No one noticed the Doomguard's aligned Plane is the Elemental Chaos? Big change, it's a plane born of 4e.
They were previously affiliated with the Negative-Quasi-Elemental Planes (Ash, Dust, Salt, and Vacuum), so moving it to the Elemental Chaos isn't that big of a change conceptually, given the current version of Inner Planar cosmology.

So, there's some really weird continuity stuff happening here (surprise surprise)...

The factols listed on that page are all from the Planescape setting pre-Faction War. Notably, the factol of the Fated is still Duke Rowan Darkwood (who played a pivotal role and was ousted in the old FW adventure) & the factol of the Fraternity of Order is still Hashkar (who died in the old FW adventure).

However, the presence of the Mind's Eye faction is a post-Faction War development (mentioned in the epilogue of the FW adventure).

So there's conflicting continuity lore without any explanation (yet) for what's going on.
 

They're obviously going for the "remix" approach rather than a direct continuation from Faction War.

A bit annoying for those of us that actually find the post-Faction War setup compelling, but on the whole, probably far easier for newcomers to the setting if/when they delve into the older material.

Might not get an explanation at all. Older edition material is not "canon" for WotC.
