Default "PoL" Setting - Setting Info Compilation (Now Wikified!)

[Classic Villany]

Just thought I'd chime in with a bit of information.

In the MM Demon Entry, the grey box with info on the origins of The Abyss hints that some of the Primordials became Demon Princes.

The Demonomicon: Yeenoghu article from Dragon states that Yeenoghu was a Primordial iirc.

I don't have the these particular sources at hand at the moment, but I'll post again later with more specifics if someone hasn't already beaten me to it.

The way I see it, they just don't want to have to come up with a new setting that's going to have to compete against FR and Eberron. Kinda smart of them, as they don't won't their product lines eating each other.

And I'm fine with the info being released as it is. It's just a bit of a pain to hunt down the details.

Sounds like a very plausible reason they are doing it this way.

I agree I'm okay with it as is but the one thing as a DM I wished I had was a world or at least continent map. I'd love for Chris West (Maps of Mystery guy) to be allowed to put out one.

Okay, p.52 of the Monster Manual states:

"The evil of the Abyss corrupted even some of the mighty primordials-Demagorgon, Baphomet, Orcus-and reshaped them into the likeness of pure, destructive evil."

And on the third page of the Demonicon article on Yeenoghu, it states under the Lore heading:

"Like many demon lords, Yeenoghu was once a primordial, one of the shapers of creation, but was transformed and awakened by the mysterious Chained God believed to lurk at the bottom of the Abyss."

A touch of Madness also contains the area surrounding the town of Wellspring. Though it was written for 3.5, it's going to be updated to Fourth Edition.

Thanks! I'll look into that.
