[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1369672, member: 8461"] I personally don't agree with it either. However, the difference is that that decision came from the top. Canonity is source-based. There has to be a singular authoritative voice that declares what is official and what is not. This authority has the ability to declare that previous things of theirs are no longer canon; in essence, they can declare when they're implementing a new paradigm in place of an old one. Planewalker, while invested with a measure of authority by WotC, is still taking on a retcon that is beyond their scope. I do not perceive them as having the authority to declare that a product that WotC themselves has no canonity issues with, must now be partially non-canon - authority over what is and is not canon flows from the top down, not from the bottom up. I don't like the 3E FR retconing of the cosmology and deity realms, but that's a personal pet peeve, and has no impact on the fact that that's how it is now. [/QUOTE]
