I'll give you two VERY good examples of shoehorning: Planescape and Spelljammer in the Dragonlance setting. There was at inception no heavens, hells, Bytopias, Olympias, etc. - There was the World, the Abyss, Reorx's Forge, wherever the heck Paladine and the Gods of Good stayed, and THAT WAS IT. Linking the Great Wheel to Dragonlance did it a disservice. Same with Spelljammer - in order to explain why no ships visited Krynn, they had to make the "sphere" cold and inaccessible and dangerous! Come to think of it, they had to CLOSE OFF Athas to Spelljammer - no one could make a dent in its crystal sphere, man or god, and that's how it had to be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />That's why you still have to have a dividing line, but the line shouldn't step over something as basic as Gods or Races or Classes.</blockquote>
