I think it's an article in a Dungeon a few months ago. |

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Winter's Hall.... what is that again? Not related to Winter's Keep, is it? |

these aspects of FR seem somewhat better than before:
* Vaasa, warlock knights are decent villains comparing to the earhunting
* Calimshan, only the increased genasi population
* Shou expansion, brings more cultural diversity, you don't have to travel far to get it
* the size of Anauroch being reduced
* the Tormite heresy
* adding slums to Baldur's Gate
* Airspur, a better alternative to the half-orcs, nothing spectacular though
* Winter's Hall
* sharn origins
* Zhentarim no longer being controlled by Bane
* rebellious Thayvian enclaves, tough they got to far after that
* Myth Nantar being elevated
* Simbarchs of Aglarond
* geographical changes in eastern Shaar (except the hole), Azulduth
* fey being more important, some gods becoming archfey
* reducing Anauroch in size
not sure about
* Elfharrow, the Misty Vale should have stayed, there was plenty of room around (e.g. the Bandit Wastes)
* Elturgard
Either you really like this, or you accidentally listed it twice.  |

Winter's Hall is Auril's domain (Dragon 367 http://www.wizards.com/dnd/TOC.aspx?x=dnd/4new/drtoc/367).
Wow! Thanks for the link! Excellent! |

If I may indulge in some light thread-necromancy...
I've heard tell that the 2e FR map had a fair bit more blank-ish space on it than the 3e map, which apparently compressed some areas (Erlkazar among others, I believe). With 4e, it seems the bank (well, primed) canvases are back; half the western heartlands and lands of intrigue, for example, are completely vacant, leaving plenty of space for your own madness. One of the reasons I love the silver marches is because it's sparcely populated (three major cities in a narea the size of France) despite being pretty lore rich (also a plus) and can accomodate anything I can think of, within reason. |
