I was wondering if the module H1 Keep on the Shadowfell is set in Faerun or not.  

 

  1. If it is, in what region of Faerun is in located?
  2. If it isn't what continent is the module set in?

Thanks,

It's set in 4e's pseudo-setting of the Nentir Vale. I believe there was a Dragon article that provided a way to adapt the adventure to the Forgotten Realms, though.

Unless I'm very mistaken... the Keep on the Shadowfell is set in the Nentir Vale... sort of mini realm. It's not found on any FR official map, but people have sort of shoe-horned it into different places. I think the area around the Dale Lands is a popular spot. The Nentir Vale is actually part of the fallen Nerath Empire... not part of FR cannon as I know it.

One of the first 4e Dragons had a FR conversion

Interesting.  Thanks all.  This prompts a couple more questions though:  The Fogotten Realms seems to be so much more popular than any other worlds.  Why did Greyhawk seem to fall out of grace and why is Ebberon not coveted by WotC in the way The Forgotten Realms seems to be?
