[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8275792, member: 5142"] I think that the Nentir Vale can still stand on its own. D&D has its own multiverse where multiple settings share a variety of basic elements, so it should be okay that Exandria and Forgotten Realms also share some things with Nerath/Nentir Vale too. That's D&D. IMHO, part of the appeal for the Nentir Vale is that it's NOT the world of the FR books/games or Matt Mercer's world, but, rather, it exists mostly in minimal GM sketchbook form. It's a setting initially designed to be DIY starter set for GMs. It has a few base elements (e.g., Dawn War, the pantheon, a fallen Bael Turath/Arkhosia/Nerath, the map of the Vale, etc.), but most of that is undefined and open. Because of this, the GM doesn't have to worry about stumbling over catalogues and streams of highly-defined setting lore. This is why I still use Nentir Vale as one of my primary go-to settings for games. It's great for sandbox games or dropping old modules throughout the map. [/QUOTE]
