Partly that.

But also thinking about how someone familiar with Greyhawk would perceive your variant version of it as clearly different. Revealing that your variant was in fact a demiplane of dread could be a shock/AHA! moment.

Greyhawk as a demiplane frees you to go darker with your storylines. It creates deeper mysteries.

I like this theory but wasn’t this piece by Larry Elmore? I’ve never seen him without a beard.
