D&D General Nentir Vale In Other Settings

[Dragonhelm]

As a follow-up to the other Nentir Vale thread, I wonder what other settings the Nentir Vale could be placed in.

I had considered Exandria since the pantheons are so closely related, though I don't know the geography well enough to know where to put it.

What setting would you place it in? Exandria, Greyhawk, Mystara, Eberron? Something else entirely?

I think if I ever visit there as DM, I’d have it on its own planet , within the same Prime Material Plane.

Or a different continent if you don’t like that.

 

[Zardnaar]

Geographically anywhere remote. The pantheon s the issue.

 

[haakon1]

My view, for my 3.5e Greyhawk campaigns, is …

All the gods are real.

All the settings exists in parallel with each other - most are in the same Prime Material Plane on different planets.

My PC’s have met folks from other settings, and one retired PC is currently “stranded” by himself in the Forgotten Realms. He’s a Monk, and when he prays to Rao from Candlekeep, Rao hears the same as he would hear a prayer from Oerth.

1. Eberron: Near Yrlag. Kind of remote, on the borders of Droaam, the Eldeen Reaches, the Shadow Marches and even the Demon Wastes. Alternatively, near Stormwreck Bay on the other side of the Continent, where you can get Mror, Lhazaar, Talenta and Q'barra all involved.

2. Golarion: Somewhere in eastern Varisia, maybe kinda sorta in the area between Korvasa, Janderhof, and Kaer Maga. Actually, I don't like Kaer Maga at all, so maybe it even replaces it kinda. Alternatively, up on the border between the River Kingdoms and Brevoy. Alternatively, it can replace Andor altogether, since Andor is kinda weird.

3. In Greyhawk, it can be one of the areas of the Shield Lands, probably.

 

[haakon1]

The Shield Lands is a single country, but perhaps you meant the Bandit Kingdoms next door.

 

[Desdichado]

No, I meant the "New Shield Lands", which is a small rump state of the original Shield Lands, and claims the rest of the territory once occupied by the "Old Shield Lands". Nentir Vale being a frontier territory in this area that Critwall would like to peacefully reincorporate makes perfect sense.
