I’m hoping this only applies to the stuff that contradicts 5e SJ like the existence of phlogiston and such. I hope it doesn’t apply to the general understanding of what exists upon each world. |

Unfortunately, there was no other information.
If I had to speculate, though, I'd point out that a lot of what Realmspace has to say about Toril is not backed up by published Realmslore.
And though I know my opinion is not universal, I've always found the Leirans living on Selûne to be problematic at best. |

Technically even the phlogiston can still exist with 5e SJ. Essentially, it would seem that the crystal spheres themselves have just "phased" away due to an interaction with the astral (or rather, modern helms somehow phase away the crystal sphere and make it astrally permeable as one approaches it). They may still exist around a "wildspace system" or whatever its called in 5e and the flow "may exist on the other side". All that to say "it can still work the old way, it just seems that somehow all helms were suddenly changed". |

I think I've figured out a way to explain the human and elven worshipers of Leira living on Selune.
I'm working through a history of the islands and undersea realms of the Trackless Sea. I think I've figured out how to get the aquatic elves to Karpri as well.
I've written up the High History of Bral, if the DM puts it in Realmspace, as well.
