The situation with the Feywild is a perfect metaphor for the setting, and a perfect blending of the 4th Edition cosmology and the Dark Sun setting concepts.The Feywild in 4th Edition has always been a place of two things: unfiltered arcane magic given by Corellon, and an exaggerated reflection of the real world's natural environment. In the new setting fluff Athas is a place where the Primordials defeated the Gods, warping the world with their presence. With no more Corellon to spread arcane magic, its supply is limited. With the Primordials ruling the setting, elemental forces are naturally destructive and are unmaking the world, starting with living things. Not only is the Feywild's sustaining supply of arcane magic dwindling in the hands of Defilers, but environmental destruction is turning the plane into a reflection of the desert, further destroying it.Guys? Figuratively and literally, the Feywild is drying up.</blockquote>
