[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8329136, member: 79428"] The default 4E setting was ostensibly started out as a bare bones setting that DMs could customize as they saw fit, but in practice the sheer amount of content released during 4E's short lifespan filled things out pretty quickly. What made it unique, though, is that in an effort to try and keep the Material Plane (or mortal world, as it was more often called in 4E) relatively undefined, a lot more detail was given on the rest of the multiverse and its denizens. Details about the world itself were often hidden away in books dedicated to PC options like the various "x Power" books and magazine articles. It wasn't until after the Conquest of Nerath board game that articles about different nations in the world and a world map were presented; before then, fans of the implied setting hunted references and collected them piecemeal.
