No one really cares that much about the D&D lore

You uh ... might want to walk that back a little before they show up.

The keyword here is the. Lots of folks care about D&D lore, but the official cannon is not sacred. It’s nice to have, but it’s a starting point, a framework, an inspiration.

No, they're right. The Forgotten Realms novels have been incredibly popular for decades.
