So you are actually defending the pseudomedieval pseduoTolkien knockoffs of Greyhawk, The core of the Forgotten Realms, and Dragonlance as unique richly rendered worlds? Really? By what standard? Compared to Glorantha, Kulthea, Mythic Europe, or Harn they look like patchwork continents filled with modern day people with medieval technology. I'm not saying all TSR/WotC worlds are that way Eberron, Dark Sun, and even Red Steel had wonderful flair that is seriously lacking in either Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms. So if you put a realm that is a knockoff of another culture in either of those two worlds then it is par for the course and matches just fine with the blandness of Cormyr or the City of Greyhawk.
