Points of Light and Nentir Vale are informal names for the default campaign setting of the 4th edition core rulebooks. The setting is intentionally incomplete, allowing the gaps to be filled by imported or homebrew content. The eponymous region of the setting, the Nentir Vale, is described as a cold and sparsely populated land. The deities of the Points of Light setting make up the core pantheon of 4th edition. Many were copied or adapted from the deities of other settings, such as Forgotten Realms.
