When you look at it, I can see why they got rid of Dragonlance and why Greyhawk sort of Faded away (it was officially the “default” setting for d&d 3 but it didn’t get anything like the level of support that Forgotten Realms got. Only one of those three settings was ever going to survive because they were all too similar and by having all 3 it’s easy to see why people might use terms like “generic” to describe medieval fantasy; three settings that were almost the same apart from the map and the names of the Gods. So Forgotten Realms, as the most popular, lived on. But in the wake of the cull, we also got Eberron.
