[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7513605, member: 6925649"] SpaceX might go there, they are a private company not a government agency, they can launch their own spaceships, also a planet suddenly appearing out of nowhere would imply an extraterrestrial civilization, they won't be thinking about magic but about some superadvanced technology and first contact with an alien species, maybe something capable of producing wormholes. Now think about what the inhabitants of Toril would be thinking. Elminster would probably be worried, the stars are suddenly different, there are different planets in the sky. Ships at sea would get lost as the stars in the sky would not match the stars on their charts. The farmer probably wouldn't give a shrug, and would wonder what all these learned people, the sages, the wizards and the nobles are all upset about. The typical peasant probably doesn't pay much attention to the planets or stars, so long as the Sun rises and sets, and the Moon shines in the sky, that is all they care about. The Clerics would be praying to their gods trying to find out just what happened. Otherwoise everything else is as it always has been. Ordinary people have more immediate concerns than changes in the constellations. [/QUOTE]
