Eladrin are Super-Elves who live in the Fairie plane. On surface, it'd be really easy to say "they don't fit Athas" and not allow them. Especially since they had no "historical" prescident before 4e either. Yet WotC found a way to integrate them. That is so much cooler than "Due to the lack of connection to the Feywild, there are no Eladrin on Athas". There are times hardline no's cannot be avoided (orcs on Athas or Krynn for example) but those should be things that are important to the setting (such as orc's role in the game going to draconians). But I'd rather see those moments be fewer and poignant rather than "its not the way it was in 2e". Anyone who wants to use the world as it was in 2e is a PDF on DM's Guild away; the updated versions should be UPDATED. The 4e Dark Sun and Eberron, 3e Realms and Dragonlance, and Arthaus Ravenloft should be the Gold Standard on how to make a setting fit with a new edition's rules. I think if WotC has any honest intention of updating those settings, they will resemble THOSE products closer* than the 1e/2e box set versions.Personally, I hope I can roll-up a Dray (dragonborn) Warlock (templar pact) in 5e Dark Sun. Grow and evolve.</blockquote>
