Most folks get the idea of Fairyland or the Shadow Realm, even if there's dozens of totally distinct ways to cash out each one. Which, I think, is a pretty big reason why that part of the World Axis was adopted almost totally wholesale into the neo-Great Wheel. The Feywild and Shadowfell are just too useful to ignore; they capture what you've called genre without being particularly exclusionary.Now, if only we can persuade folks to do the same to the inner and outer planes! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
