[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9765736, member: 7030526"] Well it certainly won't be part of Ravenloft, Spelljammer, or Planescape (which I think is really just the Outer Planes, not sure if the Inner Planes count as Planescape too). Really what is and isn't part of a particular setting is extremely fuzzy, because there really is in practice only one setting in D&D, The Multiverse, with FR, DL, GH ect..., being subsettings and some of the those subsettings have subsubsettings like Al Qadim, Kara Tur, Maztica, Arcane Age, etc..., but we call them settings because in some editions they didn't share a multiverse at all, and in fact had their own multiverse. In 3e the Forgotten Realms (probably all of Realmspace really) had it's own cut off Cosmology called The Great Tree I think, with its own set of planes like Brightwater, Gates of the Moon, Bloodrift, Hieropolis, Warrior's Rest, etc... Eberron also had it's own cosmology in 3e the Great Orrey. Then 4e happened and they became semiconnected. And then 5e happened and all the settings remerged like they were in the AD&D days, making things all messy boundaries again. This allows cool interactions between settings, but it also begs the question does D&D have distinct settings any more? But to answer your question yes any setting should have access to Lorwyn, although Athas & Eberron are much harder to travel to and from and isolated as such. Buy by saying Lorwyn is part of the Forgotten Realms Setting, that just means the primary connection story and lore wise appears to be between Lorwyn and Forgotten Realms, but Lorwyn and Toril can be accessed by Planeshift or another spell from any setting. Maybe they will also make Lorwyn accessible via Witchlight Carnaveral, I would, and that can travel to any setting, maybe even Ravenloft. [/QUOTE]
