The geography also makes sense and has not been warped by 90th level archmages blasting each other thousands of years ago.  In the Forgotten Realms, even if you play without Elminster, Khelben, Drizzt and the others, they are still lurking out there.  In Kalamar, your PCs can become the most powerful people in the world.  I think there is one epic level NPC in the campaign sourcebook, and he is level 21.</blockquote>
