The setting is incoherent and absurd, with events like the spell plague and other massive cosmic scale retcons that are impossible to keep up with that completely re-write reality to suit the next edition. I don't want to read a billion novels of a bland generic setting or justify why level 18 guards the third edition book says guard waterdeep don't just handle what ever crisis level 1 adventurers are supposed to handle. Even the Pathfinder setting is better than FR. But for whatever reason, all the published adventures are set in Forgotten Realms.    I do however love Dark Sun and Eberron. I don't know what WotC has against those setting that they never publish adventures for them,at least not for the current edition. Do the adventures they published have guides on how to move the content to those worlds and how to incorporate them in to those worlds cosmology and politics?

But there's no reason why there isn't some random town called Greenest! And Greenest in DS would just be funny). Replace any monsters that don't fit new setting with ones that do - for ex: there's no orcs in Dragonlance, but there are hobgoblins. STEP 2) Describe things appropriately for your chosen setting. STEP 3) Have fun.

Nine sorcerers lead the Blood claiming to be princes (archfiends) of the Underworld.   = = =   I don't plan to use my homebrew as a setting for Elemental Evil but it's still been fun to tinker with ideas on how it might actually fit. The biggest challenge would be moving some things in my homerew (made for 3.5) over to 5e.
