Sure. It's in Dungeon 171, the Dungeoncraft article named "The D&D World".

IIRC, while Iomandra was created using the key points of Nerath's worldview, they were said to be different worlds. They talked about it in one of the Dragon or Dungeon magazines of the time. They used Iomandra and other two worlds as examples of using the Nentir Vale settings as starting points...

I'd also like to be playing 4e right now. 5e never grew on me, even with all the changes of late. Oh, I don't know. Some were very useful to me, but mostly to steal the plot, and fixing in the way that fitted the gaming group. And yes, the late adventures are very good. They learned what the...

Also, remember that most climate patterns in the PoL World are because magic shenanigans (the Desert of Desolation and the Kul Desert were created by tieflings using defiling magic, for instance, there are planar rifts that influence the surrounding terrain - such as the Trollhaunt Warrens...

The map of Nentir Vale is not wrong. The map of Conquest... Well, I won't use the word "wrong", but the people who made the map had a different ideabof what the World looked like than the original creators of the Nentir Vale setting. The original authors said that beyond the Nentir Vale, it was...

The authors intended that the planet was Earth-like, for the same purpose they gave it only one moon or 4 seasons: for easy-to-use for new DMs to homebrew. That was the original intention, at least. They revealed that in one of the preview books. So, following the authors' intentions, the map...

Just wanted to know the progress of this project. Sorry for bothering.

I was reading my sources, and I can assure you the Ethereal Plane didn't existed in 4e. At least, conceptually. The authors purposefully left the Ethereal Plane out of the World Axis because they believed it was an unnecessary addition to the cosmology. There is a Dragon article about it...

The thing is, "ether" doesn't exist in the 4e cosmology. There is no Ethereal Plane in the World Axis. So, if you say to a sage in the Nentir Vale that there is some ethereal stuff doing "gravity" and whatnot, they are going to look at you and think you're nuts. Your theory has some merit...

So, how small is The World compared to Earth? Perhaps Mars-sized?

As with anything Nentir Vale, there is no single answer. It can be the Living Gate, but other sources say it can the very first abolethic colony in the universe (according to the legend, the Primordials built the Word on top of that) or whatever something it is that created the very first beholders.

Well, as I mentioned before, there is something in the deepest reaches of the Underdark that deforms reality and some sages believe it's related to the Far Realm. This can be our magical source of gravity, regardless of the planet's mass and its perfectly official.

Well, the Underdark may factor into this? Remember D&D worlds are hollow worlds. However, in the Nerath world there is something in the deepest parts of the Underdark that literally distorts reality in such a way that sages believe is some Far Realms-thingy. Perhaps this can contribute for our...

Something to take into account here is that much of the "Desert of Desolation" in Conquest map was artificially created by using epic spells during the Arkhosian-Turathi war. Meaning that the existence of deserts in the southwestern part of the world doesn't necessarily dictate the climate of...

TSR 3.5? The last time I looked, there was TSR3 only, lol.

Well, this is interesting, as another section of the book regarding Dragonlance outright changes Paladine and Takhisis with Bahamut and Tiamat.

I'm interested in watching that video, pls.

I only wonder if Io is mentioned at all in the book. But I guess that the lore from the SCAG is still true for them. It would explain why Bahamut and Tiamat are that important now.

I see Aasterinian in a sidebar. I wonder if any other dragon god is mentioned? What about Io?

Well, these are aspects of Tiamat and Bahamut, not proper avatars. In 4e, the aspects were weaker than the avatars, so I guess I was expecting something like this.
