	''"Some have asked how the TSR Kargat decided which domains to eliminate from the Core after the Grand Conjunction. There were two main criteria. The first was purely ecological: We felt that the Core should be more consistent from a natural point of view. Thus, [[Bluetspur]], with its sunless landscape, was too foreign to share space with the Core. Similarly, the formless [[Nightmare Lands]] needed their own place to be terrifying, and [[G'Henna]] was too barren to rest within the lush countryside around it. [[Markovia]], inspired by the Island of Dr. Moreau, seemed to logically belong in the [[Sea of Sorrows]], and its absence from the Core helped to create the very-cool [[Shadow Rift]]. In a related decision, the Kargat judged [[drow]] too foreign to the tone of the setting, as are [[dragon]]s, so [[Arak]] became a part of the avaricious lord [[Azalin \| Azalin's]] domain (and the drow were discovered to actually be shadow elves and denizens of the new Shadow Rift).''<br>		''"Some have asked how the TSR Kargat decided which domains to eliminate from the Core after the Grand Conjunction.
