[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 5323197, member: 12630"] Default: PoL - Scattered towns and cities with lots of unexplored (at least for a long time) wilderness loaded with old ruins and such. One valley has been half fleshed out and the rest is the DM's playground. Forgotten realms - Very detailed high fantasy world. They advanced the timeline by 100 years or so for 4th edition so that the people who've read all the old books don't know every minute detail. It's fairly population dense as I recall. I'm not very well versed on the 4e realms. Eberron - Fairly well populated sword and sorcery world that was engineered with the idea that if magic was around for ages then people would have figured out more utalitarian uses for it. Everburing street lamps, elemental powered water and air ships, etc. The main continent is just recovering from a 100 year war where all of the nations were fighting over the scraps of the old empire. One nation was completely destroyed in some unknown magic catastraphy. It has a very Noir feel to it. Mystery, intrigue and lots of travel. They recomended the Indiana Jones style red line on a map for long travel where nothing important is happening. Dark Sun - The gods were defeated by the primordials so there's no divine magic (by default). In doing so, arcane magic was released into the world. Arcane magic draws life from everything around it. After countless years the known lands are reduced to harsh and deadly deserts. Civilization clusters in large city-states ruled over by sorcerer kings of imense power. These sorcerer kings are near imortal and are some of the original and most powerful arcane users on the planet. Arcane users are lynched by the ignorant masses. Psionics are common. All of the races have received a twist and don't conform to the fantasy norms. Dwarves don't have beards, elves are tall desert dwelling nomads and theives and halflings are canabals living in a mountain jungle to name a few of the changes. It's a very survival of the fittest type atmosphere. Not much rescue the princess type action. [/QUOTE]
