Yes, and if they fix the little glitches (like the Shantal Part 3 mislabeling), it'll be one fun fat regional Realms sourcebook that's never seen hard-copy print. Think of it as Volume 2 of POWER OF FAERUN, I suppose: no illustrations but about twice the text . . . love, THO
I'll think of it as the fulfillment of what Ed said so long ago about "one-day" having the opportunity to compile all his BK notes and write-ups into a sourcebook.
For fun, I want to compile the Border Kingdoms articles into a .pdf with all the trappings of a FR sourcebook, as professional looking as I can make it. I'm having problems finding the font they use for them, especially the ones for chapter and section headings. I'll probably have to play around with programs and cannibalize web enhancements for a while.
There's still plenty of published Border Kingdoms to go, and whatever other tidbits Ed has in his notebooks regarding the Kingdoms that have never seen print.
It's more likely WotC simply forgot to update for the next region.
So far these articles are some of the best WotC articles I've red. Great work by Ed. I would have loved to see more geographical features Ed describes on the map. Take for example mountains that are described in the latest article aren't viewable on the map at all.
