Greyhawk: Conquest of Nerath

The birth of 4E D&D heralded confusion in 2008 as it attempted to re-established the continuity of the D&D Universe. After sometime, the Core World of 4E was unknown and many thought it could be Abeir, the twin world of Toril (Forgotten Realms). Since the publication of the 4E D&D Comics and the Boardgame "Conquest of Nerath" the truth can finally be told. The world of Nerath is one of the many parallel worlds of Oerth (Greyhawk). 

How can this be? Well the 4E Core book for one introduces many new gods, as well as several gods familiar with the Greyhawk Pantheon. Second, many of the adventures published tried to be as generic as possible.... but trying to capitalize on veterans players it made 4E versions of some classic modules. With the comics and new board game... it has cemented these revised classic module (Greyhawk) in the 4E World of Nerath. The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, The Vault of the Drow, Whiteplume Mountain, and The Temple of Elemental Evil are some of the few iconic Oerthian places found in Nerath...ergo.... Nerath is 4E Oerth!!! Ironically even the kingdom of Sarthel of Nerath resembles the continent of the Flaness!!

So what do we know of Nerath? Well we know that there are presently two continents, divided  by a sea with a large island in the middle. The Old Empire of Nerath is found on the western continent and this is where Nentir Vale is also located at. Just south of Nerath is the Iron Circle.... another kingdom. The eastern continent, hold both Karkoth and Vailin. The latest issue of the 4E Dragon and Dungeons Magazines have been giving historical information of the world of Nerath, fleshing it out bit by bit. Also it would be advisable to also check out the 4E D&D Comics as it follows the adventure of the iconic character of the 4E world in Nerath!.
