Dweomerkeeper and the Nightcloak have been updated in the CD web enhancement
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20040522a
All the FR goodness has of cause been sucked out of it.
Also I imagine Eric Boyd, Erik Mona and Sean Reynolds are going to be quite ticked off with this "Designers David Noonan and Skip Williams bring you four new prestige classes for divine characters,"
There is not a single mention of Eric Boyd, Erik Mona, the Forogtten realms or Faithes and Pantheons in the article!

While the Dweomerkeeper has always been one of my favorite PrC, I think I'll be sticking to it's working in the Faiths and Pantheons tome (and just update it into 3.5e myself).
I can understand the removal of specific Realmsian detail though, especially for the aforementioned PrC. It has the potential to be incorporated into many different settings, not the least of which would by Greyhawk.

Not surprising. Thank you for the link Dargoth. |

Ick. Sigh. Sorry to hear that for WOTC's sake. 
Apologies if I came across to cynical on the timeline idea. But, when you have something like this ...it doesn't help my mood towards WOTC's handling of the Realms.

There is no mention made of Unnaproachable East in the resource credits, although the FRCS, Magic of Faerun (where's the material from that tome in CD?), and Faiths and Pantheons all receive their due.
As for the 'Black Flame Zealot', both the Forgotten Realms and Kossuth are both mentioned in the 'Adaptation' part of the class write-up. As well as this, there is mention of Talos in the details of the 'Stormlord' PrC.

*Scoff* How amusing
Shouldnt they have posted it in all its FR glory and had an "Adaption" part that tells people how to adapt it to there own campaign/Setting?
Apparently people are incapable of converting FR material for themselves |

It has been printed it in all its FR glory, essentially . The only real differences between the two entries - aside from the update to 3.5e and a few word changes to make the text easier to understand - is the fact that there is no mention of Thay made. However the Order is...
The 'Adaptation' part of the class write-up, serves to make it easier for players and DMs to adapt campaign-specific classes for other settings.
