It would make sense that the realms would have a word for the eastern realm.  The populous of the greyhawk area would have deep seated traditions that they were trying to get away from the west, so they might not have a name for it.   I find the similar technology but subtle differences to be perfectly the difference in culture.  the Greyhawk/REalms/Wilderlands/NG World/Blackmoor have the potential to be derived form the same culture.  The Flan culture is very different than the Seul/Oridain cultures.  All those are very different than Baklunish culture.  Seul/Oridian could relate to Faerunian cultures as they did come from the east.  Faerun has a bunch of different cultures.  I also find dragonlance to have various different cultures.  Also having a bunch of wizards popping around the world teaching people would tend to homogenise the technologies.  Naw it could work really well.  If you haven't noticed in all the settings (well DL and FR and GH) there are vague rumors as to what lies across the seas.  Indicating that in none of them do people make a major effor to cross them.  The only exception is Amn in FR (and they found the southern NGWorld, he.. he..)</blockquote>
