I'm perfectly willing to chalk up the differences purely to the terminology used by the Athasians to describe the same planes that the rest of the multiverse defaulted to different names for. What an Athasian might have called a paraelemental plane of sun, might have been a region of elemental fire, or quasielemental radiance, or simply the region of elemental fire that bordered upon the ethereal boundary closest to the Gray of Athas. It might honestly be a combination of both different names for the same sets of planes, and localized differences in those planes where the Athasian Gray held some local influence. The Athasian would be familiar with such regions, but the average planewalker would likely never come across it compared to the rest of the infinity of that particular elemental plane.</blockquote>
