Editing Kara-Tur (section)

==Publication History==
Kara-Tur was written for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], debuting in its 1st edition and then being ported to the [[Forgotten Realms]] and expanded upon in 2nd edition. Sadly, this remain's the setting's height, and it has only declined from there.

The first sign of Kara-Tur's fall was in [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], when it was booted from the 3.0 [[Oriental Adventures]] update, with the role of the "example setting" instead going to [[Rokugan]]. Yes, that's right, [[Wizards of the Coast]] took one look at this setting and decided that it was such a ''bad'' example of a Japanese D&D setting that they decided it would be better to buy the licensing rights to the setting of [[Legend of the Five Rings]] instead!

There were a couple of [[Dragon Magazine]] and [[Dungeon Magazine]] appearances for Kara-tur in the 3e era, but it never saw its own [[splatbook]].

Even in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], Kara-Tur made no appearances, until [[Dragon Magazine]] #404 was devoted entirely to "oriental D&D" content and so used Kara-tur as a backdrop.

There have been no appearances of Kara-tur in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], only mention it still exists and immigration from Shou Lung is a thing.
