Aug 09, 2010 19:49:18 in the previous editon of Faerun the source book Unapproachable East had some slighty oriental regions, cultures etc (correct me if I'm wrong) before you hit Kara-Tur.

I was just wondering if any such places existed in the current timeline ?

They haven't, to my knowledge, given any updates on the far eastern Realms. Generally, the consensus is that if WotC hasn't mentioned those areas, they still exist.

So until they say differently, they probably have not changed all that much. Add in spellplague and Abeir-bits as you feel comfortable.

Aug 10, 2010 6:40:54 @OP: Unapproachable East covered the Great Dale, Thesk, Thay, Aglarond and Rashemen. The oriental culture that was covered was largely an expatriate Shou community within the city of Telflamm.

The Great Dale, Thesk, Thay, Aglarond and Rashemen all exist in the 4E Realms and there is much in Unapproachable East that is still useful post-1479D, IMO.

I guess my main concern for posting this thread was how odd would it be to see individuals who's cultures expressed a Oriental feel to be walking around multicultural areas and regions of Faerun.
But you guys pretty much answered this for me so thank you for all your input.
