But if you're looking for actuall fluff or rules telling you how, I can't help you. My suggestion would be a severe disjunction-type ritual that takes care of it, possibly requiring some epic ingredients.

After all, changing an entire plane's proximity to another or actually cutting off its connection to a manifest zone is a magical feat that demands significant, if not outright huge, magical power.

The Gatekeepers were able to do was to keep the alien plane of Xoriat nudged away so it wouldn't become coterminous. You could probably do that on a smaller scale for one location.

But I think everyone is on agreement that there are no rules for doing this type of stuff.
