Campaign Setting


4th Edition


Hi people,

Just curious as to whether other people have been using the Nentir Valley as a backdrop and how much expantion work that they have done.

I decided with this campaign to build my own setting using the Nentir Valley and the fallen empire of Nerath as the central location. Also has anyone found anything to do with the fallen nation of Bael Turath mentioned in the Warlord from KOTS pregenerated characters?

I've set the Nerath Empire as fallen to three smaller empires. One destinctly dark and evil, one a struggling old world empire hanging onto chivalry and a third turned into an empire run by commerce.

There has been a decent amount said about Bael Turath, in fact there was a dragon article in DDI on it when they were free. From what I read it was a depraved kingdom that went to war with the Dragonborn kingdom and in the end it resulted in both kingdoms falling apart. Bael Turath was notorious as a feasting and breeding ground for new kinds of depravity and evil, and thats where 4e teiflings come from, the demonic taint of the progenitors of Bael Turath and their pacts with demons. In the Dragon article a city of Bael Turath is detailed and still ruled by demonic teiflings of a most foul nature...

Well I've found some useful bits for Bael Turath and the opposing kingdom so based on my style and what I'd like to see the game run then I have extended my map to cover the countries.
