[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4421168, member: 2020"] The 4E Realms are a Post-Holocaust World. Think of Krynn after the Cataclysm, right after the Cataclysm when Raistlin, Crysania, Caramon, and Tasslehoff were involved in the Dwarfgate Wars. This is not the Age of Reason or the Age of Enlightenment. This is the Age of Monsters, the Age of Smoke, the Age of Tyranny, the Dark Age Manifest. Stricken people huddle in refuge camps or cities, wondering why the Gods let them down, or even if there are any Gods anymore. Strange monsters and peoples never before seen roam the continent. The geography is strange, the waters are strange, even the weather is different. Nobody knows what befell the people or nation beyond the mountains yonder. Fewer care to find out. Fewer yet, come back from such sojourns, mostly with tales too fantastic to be believed ... or are they actually the truth? Whither Waterdeep, that mightiest of Port Cities? Whither ancient Calimshan? Whither divided Thay and it's ancient enemy Mulhorand? Whither the Zhentarim and their Harper foes? Whither Mulmaster and Luruar, Westgate and Amn, Sembia and Cormyr? Whither the Dales? Wither the ancient realms of the South? The elves? The dwarves? The gnomes? The halflings? Nobody knows. If Candlekeep yet stands, perhaps they might know (as Astinus of Palanthus knew) but could one make the journey there, and if one did, would they be received? The world is different. One feels it in the air, the soil, the water. Things, are not what they were. [/QUOTE]
