Someday I'm gonna make a video called "Why Indie Game Devs Understand That 4th Ed Was the Best D&D (and Why Traditional Audiences Hated It)"

As someone who only just started reading 4th ed books this year, the quality of its game design is INSPIRING. Nentir Vale is evocative and a great fit for 5e, too (though not without its flaws). #dnd.Tieflings and dragonborn in particular fit perfectly into the Vale. No surprise, given that they were essentially reimagined for that edition/setting, but still! I've always felt tiefs and dborn were underserved in the Realms, just they're cuz they're in the PHB. Not so here!

Like they're just there 'cuz they're in the PHB*

I still see dragonborn through the lens of DL draconians and tieflings through Planescape. Putting them back into worlds whole cloth is revisionist, so if they can do that, I hope they can fix other issues moving forward. This is a great point.
