So this question was explicitly worded to ask for support that was different than what was offered in HoS ... and they said there would be, in DDi. I do think that they will probably keep that kind of explicit support to online, because they want stuff in the books to work with recently published books and their evergreen product. In other words, Essentials.  I have no idea what the book will actually contain. The poster who made the comment about Threats of the ... was just pointing out that Nentir Vale is basically supposed to be where the PCs start out, and thus, heroic based. It may contain epic level threats as well, but it would presumably be focused more on "earth" based enemies instead of extraplanar threats, like stuff from the feywild, shadowfell, astral sea, etc. That may mean few if any epic monsters, or just monsters that fit in the 'normal' world. OR, the name "threats to the nentir vale" is really just a name, and it's basically a monster book without any actual theme to it (unlikely). Ultimately, if it doesn't have much epic stuff in it, that wouldn't be unexpected. It would be like complaining there is no seeker support in the Heroes of Shadow book. Yes, they need support, but they don't really "fit" into that particular book.  I would guess that most of the gloomshroud box set would revolve around paragon tier play, since that seems to be the 'spot' where travel to the shadowfell and feywild is expected to occur quite often. If Wizards hadn't basically created the concept of tiers being tied to the various planes, than perhaps they would have done all tiers of play in each book detailing the various planes, but they made it so that, in terms of the POL setting, you travel to the 'parallel' planes in paragon, and the 'upper/lower' planes in epic.</blockquote>
