My challenge was specifically to the idea that Eberron’s crystal sphere broke, and it’s shards made the Ring of Syberis. That isn’t the case. What is the case, in 5e, is simply that the Ring of Syberis shields Eberron from the rest of the multiverse, and that it can be treated as weakening quite recently. What I’ll be doing, because I don’t like the change to the nature of the progenitor dragons implied by this lore change, is ignoring all of that. Eberron exists as a separate universe, not a separate crystal sphere. Corellon didn’t create elves in Eberron. Full stop. And when I run nentir vale, Nerule is dead and the Raven Queen took his place. Some worlds benefit from being part of the same universe, separated only by crystal spheres and space. Others don’t. Changing the nature of the world to fit a cinematic universe is something that should only be done if it makes the specific setting better. Also, it’s still a single multiverse if Eberron and Ravnica are separate universes. It fits the term better, in fact. Multiple parallel universes is the normal usage of “multiverse”. What Mearls and Crawford describe is just...a universe.</blockquote>
