[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 4584178, member: 907"] For most of the setting's life, Dark Sun was just as connected to the Wheel as any other setting, though it was de-emphasised. Even so, you had Dragon Kings (one of the first books for the setting) refer to the Inner planes, the Black Spine adventure had an invasion of Githyanki (and assorted other planar stuff), City by the Silt Sea had a psionic mirror that could be used for planar travel, and The Will and The Way had psychoportation powers used for connecting to both inner and outer planes. I also recall seeing references to Dark Sun in a Planescape book or two (probably In the Cage and/or Planewalker's Handbook). It wasn't until one of the product lines last sourcebooks, Defilers & Preservers (1996, one of three books released in the product line's last year), that the concept of the Grey blocking planar travel showed up. It was still part of the Wheel cosmology, it was just hard to get there. It was officially off the grid from Spelljamming since 1992 though, when (IIRC) the Complete Spacefarer's Handbook mentioned that the sphere with Athas in it was not on any known space charts, or something like that.
