I’m sure @raddu will take that into consideration, @redking.
While we wait for the above mentioned plan, I have a question for those of us who are currently active: due to historical reasons, the lore of Athas is… inconsistent. While it is entirely possible for different accounts, rumors, lies, misinformation, wild speculation, etc to account for some of this, at some point we will reach the necessity of departing from existing lore and creating new lore.
While I am very mechanics focused and have never been deeply into the lore (of any D&D setting, hope that doesn’t offend), I fully acknowledge that lore affects mechanics, and mechanics affects lore. (Hence my interest in this otherwise lore specific question.)
After all, it’s more what SFX like psionics or magic or lifeshaping CAN’T do that is interesting to a reader or player, that what it can do. The limitations drive story, and inspire most to try to figure out how they would handle it.
Thus my question: in the opinion of the lore masters, when should that break come? Where should we draw the line between filling in existing detail or reconciling old material somehow, and charting a new course? Growth demands the latter while Consistency requests the former. And the Mechanics need to know either way.
What say my fellow actives? This sort of question is important in planning for the future development. Opinions please!
