Even though an older article it is timely (As Abysslin pointed out) given recent discussions of "whither GH with the coming of 4E."

I don't favor fast-forwards (It's a personal preference) and this didn't change my mind, but I found it an enjoyable article. What I liked is that it almost "reset" much of the the Flanaess to 576, which is the point I always proceed from when starting a GH campaign (Always starting out with new players), while giving some new stuff to think about like Iggwilv's rule of the Nomads and Perrenland and the final foreboding of a threat from the Dragon Emperor. I'm still chewing on the Iggwilv thing. Not sure I personally like it but I don't think its over the top or unlikely. I also didn't care for the Mahdi in the west, but that's just because I don't think we need any more Islamicisation of the Baklunish than we already have. I'd like to hear more about the reign of Thrommel the Black in Furyondy. I'm assuming this is something to do with Vampire Thrommel. A "turned" Thrommel (not necessarily a vampire) is an idea I like and might someday do something with if I can ever get a campaign that lasts long enough to put some people through ToEE. Something like the concept of the Worm Kings in Artesia, if you're familiar with that comic. IMC I'd probably have him going over to Iuz though after his nature was discovered so he could be a long running villain.

Overall a good read. I give it two backward rakshasa thumbs up!
