[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 8002574, member: 75077"] I don't want to be a "fantasy cop" because anyone can run their games or envision their fantasy environments however they would like. But, as someone who ran Spelljammer at my table when it first came out and who has listened to all of the Dragon Talk interviews over the years wherein Jeremy Crawford, Chris Perkins, Matt Cernak, and others communicate how they think about these things, I would merely offer that I am reasonably sure (I could always be wrong) that this is not the way the multiverse was conceived in either 2nd edition or in 5th edition. In those editions, I am reasonably certain that the position expressed in either the products (Spelljammer) or the Wizards of the Coast-sanctioned interviews with the current creative team, is that the worlds of Athas, Krynn, Mystara, etc. are all part of the same Material Plane and are separated in distinct crystal spheres. The Inner Planes are not unique to each crystal sphere. So, at least from these [I]official[/I] sources that I mention, the Elemental Plane of Fire that might be accessed from Krynn is the same one that might be accessed from Oerth or Abeir-Toril. The same would be said of any of the Inner Planes or Transitive Planes. Again, I am not meaning to step on how you run things. It's a fantasy game and everyone is free to imagine it how they might, but this is my understanding about how the crystal spheres were conceived in the 1990s and by the current creative team at Wizards of the Coast.
