It is a time of magic and monsters, a time when the civilized world has beenreduced to a few scattered points of light glowing with stubborn determinationamid a rising tide of shadows. It is a time when only the bravest dare tread

the wilds of the unknown.

A small town built upon the ruins of a larger city, Fallcrest lies at thecrossroads of the Nentir Vale, a great wilderness dotted with a handful ofinhabited villages and towns where bandits and monsters roam freely,

threatening all who venture far from settlements.

This is a place in need of a few heroes.
