[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9736751, member: 6802378"] We can't forget the possible secrets of the Pristine Tower. Maybe this is the cause of "new" PC species or monsters appearing in Athas. I guess the best option for the metaplot would be to tell a couple of clues and the own fandom will invent a lot of ideas about what could happen in the future. I doubt to watch the stats of the SKs for 5e because they are epic levels. I imagine a future sourcebook with a title like "Traveler's guide of the shatered lands". And it wouldn't only about the region of Tyr but also other apocaliptic settings, like a reimagination of Gamma World. Maybe Rajaat didn't start being so evil but he was affected by the Pristine Tower in some way, and this happened because Pristine Tower isn't working rightly, like those sci-fi stories where a machine starts to malfuction and to cause serious troubles. I guess WotC team has understood a good setting has to allow different facts to be happening in different places without links to the main metaplot. The Dark Powers of Ravenloft could allow a planar gate between Kalidnai and Athas to mock those who try to escape the demiplane. Vecna and other factions or powers could use Athas to hide things because there are zones where nobody goes there. What if druids created secret demiplanes like biomas to save biodiversity? Or something like "domains of delight" within the "Land-within-the wind". What if there is an echo plane where arcane and divine magic can't work and then only planar travel is possible using primal or spirit magic/psionic? What if the orbyriths could act in Athas causing potential menaces? [/QUOTE]
