Or instead... If not for the Shattering, then on the cosmic day, all three Realms would collapse into one. As things now stand, either (A) the Physical and Cognitive will merge, (B) the Physical and Spiritual will merge, or (C) the Cognitive and Spiritual will merge. Or there's still a danger of a triple collapse, just not the same kind/level of such a threat. Some factions want to control which collapse happens, some factions want to prevent a collapse altogether, etc.
