Sure, but honestly I think even WotC sees it as part of FR. From this point I think things become interestingly debatable as FR starts over lapping with other settings. Realmspace is it more Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, joint custody, something else? And the divine afterlives, Fugitive Plane seems 100% FR as no other setting seems to use it, but what about Godly domains that are specific to FR Gods like Shar, Selune, Torm, Bhaal, etc...? And what of the ecoplanes? I think the Feywild & Shadowfell mirrors of Toril other worlds in Realmspace would count as FR, but not say Feywild & Shadowfell the mirror worlds for Oerth. It just seems messy compared say Star Trek or Star Wars, Middle Earth, Doctor Who, etc..., which have harder barriers then FR. Warhammer is somewhere in the middle between D&D settings and most other fantasy/sci fi settings. Thoughts?</blockquote>
