The Sundering is an event that will be described in a series of novels and game supplements planned for release in 2013 in anticipation of the newest version of the Dungeons & Dragons game, D&D Next.[1]
As a result of the Spellplague, the worlds of Abeir and Toril became overlapped. The Sundering involves the re-separation of those worlds. In addition, Ao the Overgod will rewrite the Tablets of Fate, and the gods and their most powerful servants make preparations for that event.[2]
History and development
The first announcement of the Sundering came at Gen Con 2012.[1] Wizards of the Coast is calling the event a "cataclysm."[1] Forgotten Realms campaign setting creator Ed Greenwood described the event as "war, gods, and plain folks trying to get by."[3] The novels and adventures will be released in a staggered, overlapping fashion, and the collective results of players in their adventures can be submitted to Wizards of the Coast, and will influence the stories in the novels.[3] The result of the events, in game terms, will be a simplified set of rules detailed in the upcoming 5th Edition, dubbed D&D Next.[4]
Novels
A series of novels explaining the events of the Sundering are planned for release beginning in the second half of 2013:[4]
