers". These events are detailed in the trilogy Black Hearts of the Drow, exclusively published in iFormat for the iPhone Razor.
- Realmsian deities have been reduced to 12 in the "Cynosure" timeline, which is the primary timeline from which all others branch. All interloper deities were killed in the final Bloodwar of the Abyss novel, including many primary deities of the Realms. Damage to the planes was contained by the greater deity Ptah (newly emerged from Amaunator's ashes, as the Harp of Halaster played the keynotes of universal creation during his death at the hands of Cyric... poor Cyric fails again!).
- It is revealed that Cyric and Shar killed Ao at the beginning of the crossover Amazon Kindle webcomic "Cynosure", which fractured the timeline into multiple alternate realities. At selected "fracture points" players can slip into various new worlds to explore, both ancestral and futuristic. This allows players to not only take their 8th edition PCs into other DMs' game worlds without worry of inconsistencies, but to have maximum fun with laser and fusion weapons transferred to medieval settings!
- The merging of cyberpunk and high magic is complete, as the world of Eberron and the world of Cyberpunk-v5 have merged with the twin worlds of Abeir and Toril. This reflects the final acquisition of two companies by our company, WotU (Wizards of the Universe, owned by Bandai-Fujikari-Hasbro), those of R. Taslorian and West End Games, finally making WotU into the largest publisher of RPGs in the world! This merged gaming world will allow multiple timeline alternate universe adventuring for maximum fun, mixing every genre as players have repeatedly requested.
- Look for your next update in neural reality gaming centers worldwide! Our objective is to provide the best nostalgic experience possible for tabletop RPG gaming. And don't forget to check out our modern gaming line, with the new neural chip line of MMORPGs, including NewYouReality, LiveAnyLife, and Warcraft Universes - with identCard payments possible from any major bank!
Maximum enjoyment, maximum fun! Super-sugeeeee! ;) :P ;)

-Phew. At least I retain my independence.
...the merged Eilistraee-Kiaransalee...
-Would that be...Eilistraeealee?

Karsus was retconned in 7th edition. His mortal form was merely an avatar of one of the mysterious "Those Who Sit Above In Shadow", who rule the multiplicity of overdeities (like Ao). The thus-far-unnamed "High Overdeity" felt that Mystryl (Elminster) needed an overhaul, and Ao could not refuse.
-Would that be...Eilistraeealee?
Eiliansalee. :P

Well, in 6th Edition there were only four. But people on the forum boards held a petition in 2012 and they were increased to 3047 deities for 7th edition. But many were interloper deities, like Ne Zha the Dragonslayer (there's still forum outrage over Ne Zha's slaying of the Midgard Serpent, thus preventing Ragnarok for the Norse Deities). Those are the vast majority that don't make it into 8th edition. ;)

Well, your world, sure. Oh... maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
Then again, they keeping shortening the time between editions, so 8e will probably come out a week after 7e.
I think your being too generous here - it will probably be called the The Aberrant Dragonborn Realms by then, and Elminster will have had at least two name changes, along with his complete back-story, and the Chosen were really the Final Ten in the Faerûnian Idol contest.
At which time, Simon and Randy become Archfiends, and Paula Abdul becomes the Goddess of incoherrent thoughts. 'Reality Crytal Ball' becomes all the rage by then as well, along with 'Drow Chicks Gone Wild'.
Oh, and Ao was really Cthulhu all along, and the Dragonborn star in their own cartoon series called Dragontails.

You joke about that but its coming...
Or maybe it was the death of Szass Tam at the hands of Bobby the Wondermage......
-The epistemological implications of this, I find, were astronomical.
- Drizzt's ascension and apotheosis is finalized...
Oh God, no!
Then in 6e people just start calling it the 'Horny Crown', and things really start to turn into a party for you.
The Crown of thorns merges with - and takes the name of - the Crown Of Horns in 5e, so you should still be around in that form.

I hook up with the church of Sharess then? Or is it just Bast by that point?
Loviatar merges with her as well by then, which should suit your more... shall we say, 'painful' tastes? ;)
-If I joined the RPGA now, would I be able to influence any of these events? Say Karsus makes a comeback, using his Hands of Karsus to kill the leaders of most civilized lands, instituting a reign of "terror", with his queen?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
-If I didn't join, and just posted that stuff on the internet, can it happen anyway? As we all know, everything on the internet is the truth.

Yes, and I'd post it on multiple sites. With exclamation points and lots of underlining. ;)

Yes, yes, do that!:D
The main rules used are either D&D 5e (which is mostly based on AD&D 2e), GURPS, RuneQuest or TDE.
Yes, yes, do that!:D
-I just did. I'll type it again, because as we all know, the more you type something, the more true it becomes:

Please start with the Dragonpeople that were Elmer's Glued into the new Realms. I'd like to see them burn most of all.
And remember... it's not a reign of terror if you're excising cancerous elements.

-In the Dragonborn thread, I was telling everyone how a vote for Karsus is a vote against the 11 million illegal Dragonborn from "Abeir" taking the jobs of our Dragon-Kin, so Dragonborn are the obvious place to start.

Hurray! Support our native Torillian dragon-kin! Give me a campaign button, and pass the torches! :D
-- Illmatians against Tyrants
-- Eldathans against Dragonkin!
-- Necromancers for Equal Rights! (Let's def. get this one! I like these guys)
-- Evokers Are People Too!
-- GFFDOMW! (Gnomes for free distribution of Mechanized weaponry)
And so on and so forth! Let's get cracking!
I have yet to see a rally! Let's get some funding and support! Interests groups!
-Would you like a ceremonial position as Hand of Karsus, as my campaign manager?

That would mean throwing my name into a hat, wouldn't it? That kind of ruins the fun of being an indy source of frustration....
Could I wear a big Pin designating my office?:D :D :D

I agree. And how can anyone claim its a reign of terror. Everyone will support Karsus, and be happy doing it.
We are happy because Karsus tells us we are happy.

Meh, given up on me already!? I just got back from the "Liches Against Drunk Riding" convention -- those guys really care about intact skeletons! Seriously... if I'm out of a job already, its back to the headpiece for me!
