I'm looking forward to this one.Still, I am of the camp that you shouldn't just isolate Dark Sun from the general 4E world axis cosmology. Things like the Athas Feywild or the Athas Shadowfell could be really interesting. Similarly, just ignoring the newer 4E races seems like it would be making the 4e version too subordinate to the older version, when you could do so many more interesting things simply by making the new races fit the setting.For example... Give the Eladrin their scattered verdant Feywild oases and beautiful magic castles, except make it so they have to be magically maintained, and the Eladrin almost all use powerful Defiler magic. Thus the Eladrin are creatures who continually accelerate the demise of all living beings in order to create a false image of the green world that Athas once was. The Blood Elves of World of Warcraft and the figure of Yu Yevon from Final Fantasy X both come to mind for various reasons... With such a change, you could make it so the average Eladrin is totally evil, and most PC Eladrin are the good exceptions who stand against their own kind, making them a twisted mirror image of traditional Drow.</blockquote>
