Nothing major, I would say.

Barsaive is the present-day Ukraine (sp?). Find an atlas and look up a map
of the area between/above the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, then compare
it to the map in the back of the ED rulebook -- the similaritied are
obvious.

The great dragon Mountainshadow has a human agent by the name of
Darktooth; translate Dunkelzahn into English and guess what it means...?

There are windlings, but only in very small numbers. If you have
Paranormal Animals of Europe, look at page 94 for the sprite. If you don't
have that book: windlings are found in Tir na nOg under the name sprite.

As for t'skrang and obsidimen, the more or less official version of it is
that they were destroyed while hibernating during the Fifth World -- after
all, how are present-day human miners to tell the difference between a
near-dead obsidiman and a rock with interesting minerals in it?

If you want to include them in your SR campaign anyway, the easiest
explanation is that the mana level has to rise further than it has in SR
before they Awaken, like you suggested.
