Oggi esce la Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide ecco quello che si sa da varie fonti...
Information from the FRCG
Zhentarim
Orbakh is the only surviving Manshoon clone and leads the Zenths (mainly consisting out of Cyric guys now) from Stormwatch and Darkhold.
The Zenths fight the Yakuza.
The Baneites΄made a deal with the Phaerim to controll the Dalelands.
The Shades heard from that deal and destroyed Zhentil Keep. After that the Baneites fled, leaving the Cyric guys in charge.
The goal of the new Zenths is freeing Cyric from his prison.
Zhentil Keep is still in ruins and apparently inhabited by robbers and pirates.
Deities
Mask is gone, but his exact faith is not mentioned.
Cyric is still imprisoned and gets more insane. His clerics are not affected by all this.
Deities have spheres again instead of portfolios
Shar is Shadow based now instead of Darkness.
Obould has the "Warrior" sphere.
Fzoul has the "Service to Evil" sphere (divine butler?).
Every deity not on the list is unavailable, but their exact fates is not always stated (for example Mask).
Exarch = Demigod = ~Demigod Epic Destiny
Masks's realm still exists. His former chosen visit from time to time and it is rumoured that it is filled with treasure.
Torm got Tyr's Job and the sphere of Law and now sits in the realm of Cellestia. Hes especially worshipped in the Paladin realm of Elturgard.
Tyr was apparently killed while fighting off a demon invasion. Cryric or his followers had likely something to do with that or even stroke the killing blow.
Velsharoon was destroyed.
Bane
Hoar likely serves Bane.
Tiamat serves Bane.
Loviatar is Banes consort.
The church of bane is still strong, even with the loss of Zenthil Keep and the citadel of the Raven.
Bane taking Lovitar as consort was a political move. He is now worshipped also by evil dwarfs. Also, he absorbed the goblin deities further strengthening himself.
Afterlife
Kelemvor apparently has to deal with all the dead now, not only with the False&Faithless. The deities only pick souls up they really like.
No mention of the Wall found.
Souls can fade away out of existence.
Souls that refuse to pass on come back as ghosts and other incorporeal beings.

Rashemen was not affected much by the Spellplague, except that it is now home of even more fey.
