"You would think they would have done something to keep Horizon Realms around but not in the control of mages. Maybe they were taken over by spirits and found a different source of quin. A lot of possibilites there."

Actually, this is pretty much what happened to most of them -- except the spirits *are* the former residents. In a way, the Realms are now more archetypes for what the represent -- very much like the Epiphamies elsewhere in the book. Victoria Station is full of spirits the reenact Scientific Romance. Doissetep is a phantom palace full of ephemeral schemers. They're also a little easier to get to, as well, sicne they're now on various Umbral planets.

So yeah, if you wanted Horizon Realms as a place for mages to hang out you'll need to tweak it, but the Realms that are still around are very cool things to adventure in.
