[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6358326, member: 42582"] I'm a big fan of the default 4e setting, but I've never used the Nentir Vale itself. (And the chapter on Fallcrest is the only part of the DMG that I've never read.) For me the default 4e setting is first and foremost (i) all the descriptions in Worlds & Monsters, plus (ii) the cosmology and mythic history that emerges from the god, race and class descriptions in the PHB, from the discussions of gods, the world and languages in the DMG, and from all the sidebars in the various "Power" books. The actual planar books - MoP, HotFW, Plane Above/Below, Underdark etc - I then see as elaborations on this default. I pick and choose from them what suits me, but don't treat it all as canon. For me, this post is still the best expression of what the 4e default world is about: My sense of the 5e cosmology is that it is oriented more towards "cosmology as an object of exploration" rather than "cosmology as a source of crisis that drives the game".
