I finally got around to reading this. Am I wrong whwn I say that this saying theres nothing realms related in this? Sauter the example city isnt on any mqp or wiki I can find.
Yeah, I checked too and there’s no mention of Sauter anywhere in the maps or wikis. Maybe it’s a standalone concept or a fan idea that hasn’t been documented yet.
I was unimpressed by this product. Because it didn't actually contain any specific cities. It was just a bunch of generic city-generation charts and DM aids. Entirely unnecessary in a setting which was already filled with many highly-detailed cities and settlements you could pull out on demand.
A lot of late-2E-era stuff used Realms branding to sell generic (and otherwise unsellable) D&D stuff. It didn't even contain a "where to use this or put this in the your Realms" addendum. This was one such product.
Some of the 3E web articles were also clearly rebranded generic material. I'm convinced at least one published adventure was originally written for a sci-fi setting, too.
