Well we know where getting
Ancient Empires (due out in March 05)
We also know where getting a Waterdeep source book which will concide with Ed and Elaines novel (So we'll probably get that source book in August 05)
It has also been hinted at that there will be a book in July 05 which will feature some of the FRs home Grown Arch Fiends ie Eltab, Dendar etc
We also now have the following from Gwen K in the MM3 interview
"Currently, I'm working on a Forgotten Realms project that explores some of the darker aspects of the setting."
Which Im guessing refers to the July book source book
and that only takes us up to August 2005, there may we'll be a 4th unannounced FR book floating around for Chrissy 2005

| That's it hey? hmm... so I guess we'll have to wait to 4th edition for a book on Cormyr/Sembia/Dales (if I go by the rumor that 4th edition is happening in 2006... hopefully not though) |

That would be a very good guess Dargoth... by the way, has anything canon happened with the Fire Knives since Cloak and Dagger (which I shamefully do not own, and by looking at other sources, notably LoD, not much is found on them...)
I'm wondering if the Fire Knives will end up being assimilated or absorbed within the Night Masks... the LoD text seems to support that event happening in the future, unless something major happens to the Fire Knives and empowers the Grandfather of Assassins to retain his control over the young recruits.
My guess - and it's just my opinion - is that the Fire Knives are really on the way out, and that they will just be taken within the Night Masks. Let's face it: they live and Westgate and are constantly held back by an old fool bent on killing Cormyr's nobility... not sustainable.
I'd go as far as saying that WotC is probably not planning to release the Fire Knife Assassin PrC because they won't be existing anymore... otherwise it would be like releasing the "Tilverton Guard" PrC (i.e. knowing that Tilverton is a big crater...) |

Actually I dont think Wizards will roll up the Fire Knives
infact theyve probably never been in a better position to do away with the Cormyrian royal family
Theres only one one heir avaliable and theres only 2 other members of the Royal family ie Alusair and her mother.
As for the Night masks well if it ever becomes to much of a problem then they can simply leave Westgate and travel to another city that would favour their aims ie Darkhold, Zhentil Keep or Sembia.

Bunch of people talking at my local gaming store... nothing from anybody official, don't you worry! :)
However, when do you think it would make sense for WotC to roll out the new edition? (think as a businessman not a fan...) |

If you can find the thread where I linked an interview with the D&D Brand Manager, this subject is addressed by him in one of the questions. |

Rich Baker had this to say on the WotC Boards the other day:
"Sure, I think there's a decent chance (for an "Old Empires" 3.5 revision) --but it won't be for a year or two. Our next couple of "geography" books are likely heading elsewhere. However, we recognize that the Old Empires book is about the oldest/most dated of the 2E sourcebooks out there, and we're overdue for a return to the Old Empires. It's just a matter of prioritizing where we think people are interested in playing vs. what haven't we covered before (or in a very long time).
Calimport might wait a little longer, because we had good stuff on the Lands of Intrigue fairly late in 2nd Ed. I think there's less urgency to go back there."

Now, a bitter, cynical sort of person might say "Oh, so WotC admits there were things published before they took over?"
Fortunately, I'm not a bitter, cynical sort of person.
