So, for years, Myth Drannor was this ruined city of ancient elven magicks, full of demons and devils and dragons and pools of radiance-s and all kinds of other neat things. The classic place for adventurers to cut their teeth on when they felt they were ready for real danger.
Well, fourth edition happened and the city was reclaimed and 'civilized' again. And then fifth edition happened, and a floating city got dropped on it.
I want to have my players visit the city in it's current state (just a few years after the fall of Shade). I know it's ultimately up to me as the DM to decide what it looks like, but I want to know if anyone has had their own games take place in the New Ruins of Myth Drannor.
What does it look like now? Is it just a crater? Is just mountains of once magically-strengthened buildings collapsing into one another? What lives there now?
Just curious what other people have thought on this.
According to what Ed Greenwood said in a article (it’s in WOTC’s oficial site) the fall of Shade only destroyed the center of the city, Myth Drannor was huge and Tulthantar was smaller, but the elves abandoned the whole city. It probably would look more abandoned than destroyed (except where Tulthantar fall), The Tree of Souls is ok, being protected by Baelnorns and their magic. I don’t know anything else about it.
No, but there’s an old 2e boxed set called Ruins of Myth Drannor that describes the city in its heyday. Pretty sure it’s on DTRPG. My personal theory is that the fall of Shade created a temporal bubble, and inside the bubble the vibrant and bustling city of Myth Drannor hovers on the cusp of destruction just a few weeks before it falls to the fiendish hordes. Hope you like the idea 😊. Let me know if you end up using it.

Absent official word, you're free to do as you wish, though most likely it's a whole lot of rubble with the occasional semi-intact husk of a building.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
