Well, obviously, lots of the time we're going to write about things that have happened after the fact. I mean, we're not...I dunno, we're not writing speculative sourcebooks or something. Of course we're going to use adventures and plot hooks to try and "do" things, but mostly be writing about things after they're done.
But my issue with what happened to the Tir? It was writing about stuff that had happened years after the fact. Or, failing that, it was not writing about things, and giving us nothing to work with (while still discussing stuff that happened years earlier). It was just a really weird little corner of the game that was kind of swept under the rug for several years, for various reasons. After wedging my foot in the door and getting their attention with a few other projects, I'm just very glad I got the opportunity to try and shine a light on the Tir again and get folks into the elf playground a little bit.
