This would be better with all good news combined: "Hey, we got a great idea for Realms! Everyone dies. The world is in pieces. Drizzt and Volo are alive and well."

The Sundering and the welcome of all the old-era lore would seem to indicate such.

Actually, that's the expression Ed makes when someone tells him a joke and he's so overtired--and the joke so juvenile--that he cannot hold himself together or look the person in the eye any more.

The "Ask Ed Greenwood" thread on Candlekeep has gotten how long did you say?

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Ed Greenwood after he was told that the Legion of Doom (The Twisted Rune) sabotaged one of Halasters spells from a remote location and Halaster's soul was spread throughout the Realms and beyond

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-J.R.R. Tolkien
