If only we'd made "more than one book about worlds other than the Forgotten Realms."

Except the planes aren't universal and accessible from any setting.

What about more content for the Planes? They’re universal & can be accessed from any campaign setting, right? The DMG & PHB have only a few paragraphs on each. Separate books/modules (e.g. ToA, Avernus) for Abyss, Beastlands, Limbo, etc. could be useful to fans of any setting. Eberron has its own planar cosmology, as do the MtG settings.

And most homebrew settings I've played have their own unique cosmology too.

The planes are far from universal.

Eberron is a weird one. It's like it's own Material Plane pocket, a bubble within the D&D multiverse, but cut off from it by the Ring of Siberys.

The Magic planes are from a different multiverse entirely, accessible by denizens of the D&D multiverse, but difficult and dangerous.

is there any official precedent for Elven Barbarians in the Forgotten Realms? Asking for a friend, who is me. Sure. Many wild elves are barbarians (and rangers, for that matter), and this is in published canon Realmslore.#Realmslore

Is there some form of standardized banking throughout the Realms? Even something localized among the three major cities of the Sword Coast (Neverwinter, Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate)? If so, how are funds made available and account balances known? My players are asking. See the “Money Matters” chapter of the "Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster’s Forgotten Realms" sourcebook (no, I didn’t come up with that title!).
It covers temples offering banking, rollcoins, moneylenders, and manycoins businesses. (In some places, guilds also bank.)#Realmslore

@TheEdVerse If Elminster can go back and forth from our world and Forgotten Realms using his magic doesn't that mean the Weave is here as well? Or did he get stuck here until he learned how to access our world's magic (assuming we have it still)?

1)
Elminster, being a Weave anchor, brings a long, tenuous strand of the Weave with him. He usually jaunts between Toril and Earth via existing gates (portals), and knows many ways back, so is never “stuck.”
He knows how to access magic on Earth, thanks to many… 2)
…visits and much experimenting.
If an Earth person went the other way, and happened to have the Gift (ability to wield the Art = arcane magic; not all do), they could experiment, and be trained, and so learn to work magic in the Realms. Safe handling comes slow.#Realmslore
