Overall, though, I suspect if you'll want to reconcile the pre-5E and 5E versions of Ravenloft (both of which have interacted with other canonical D&D settings), you're going to have to assume the Time of Unparalleled Darkness (or something else) did a Crisis on Infinite Earths and rebooted the entire setting. (Fortunately, the Grand Conjunction established a sort-of precedent.)</blockquote>
