I never interpreted PoL as grim'n'gritty and low magic, however. That would've been incredibly unlikely in D&D's default setting.I started my homebrew campaign with every intention of embracing the PoL concept, but it soon became clear to me that the more I made my campaign fit the idea of D&D that has grown in my head over the last couple of decades, the less like PoL it seemed to become. The points of light themselves were expanding, and the untamed wilderness between them was shrinking, and the truly dangerous bits of my campaign were now on the periphery of a civilized and stable land.4E itself -- the mechanical framework and its assumptions -- still supports this type of game wonderfully, and we've had years of fun with the game, but the default setting as envisaged in the previous books didn't really came to fruition in my case.</blockquote>
