I don't have the time to fact check right now, but one thing I forgot is, what was happening with the Mror Holds throughout the Last War? Specifically, were there any conflicts with the Karrnath in the last two decades of the war or so? I thought about a character who was raised in the east Karrnath, but being from the House Deneith had to fight on the side of dwarves.
Also Eberron discussion.

Talenta first, Talenta best
Artifice from the start of this.
Also I love the way they flavored Monks.
I wouldn't trust this if I were you because it has been years, but I believe there very, very few conflicts between the two because Karrnath needed the mineral resources of the Mror Holds and were too deadlocked with Breland to dedicate enough men to bring Mrorananhold back in line. Kaius pretty quickly made peace with them in exchange for their continued cooperation, if memory serve, but their secession is part of why he was eager to end the war.
I recognise that picture. Wasn't it a picture for a (crappy) PrC from Manual of the Planes?
Gatecrasher, right? The prestige class you only take if you want to go into sigil and piss off the Lady of Pain.
Looked it up. Not as bad as I remembered, not great though.
I see, that makes sense. Guess I'll make something up about being re-dislocated on Cyrean front. Fighting undead army from your country as a mercenary just sounds too good to pass on.
I believe they rebelled from Karnath sometime early in the Last War. Probably sometime shortly after that whole necromancy businesses. Alliances changed all the time so I would believe they allied anyone who wanted to stab Karnath from the opposite side.
And Dragonmarked Houses are independent from nations, but are still loyal to their customers. Conflicts of interests are frequent, except when it isn't.
Loli Pope vs Tsun Lich is one of my favorite conceits of the setting.
Definitely. Actually I would watch an Eberron anime, it has all the necessary things in place.
I kind of see an anthology series, where we don't stick to a true main character for long and bop around different stories every few episodes...or something more like Kino's Journey where its just exploring the world in the aftermath of the last war.
>tsun lich
I don't recall this. Who was Vol tsun for? Also, I found it humorous that the loli pope was far and away the highest level box in the world, but only when inside the not!Vatican.
Yes.
She's tsun for the living.
It's also on the Arcane Wayfarer paragon path page.
She wants to revive the mark of death, not that she likes it or anything.
>highest level box in the world
Almost. There's a level 20ish Transmuter running around out there called something like "The Flesh Sculptor" or something like that.
On a similar note, one of my favorite things in the setting is the level I wanna say 17 elf Commoner running a tea shop in Sharn.
Did any of the post 3.5 Eberron books add anything of value, or was it just updating stuff to the new edition?
Also, cast your vote for best Eberron splatbook. I've read pic related cover to cover more than I care to admit.
Ooh. Either Sharn or Xen'drik for me.
I also recall that really high level elf commoner and 20 Transmuter existing.
The 4E books had some interesting lore additions here and there. Specifically in Mourning. I don't have any knowledge of 5E books.
None exist yet.
>Specifically in Mourning
Uh oh. They didn't canonize what happened did they?
Sharn is a very close second for me. I didn't care that much for the Xen'drik book, though. Nothing really wrong with it, but it came out so late in the life of 3.5 Eberron that I had already imagined what Xen'drik was like and this didn't really match up. Same with the one about Argonesson.
I did like the concept of learning powerful one off ancient magics.
Not the events of the Mourning. I meant to write The Mournland.
Always more horrors. Ugh, I really hate that WoTC scrapped their forums for a social media presence; there was some good flavor content. Especially the mourn land horrors thread.
Oh man, I remember that thread. I think I even contributed. Did that not get archived anywhere?
I honestly have no idea.
It did. Here it is!

Truly you have done the work of heroes.
>Uh oh. They didn't canonize what happened did they?
As far as I remember, no. but they did add some more things living there.
I think. 3.5 and 4e eberron books are kinda blurring into one.
I really liked Dragonmarked. The Houses are one of my favorite aspects of the setting and getting a peek inside is really cool.
Honestly, most of them were pretty damn good. I think Dragons of Eberron was kinda week and Races of Eberron was pretty bad, but it wasn't technically an Eberron book, oddly enough.
I always wondered why the formatted it for the main line instead of the Eberron line.
It was technically part of the "Races of" series. It had some stuff about Eberron in it (or perhaps stuff that was generic enough to be put in any setting, Eberron included), but it's main purpose was to... I guess allow people to put Eberron races in other settings? Not that Warforged or Kalashtar fit comfortably anywhere else, but there it is.
