As more material has been added by other books it has come to be called the "PoL" setting or PoLand by a lot of players. Officially it isn't a setting and it lacks things like a world map, a canonical history, etc. Many of the WotC written modules are built with assumptions from the PoL material, have a defined location related to Nentir Vale, and will easily drop into a campaign that uses all that material. That material is intended to be generic enough that only minor DM fiddling should integrate most modules with most campaigns.You can certainly do all of the things you're talking about. You can do anything. The rules of the game don't care about setting details and none of that material is sacrosanct. The DM should definitely be able to cook up almost anything they want using those ingredients.</blockquote>
