The gods: how about all you dead ones coming back, ey?
Drizzt: stop being so emo and ditch Dahlia. Oh, and see his father again. And get Guen back!
Elves: stop with the whole moon elf, gold elf, green elf thing. You're all elves
Jarlaxle: just appear again
Valas: same as Jarl
Mystra: no more dying
Drow: more stories about Es and Vs (though apparently Wizards isn't interested in that)
More Unbroken Chain novels by Jeleigh Johnson
Araevin: s'up?
Shevarash: don't be corrupted by Shar, 'kay?
Authors whose works have been pushed to the wayside because of the Sundering to NOT have their works pushed to the wayside
See a follow-up book or two to Chosen of Nendawen (sp?). There was still so much to be done in that series, IMO.

That sounds more like your wishlist, CD. You're breaking the 4th wall (I did that once, in a game session... but thats a story for another time).
Olive Ruskettle: Become the head of the Harpers (at least the eastern group)
Alias: Spend more 'family time' with my sisters
Dragonbait: "--------------" {the smell of cookies}
Nezram: {upon finally returning to Faerūn} What the hell happened?! {rolls up his sleeves} Time to fix things....

Arilyn: Help more elves. Get a less annoying sword. Put on some weight. Not kill Elaith.
Danilo: Finally figure out a way to get Arilyn into that dress from the end of Elfshadow. Make Arilyn laugh more. Make Elaith squirm.
Liriel: Have fun! |

I kind of imagine Batman saying something like this... only having Gotham replace Helm in the wording.  |

| Actually, I don't think Phaeraun is happy being dead. He's in Lolth's realm, after all. |

That was actually a jibe towards him being resurrected only to die a pointless death again. |

| Which is exactly why he wouldn't want to die a final death, because he'd be in Lolth's realm. I'm a Phaeraun fan, and I got excited when he was resurrected, and mad when he was suddenly killed off again. |

I liked him, too. But I'd rather him stay dead than be resurrected and tossed away like a useless rag doll. |

I am tired of Pharaun being everyone's punching bag. The ending of the WotSQ = worst ending EVER (for me). It was a completees pointless after thought to kill him. They might as well have said, "Lolth farted and Pharaun couldn't take the smell. The end." It was just THAT BAD (for me).
I have an idea... I am going to make a demand: If something worthwhile isn't done with Pharaun in 5e, I will WALK AWAY FROM THE REALMS FOREVER. There... I said it. I just handed 'the powers that be' the ability to 'swat me like an annoying fly' (since I know some of them think of me that way). The gauntlet has been thrown. |

Wow, that's quite the declaration. Phaeraun was one of my favorite characters in WotSQ (along with Ryld and Valas), and I was thrilled when he appeared in EO. But then they killed him again. If they don't do anything with him in 5e, I won't walk away, but it would be nice to see. He got totally ripped off, IMO, especially with his second death. He died in Celestia (I think that was the place) fighting for the "good" side, if you will, and I personally think he should have been rewarded for that, even though he told Taraun he thought Tyr (or maybe it was Torm) a cad. But still, going back to the Abyss/Demonweb Pits? Bleh. Then again, this is coming from a girl who is fascinated by souls and the afterlife in the Realms, so naturally I focus on that aspect, LOL.
I'd like to see Phaeraun in the future, but it sounds like Wizards will be doing limited work with the drow. Maybe in 5.5 or 6e, if there is such a thing? Still, that would be a long time from now. So while I won't leave the Realms just because of what happens to Phaeraun, it would be nice to see something done--and not a negative something. I could be wrong, but he was a pretty popular character. |

I don't even care if they say he is dead of as of 5e, just do something with him other then make him a Mary-Sue (or Anti-Mary Sue) punching-bag.
<snip> Man, did I go on a rant (that I since erased).
I am just so tired of authors taking parts of the Realms (Irayclea) and killing them just to prove how uber-cool their characters are. HEY! How about leaving some toys for the folks paying for this setting?  |

I am not entirely sure about that.  I would hope that to be the case, but I would not hold my breath. New editions mean new money.
I just hope that they do not push a RSE to explain a new edition. 5.5

Limited work with the drow? Are you saying they'd deliberately prevent money from pouring in? Nah, I seriously doubt that. |

Yeah, if anything they would rename Toril 'The Planet Drizzt' and produce a Menzo book every other week, if they thought they could get away with it.
Now, if anyone over there had a half a brain, they'd be thinking about releasing a "Forgotten Realms' card set for MtG, around the same time a 5e Realms Guide is released. If you are going to use one IP to prop-up another, you may as well tie them together somehow.
A world connected to all other worlds, a card-game based on Planeswalkers... it really sells itself. Their advertising can then do double-duty. 
EDIT: Sheesh... talk about going off-topic! Back to our regularly scheduled thread...
Fzoul: Star in a theater production called "Magnum P.I"
Manshoon: Find a can-opener... it gets hot in this thing...
Mirt: Find another orphan-girl to raise (since the last one worked out so well )
King Obould: Scratch my butt. Then maybe kill sumthin. |

| I could be wrong, considering it is still earlier in the game, but I heard WotC wasn't interested in doing anything with the drow that wasn't tied to Lolth (I suppose Drizzt would be an exception). |
