"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." Alaundo of Candlekeep
I've only recently read Storm King's Thunder. I liked many elements of the campaign. It's a good book!
I as DM would run this campaign at some pre-Spellplague point. Before the 4th edition. (I really only love the Realms until the 2nd edition, and I like the 3rd edition a little bit, but only then, lol)
There was one detail that disappointed me: King Hekaton. The statistics of them are very medicres like "the king of all the giants". We're talking about Forgotten Realms. He has to be far more powerful than the one in the book.
