[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9291359, member: 7030526"] Yes thank you. I wouldn't call FR Points of Light, that be like Calling Canada or Russia points of Light for having a lot of empty nature fill territory, but that is not enough to be PoL, because all that territory is claimed by a nation. And while there are locations with a lot of unclaimed territory, its not the majority. Even the city states on the Swordcoast, Chessenta, etc..., claim a lot of territory and even villages surrounded their cities. Its a misconception that city states end at the boader of their capitals cities. And FR has a whole bunch of big prosperous nation states around the Sea of Fallen Stars especially, Mulhurand, Unther, Tymander, Cormyr, Sembia, Aglrond, Thay, Turmish, etc... Nentir Vale is really the PoL setting, its that Faerun is just so @@@@ing big it seems like a PoL setting sometimes. Anyways I'd say FR is Renniance Steampunk Renaissance with large areas of nomads, as opposed to the usual Victorian Steampunk setting. The key difference being between the two types of Steampunk is Industrialization, FR doesn't have factories, so mass production is rare, which is exastrabated by frequent disasters, aka Realmshaking events.
