And Steven gave an in game reason for the name change in his Candlekeep Collection of books, since that tome was supposed to be called Volo's Guide to the Lands of Intrigue. :)

Scererar, does that include modules that are based on video games that also come out as books (Pool of Radiance....Curse of the Azure Bonds)? And BG2 has a guide by Volo if I recall, still not good enough for canon???

anyway...

Does anyone think (or any insiders can possibly comment on) that Lathander's Deliverance is going to take the stage soon as a realms event (such as Thousand Orcs, WOSQ or Year of Rogue Dragons)? Does anyone get the feeling that these events are definately tied together or is this just a case of new crunch (Initiate of Amaunator and Heretic of the Faith - PoF) conflicting with old fluff (Lathander's lore FaP)?
