[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 7282615, member: 6801226"] I think it is easier to bring fluff from the Vale into FR than it is from Dark Sun or Eberron (which to a certain extent are reactions to "basic fantasy" D&D), so I suspect we will see it mined more frequently than those other settings (until they set an adventure in one of those settings). Bring back PoL as a supported setting? I am not sure. There are things you can do there, such as the underdark being more open to elemental intrusions (including demons), demons as elementals, angels that work for any god, primal spirits vs. everyone, and an A List pantheon, but I think they need a genre hook, maybe metaplot something to the effect that the barriers separating the Astral Sea and the Elemental Chaos have opened enough to let more things through in the Vale. That would make it valuable real estate for celestials, elementals, and primal spirits (and maybe abberations, fey, and shadow types if more than one barrier weakened) trying to control a beachhead. Due to power sources, they all have people getting power from them in the Vale. In addition, you would have humanoids trying to keep the Vale livable for themselves (and maybe get some power on the side). While FR has an apocalypse every other week, it isn't like Tiamat is running into the Elemental Princes or the Demon Lords, so a potential convergence of apocalypses (and the struggle to prevent this) could be PoL's gimmick.
