I was under the impression that He Who Was was a load on the gods' side. An incompetent leader whose failures were one of the main reasons the gods were losing. I remember reading that is why the other gods did nothing when Asmodeus killed him.

Tharizdun got the Shard from behind the Living Gate (implied in sourcebooks, actually stated in the aforementioned novels). Besides that, both things are completely unrelated in their origins. The Living Gate already existed there when the gods were young, and they know not of its origins. Only...

Nope. It was a fragment of the Hearth of the Abyss (itself an "evolved" form of the Shard of Pure Evil of the obyriths). Pelor, Ioun and Tharizdun story with the Living Gate is mentioned in the PHB 3, and also developed a bit the Abyssal Plague main trilogy.

There is an spoiler tag in the options. ;) If you can't find it:

Sure, that is a possibility. However, sooner or later they will be drawn to the war. The primordials are not trying to kill the gods. They're trying to undo their creation (to create a new one). It's hard to remain neutral when someone its destroying your house.

I don't think so... in the Nentir Vale, the gods need to stand together, even the evil ones, because the forces of the primordials outnumber them by a wide margin. I remember some sourcebook that states that the gods, even the evil ones, grudgingly accept each others because that god that you...

I have a LOT of sites to add to that map from some adventures. Just let me check my documents. I have, but the map is still unfinished, I have limited my efforts just to the Nerathan League area.

It was in my home campaign, now.

I find this topic interesting, because I was thinking on doing the same for my next campaign set in the Nentir Vale, so, tagged for future stealing (?) And I was also struggling in how to include Garl into my campaign (there is potential gnome player, lol)

Is there an offline Monster Builder?

And where I can get this?

I really love 4e because of the PoL setting. I like its associated lore, such as the Dawn War, the World Axis cosmology (for reasons already stated here by many), and the lore behind the Nentir Vale's world. I like that it's a dark setting, but also a Big Damn Heroes setting, making the players...

This is one thing that I actually miss from 4e...

I miss much of the 4e lore. The Dawn War and related mythology, for one. But, then I remember I have all the 4e books and I get over it.

I was going to say this. I do the same.

I'd argue that it was Warcraft, but perhaps Warcraft took their approach from Dragonlance.

Oh boy, their physical appareance already sold me their approach. I prefer this over the dumb-looking D&D ones.

I guess, I'm going to say 4 leaning toward 5. I like that rules came from the setting, but sometimes the DM must have to do rulings about things that couldn't have been expected when the campaign was proposed. Like, trying a new mechanic or race and the like. I'm all about consensus with my...

I really like the idea of swarms for mass combat. Is way easier than my method. There any handy PDF compilation? In one of my campaigns, when the players had to deal with an orc horde, I used minions as common soldiers and my players had to play a skill challenge to maintain morale and lead...

All that stuff was explained in some novels and the D&D Next adventures. I also think they should have explained it in the book instead.
