D&D 5E What D&D Product Can Be Seen In The Crystals?

WotC has posted an image of a pile of crystals through which distorted glimpses of what looks like a product can be seen. In the comments below, folks have been flipping, enhancing, and generally squinting at the image behind the crystals, and while it's hard to make out, guesses include 'Journey Through the Radiant Ocean' (although I personally think that first letter looks more like an X or...

WotC has posted an image of a pile of crystals through which distorted glimpses of what looks like a product can be seen. In the comments below, folks have been flipping, enhancing, and generally squinting at the image behind the crystals, and while it's hard to make out, guesses include 'Journey Through the Radiant Ocean' (although I personally think that first letter looks more like an X or K than a J). 'Citadel' is also a popular guess for that last word--'Journey(s) to/from the Radiant Citadel'? Take a look and see what you think (or check the comments for flipped and enhanced versions).

In Spelljammer lore, the phlogiston--the space between the crystal spheres in which the prime material worlds can be found--is also known as the 'Rainbow Ocean'. And crystal seem on-brand for crystals spheres.

Below the text, the image appears to be of some kind of marketplace. Above it, WotC wrote "Through the depths of the Ethereal Plane is a beacon of possibility and adventure... "

There was apparently a press event today, pending some kind of product announcement on Tuesday.

And Ghosts of Saltmarsh has a huge section for random encounters and plot hooks for travelling on the ocean or underwater, so a Spelljammer Adventure Anthology book could do something similar with random encounter tables for Wildspace and the Phlogiston at all of the different tiers of play.
Basically, just add some charts to create planetary systems, and it's pretty much set!

The Great Modron March would work great for this, especially as it's been referenced so much.
Honestly if they do bring back Planescape - which I’m very much not sure they will - I suspect if it’s a big adventure it’ll be The Great Modron March, or The Infinite Staircase as an anthology.

That being said, speaking as a huge fan of the old Planescape line: I’m 100% sure we’ll get some sort of planar book, I’m just not confident it’ll be Planescape branded.
 


Those two new Settings are for 2023+: this year Winninger has touted two classic Settings and a "cameo" for a third.

I though so too, but they never actually said it was for 2023+, they only said it was early work on it, but that was months ago. I assumed that at the earliest it would be ready by 2023, but looking at Strixhaven's timeline, for none classic settings they can do it in less then a year.
