The DMG already set up the isolated domains in the Shadowfell system; we were never getting the Core back. Curse of Strahd adjusted and rebooted Barovia. The 4e Domains were designed in a similar style. They were never going to bring back the gypsy class or Calibans.If this had come out when Ravnica had, the best would have been more domains would have been evolutions rather then reboots. Gender swapped Darklords might have been descendants. You might have seen a few more core domains like Forlorn over ICath. The Vistani keeping their evil eye and curse powers. Stuff like that. I don't think you'd see DoD 2.0. Even among the fandom, certain domains and tropes were becoming radioactive, like Souragne for example. Unlike Eberron, there was a lot of design elements that didn't match WotC's design aesthetic. Forgotten Realms is facing this kind of change in tone in real time. (See the drow thread). Ravenloft is stark because it's been oop since the early aughts; it is a radical jump rather than the gradual shift Faerun got.</blockquote>
