Hence, Ao destroyed the Tablets largely in disgust for how the gods had been acting.Given that, he's now recreating them to lay down the law for how things will be from now on.You use that word, but I don't think you know what it means.Defilers & Preservers stipulated that someone trying to reach the planes through the Grey had a 33% chance of reaching the Inner Planes, or a 5% chance of reaching the Outer Planes (or vice versa, for someone coming from the planes to Athas) - low chances, to be sure, but not inconceivable.Likewise, the Planar Gate that Dregoth used (found in City by the Silt Sea and then again in Psionic Artifacts of Athas) allowed for faultless planar travel to and from Athas. And that's not even getting into the Black Spine adventure, which was about a githyanki invasion of Athas (which is somewhat reminiscent of the "Incursion" mini-campaign that would appear in Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron in 2003).I won't even get into the various small instances of Dark Sun material that was to be found in the products for other campaign settings (e.g. an Athasian life-shaped artifact in Tcian Sumere - the fortress of Tenebrous (that is, Orcus) on the Negative Energy Plane in Dead Gods).</blockquote>
