Talk:Abeir-Toril

Wonderful, parts of a lost world called Abeir are transplanted onto Toril? ➳  Quin 20:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

That's the 4th Ed. version of the story, yes. In 3rd edition, there was just Toril. In 1st and 2nd, there was just Abeir-Toril (and this post-1000 DR: long after the supposed -30k DR sundering of the planet).

This is mostly just a way to explain the absence of everything but the continent of Faerûn in 3rd edition (a very curious situation, given that people from Kara-Tur were still canon in 3e, despite the absence of the subcontinent itself), and to remould the setting to fit 4th edition's vastly altered design, even though it required retconning large sections of the canon at that point.
