r/Eberron

One of my players is playing a tiefling wildmagic sorcerer, but they said they want to be the child of the embodiment of rage (they’re basing most of their story off of their real life, for a bit of closure) and I said sure. I haven’t done extensive research into eberron until I actually started, so I fixed things where I needed to, but now I realize that even though they’re a tiefling, what they’re describing is perfectly The Dreaming Dark, as their character is artistic and had imaginary friends, and even the embodiment of rage fits an extremely powerful Du’ulora quori, so is there any way to fix this before it gets too complicated?

I should mention that this campaign is like 70% in the city of Sharn, where most of the characters come from

I'm told they're one of the main lines of Cannith, but I haven't found mention of them anywhere. Is there a source?

My DM is running a detective game set in Sharn and while I have two solid ideas I'm taking in with me, I want to have a couple more ready in case I need to fill other niches. The two I have so far are a half elf artificer who faked his death during the Mourning so he could skip out on an indenture contract with House Cannith and a half orc either fighter or paladin who was a squire of the Order of the Emeral Claw and has been kind of lost and having a crisis of faith since the end of the war and taking odd jobs to make ends meet. Any other ideas are welcome, the more the merrier. Thanks y'all.

Hi everyone! I’m currently planning an Eberron campaign and I want to dive into some "adult" noir themes.

The core hook is this: the party discovers a Warforged who is "pregnant" with (or acts as an incubator for) a prototype baby Warforged. This is obviously a world-shattering event since Warforged are supposed to be sterile and created only in Creation Forges.I’m aiming for a Children of Men vibe: this newborn is a miracle, a monstrosity, and the most dangerous secret in Khorvaire.

My current idea for the main villains are: House Cannith (the want the baby for Research and profit) or the Lord of the Blades (using the baby as a miracle for the warforged cause).

My main questions are about the allies, who would support this event and the palyers? How would the world react?

I'd love honest advice and reactin, is a cool hook for an adventure or is it absolute bullshit that breaks the setting too much? Any feedback or lore suggestion is really appreciated!

Hello friends, maybe you have some suggestions what miniature looks good for some Characters/Monsters/Villains from the "Frontiers of Eberron".

I'm lookin for Miniatures for Orlassk (because I DM a modified campaign of Heart of Stone), and after Heart of stone starts my homebrew Section.

So miniatures for "King GrayFinger" , "Merchant of Misthaven" and Rhesh Turakbar", would be awesome.

For Tol Kharash, the Horned King, I will just use the Baphomet Miniature from the Icons of the Realms Series.

So have you Miniature suggestions for the mentioned Charakters (from the icons of the realms, pathfinder battles Series preferred) for me (:

So I’m currently planning on having my players visit Pylas Talaear, and I’m struggling to find any info online about this place even though it seems fairly important as it’s how the adventurers would enter Aerenal normally. The only thing I have found giving any info so far was the Eberron Campaign Guide which had very little additional info compared to the wiki.

Like is there tourism in Pylas Talaear? Does it have beaches where nobles just go to vacation to? I know there is exports and imports, and all the dragonmarked houses have a spot in this city (seems weird to me that House Orien would have anything here due to the rest of the island unwelcoming to foreigners).

Okay I am one of the DMs/players in a guild system game, custom world where the primordial gods created it. Said world is fairly new too (1.5k years max) In my first plot I introduced a necromancer who was imprisoned and wanted the party's help to become a lich, said necromancer is actually an alternative version of Erandis Vol, who lived, but lost her dragonmark she is still someone with questionable choices, but hasn't killed any innocent. (And even if she does, so did the players, so they don't really have any moral ground to say anything...)

Let me give some context: currently the gods left the world and that is setting people (even one of the players/fellow DM) to try to achieve godhood (I should note that this is a mixed setting, so while we have things from Eberron such as the dragonmarks, normal Forgotten realms stuff are present). Now I know I am taking **maaaany** creative liberties here, but after successfully becoming a lich, Erandis felt her mark to """awaken""" but still it is nothing compared to how the original mark was supposed to be, still the fact that she discovered that she could, possibly reawaken her mark has ignited a new ambition on her. Currently she plans artificially making a new body for herself and transfer her soul to said body, but she will only do so after she is sure that such body has awakened the same mark her original body had.

Nooow, here comes the true question (also sorry for the long rant, thank you for reading until here), I read that Erandis' mark was an Apex version of the mark of Death, that we have no canon answer to what she would do if it reawakened, however, if she did reawaken and used it to ascend to godhood, what type of goddess would she be? A goddess of the dead like Kelemvor? A goddess death? A goddess of undeath? Maybe even create a plane of existence for all the dead to rest?

If anything makes no sense I can try to explain better in the comments.

My players are doing a tournament arc.

It takes place in Thronehold to celebrate the anniversary of the Treaty of Thronehold signing.

The following are different contests with their own brackets at this tournament. Aside from team battles, the rest are individual battles.

• Team Battles
• Joust
• Melee
• Archery and Crossbowmanship
• Magical duels

What I am asking for is ideas for other opponents in the tournament, be it teams or individuals.

From reading his Patreon post, I know that Forge of War should be ignored when it comes to its depiction of Thrane, Wrogar's supposed alliance with the Wardens of the Woods, and the borders of Thrane and Aundair, but is there anything else that runs counter to kanon in Forge of War?

My PCs have taken their time on the plot-line where someone is framing a medusa. I got recommendations from this forum that perhaps Brelish agents were to blame but now I am wondering if it would work to have the Boromar clan be responsible. They would see increasing acceptance of Droamm citizens as a threat because they want to keep the heat on the Daask. Thoughts?

I decided to make her a Talenta Halfling, but I've been stuck going back and forth between Ranger: Hunter, Rogue: Scout, or some sort of multiclass with either Hunter and Rogue: Swashbuckler, or Hunter and Scout for her class and subclass. For those of you who know who she is, what do you think?

Hello, fellow adventurers!

With my players approaching level 5 in a couple of sessions. I wanted to give them a "bastion."

I wanted to ask both players and DMs about your bastion experience. Was it good? Was it bad?

Were there any homebrew rules to alleviate some of the problems? Did you have your own ruleset, separate from the DMG?

If of any importance, the campaign is set in Eberron, in Quickstone now.

So, Dungeon Dad did a video about the Xixchil species, originally from Spelljammer.

Long story short, they're a species of mantis-folk with fine, scalpel-like manipulators at the end of their forelimbs, giving them great skill in fine crafts, but also in actual surgery. They are, in fact, masters of the art of surgery and body modification, but on themselves and on non-xixchil.

Naturally, this sounds like it would great with Eberron, adding to the "Magical Cyberpunk" feel of the setting, with Xixchil body modification surgery being slowly introduced into Khorvaire from Xixchil immigrants, before House Jorasco starts to look into the concept.

I'm thinking they might be Xendrik natives, although I'm also thinking they might have spawned in Khyber, or from one of the planes.

Something that hardly gets touched upon is the fact that Sharn contains a base of the Gatekeepers in the Skysedge Park district of the Upper Central ward:

>The Gatehouse: In Carosten Park, near the edge of the plateau, stands a small stone building. Passersby generally assume the building belongs to the park caretakers and pay it no heed, but it is actually a sacred site to the sect of druids known as the Gatekeepers. From this small shrine in the midst of a “natural” site in the City of Towers, the Gate keepers monitor the manifest zone, the sewers and ruins below, and the activity of powerful spellcasters in Sharn to ensure that no dangerous planar breach appears in the city. They are not overly concerned with ordinary summoning spells and have little worry that the angels of Syrania are planning an invasion of the Material Plane, but they are deeply worried about recent events in the Depths.

Central Plateau is analogous to Manhattan, and Skysedge Park is loosely equivalent to Central Park, so these Gatekeepers have their base smack dab in the middle of a high-end district of the city. (Skysedge Park is explicitly categorized as "upper class" in 3.5 Sharn: City of Towers.)

Are, for example, the scholars of the Manifest Institute willing to sponsor Gatekeepers simply for the latter's planar expertise?

In Races of Eberron, it says, regarding the creation of the Warforged, that Aarren d'Cannith "...made the first breakthrough, using documents dating back to Kedran d'Cannith that some say originated in ancient Xen'drik." What I want to know is, how long ago was Kedran alive? When did he live, and where, and what was going on in the world at the time? Was it just his notes that might have come from Xen'drik, or was he in Xen'drik for some reason? I haven't been able to find mentions of him anywhere else.

So one of my players is playing a half elf version of Tony stark/ Bruce Wayne (armorer artificer) and he made his story about how at the beginning of his story his family and business was a weapons manufacturer under House Cannith, but when his parents, the father a Cannith born man, and his mother an elven woman, died from a mysterious accident right before the last war ended, he transitioned from weapons into more peaceful implements. However, he wants his story to have House Cannith try to Reclaim the players company for some reason. My question is what reason would merrix have to try to do this? I’ve been looking through all my books but merrix doesn’t have a lot of stuff about him.

Edit: rn all I have is that he’s angry that an elf is in the family, and is trying to cut out inferiority from Cannith

Working on a Droaam part of my campaign, and I’ve been searching for literally any city map of the Great Crag, but haven’t found any? Do people just not use it?
