I know most of you dislike or even hate the 4e realms but I was wondering if there ever will be a candlekeep compendium containing 4e lore.

| Since most of the lore is edition neutral, there shouldn't be any problems with using the Compendiums for 4th edition. I do know that the delay for the next compendium is due to WotC's delay on the fan site policy. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

| If we ever do get to work on those again, anything I submit might be used in 4E, but will be written with 3.5E in mind. |

I don't do long stats, so anything I create might/should be easy to convert....
As for lore, all my lore will be tied to the old FR from 1e to the end of 3.5e. Only because I don't own any of the material for the new Realms and I don't see myself creating material for the new Realms. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

There will undoubtedly be 4e lore in a future Candlekeep Compendium. And I've no problem with that. There are, after all, sections of the FRCG that are particularly open to expansion through fan-lore generated for the Compendium, for example.
Most importantly, the CC is meant to be an FR resource useful for ALL devotees and EVERY edition of the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting.
I can't say for certain whether I'll ever write anything for the 4e Realms. As it stands now, I'm still writing material for the 1370's Realms. And long-time scribes here at Candlekeep know that stats and stat-blocks have never been my friends, so I doubt I'll make any effort to include any specific and elaborate stat'd workings in my future submissions.
It's likely that I'll continue to stick with the pre-Spellplague Realms for now. My current work is actually focused on the end of the war in Tethyr and the coronation of Zaranda, so...

Thinking of the compendium in the context of 'editions' is a fallacy - the CKC is edition-neutral. The only thing that makes 4e usage slightly more difficult is the time-frame that setting is set in.
Lore doesn't have 'editions' - it's Faerūn's history (even if it is homebrew). The article I was planning for the next one was going to be about the history of Guge - an interesting nation SE of the Hordelands that no longer exists... even if you were to play 1eFR. Most adventure-locales are edition-neutral as well - a Netherease or Imaskari ruin will still be a Netherease or Imaskari ruin.
As Wooly has stated, some of us might be writing said aricles with a certain 'timeframe' in-mind, but the way they are written, most could be applied at any time. 4eFR makes it a little harder to do that in some regions, but it should still all work-out. |
