Nentir Vale

The Nentir Vale or Points of Light (after the villages - points of light, dotted through the wilderness) is the default (or implied) setting for 4th Edition. Products set in the Nentir Vale don't contain any special Nentir Vale branding or trade dress, but 4th Edition products are generally assumed to be set in the Nentir Vale unless otherwise specified in the product. The Conquest of Nerath Board Game also is set in the same world as the Nentir Vale, and Nerathi Legends articles that ran in Dragon 398-406 expand substantially on the world in which the Vale is located. In addition, The Chaos Scar adventures published in Dungeon magazine are also part of this setting, since the Chaos Scar is located in the Nentir Vale.
