Problem is, that lore also restricts which Larian obviously was not a fan off. Thus they ignore past lore whenever they please.
If true this is sad to me. If the lore is to restrictive for an IP then use a different IP or create your own gaming world. Grabbing an IP and then ignoring the lore to me is a pure exploitive use of the IP and just lame.
Not much lore was done dirty imo.
The only things that spring to mind is the weak reference to the threat of the Cult of the Dragon (CotD) that Wyll claims to have made his pact to defeat. If you ran those adventures the CotD was at least as powerful as the Absolute. Imo, Mizora simply tricked him and/or he's an unreliable narrator.
Oh, another is Aasimar. Aylin might be a kind of Aasimar, but she is not the usual type.
Also the entire history of Balduran that needed to get rewritten, including a race change. The previous lore about mind flayer and the Gith is also not really followed, Orpheus invented, Karsus never had a crown. Important characters like Fzoul not showing up despite the situation warranting it, another chosen of Mystra that was never mentioned anywhere gets invented, ect.
And yes, Wylls story is also very strange. Thats basically the plot of the Rise of the Dragon Queen adventures. But how? Did Larian just reduce the entire epic adventures which required both huge preparations from the Cult of the Dragon and a large coalition of forces to stop them to some dudes on a field?
Was this a second attempt by the cult, done for some reason right next to a major city, and all this preparation they did previously was not needed?
