It is, of its very nature, expressed hegemonically. It just is true, and known historical events (like the thing I mentioned above, where Arcadia lost one of its layers to Mechanus for being too Lawful and insufficiently Good) are just...known facts.That layer, by the way, was called <a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Nemausus" target="_blank">Nemausus</a>. It was the most beautiful of Arcadia's originally-three layers, but it's been part of Mechanus for so long (despite the Harmonium attempting to reclaim it for Arcadia) that it's difficult to tell it was ever anywhere else.If that isn't an explicit demonstration of the Great Wheel being pure fact, I don't know what is.Do you have a quotation handy from the 5.5e DMG on the cosmology, by the way? You probably won't be surprised to know that I don't own one and have negative interest in buying one, but it really, truly would be nice to see ANY Great Wheel-based book that actually deigns to allow even the slimmest chance of other cosmologies actually being valid.</blockquote>
