8/11/2019 D&D 4E Eberron Player's Guide

t i   INTRODUCTION
The cauldron of the thirteen d ragons boils
until one of the five beasts fighting over a single bone becomes a
thing of desolation.

Desolation spreads over that land like wildfire, like plague,

and Eberron bears the scar of it for thirteen cycles of the
Battleground.

Life ceases   within its  bounds,

and ash covers the earth.

-The Draconic P rophecy

IN THE   wa ke of a long and terrible war, a world
strugg les to find its destiny. W ill it des cen d onc e
mo re into brutal conflict and end in spe ctac ular
annihilation, or will the world emerge at last into a
new era of pea ce and prosperity?
At this m om ent , a han dfu l of heroes—you and your
allies—migh t hold the fate of the world in their h an ds .
This is a world whose destiny is hidden in the mys
terious prophecies of dragons, tempe red by p owerful
magic, and forged in bloody warfare.
TEN IMPORTANT FACTS
W ha t mak es the world of Ebe rron unique? Here are
ten key pieces of inform ation about the world to bea r
in mind.
1.   If it exists in the D& D'"' world, then it has a place in
Eberron.  E b e r r o n is a l l a b o u t u s i n g t h e c o r e e l e m e n t s
of the D & D w orld in new ways and interesting com
binations, with some uniqu e elemen ts thrown in.
I t 's st i l l a D & D s e t t i n g , s o a n y i n f o r m a t i o n f o r p la y 

s u p p l e m e n t — f r o m t h e c l a s s e s a n d r a c e s i n a   Player's
Handbook"'   t o t h e n e w p o w e r s a n d o t h e r f e a t u r e s i n a
b o o k s u c h a s D i v i n e P o w e r "—should fit r ight in to your
1
D u n g e o n M a s t e r ' s   E B E R R O N  c a m p a i g n . ( O f c o u r s e ,
your D M always has the final word about what p arts
of the D & D g am e are allowed and not allowed in the
campaign.)
2. Tone   an d  a t ti tu d e . E b e r r o n t a k e s a l l t h e c i n e m a t i c
action and swashbuckling adventure of traditional
D & D g a m e s a n d a d d s in a s t r o n g d o s e o f m y s t e r y a n d
scheming. In this campaign, stories don't always end
well, and there isn't always a right answer to every
p r o b l e m . T h e L a s t W a r t u r n e d o l d a l li e s i n t o b i t t e r
enemies and destroyed an entire nation, leaving ter
rible scars behind. Crime and corruption lurk in the
largest cities. You r character's allies might bec om e
his or her en em ies in the blin k of an eye, and well-
kno wn agents of evil might provide assistance whe n
i t' s l e a s t e x p e c t e d . H i d d e n d r a g o n s s h a p e t h e c o u r s e
of history. Sinister fiends influe nce th e dre am s of the
unwary . A n arm y of horrors lingers just beyon d the
e d g e o f r e a l it y , s tr u g g l i n g t o b r e a k t h r o u g h . N o t h i n g
is exactly what it seems.
3 .  A   world of magic.  T h e s e t t i n g s u p p o s e s a w o r l d
that developed not through the advancement of
scienc e, but by the mas tery of ma gic. Magic allows
for conv enien ces and services und rea m ed o f in
traditional med ieval fantasy. Bo und elem enta l
creatu res power eleme ntal airships, rail transport,
and high- speed o cea n vessels. A working class of
min or mag es uses ritual magic to provide energy
and other necessities in towns and cities. Advances
in ma gic item creatio n have led to eve ryth ing from
self-propelled farming implements to sentient, free-
willed constructs.
4 .  A   world of adventure.  F r o m t h e s t e a m i n g j u n g l e s
o f A e r e n a l t o th e c o l o s s a l r u i n s o f X e n ' d r i k , f r o m
the towering kee ps of Sh arn to the blasted hills and
valleys of the D em on W aste s, Eb erron is a world of
action and adventu re. Ad ventures can d raw your
character and your allies from one exotic location
to another across nations, continents, and the entire
w o r l d . T h e q u e s t fo r t h e M i r r o r o f t h e S e v e n t h M o o n
migh t take you from a hidden des ert shrine to a
ruined castle in the Shadow Marches and finally to a
dun geon below the Library of Korra nberg . Th roug h

A lthough Kho rvaire is the cen ter of the world to
many people, five other continents stretch across
Eberron.

opportunities.

wildern ess of Xe n'd rik, once ho me to a fallen e mp ire
of giants. Ruins o f this emp ire ar e buried in the con
tinent's endless jung les. Every expedition that return s
from the wilds of Xe n'd rik bea rs new relics and
mys teries. W ith s team ing equato rial jung les, a vast
desert, and a frozen wasteland to its distant south,
Xe n'd rik is a treas ure trove waiting to be plund ered.
At least, that's how adventurers view it. To the native
yuan- ti and drow, the jung les and ru ins are h om e,
and they fight to defend them.

its shadow. Occasionally, Adaran travelers come to
Khorvaire, so its culture—although it is exotic and ill-

town : a dim but imp orta nt point of light in the
world's darkness. Most Khorvairians are farmers or
laborers, living in farmsteads and hamlets within a
couple o f m iles of a cen tral town . A larger settle me nt
serves as a trading ne xus , to wh ich fa rm ers b ring
crops, livestock, wool, and similar goods. Crafters
from the town trade plows, leath er goods, imp orte d
items, and similar objects or services in exchange
for farm goods. Farmers, crafters, and laborers pay
taxes to a local lord, who lives nearby. The lord uses
this tax money to raise an army, train a militia, or
otherwise ensure that the people under his or her
protection are safe.

Lawful Good
Dol Arrah is the shining goddess of honorable
combat, selflessness, and sunlight. She brings light
to pierce the dark places and blades to pierce the
hearts of monsters. Legends say that Dol Dorn and
the Mock ery are her brot hers. Paladins, warlords,
and good-aligned fighters revere her, as do diplomats,
who fight their battles with words instead of swords.
She appears in religious texts as a human or half-elf
knight alight with holy radiance, and sometimes as a
red dragon atop a cloud.
Her teachings are:
4   Bri ng succo r to those who suffer.
4   Bri ng the light of truth and goodne ss to dark an d

4   Brin g force of ar ms against all that is evil.
D O L   DOR N

The god of courage and physical prowess, Dol Dorn
also exemplifies duty and war. He urges all people to
be at their physical best. Soldiers, fighters, and war
lords are his primary worshipers, along with athletes
and acrobats. Said to be the brother of Dol Arrah
and the Mockery, texts depict Dol Dorn as a muscle-
bound human, dwarf, or half-ore, and occasionally as
a mighty silver dragon.
His commands are simple but strong:
4   Shi rk your duty only if your char ges have bec om e
unworthy of it.
4   Achieve and maint ain physical perfection.
4   Test your physical powers in contests and in battle .
May the strongest prevail

tricky.) For that reason, only the Traveler is discussed
below (the othe r mem ber s of the Six are describe d

TH E   TRAVELER
Unaligned
The great trickster, the Traveler is a deity of cunning,
deception, and change. The Traveler is a consum
mat e shape cha nge r and maste r of disguises, and thu s
the being's true natu re is unkn own —texts variously
refer to the Traveler as "it" rather than "he" or "she."
Many doppelgangers, shifters, lycanthropes, thieves,
and rogues revere the Traveler, as do a few artificers
who focus on the deity's innovation and cleverness.
T he Traveler is som etim es called the G iver of Gifts,
but proverbs w arn t hat one m ust be w ary of its gifts.
Osten sibly a m em be r of the D ark S ix, the Trav eler
seems to have no connection, familial or otherwise, to
its fellows.
The Traveler's commandments must often be
inferred, for its holy texts are few. Its tenets are:
•  R e v e a l i n g y o u r t r u e s e l f i s w e a k n e s s . S h r o u d y o u r 
self in misd irec tio n an d disguise so that even you

•  T h e b e s t w e a p o n s a r e c u n n i n g p l a n s a n d i n t r i c a t e

easily manipulated.

colleges are known to be eager recipients of informa

regularly finance treasure-hunting expeditions, par
ticularly to mysterious Xen'drik. In addition, each
facility ma inta ins at least one teleporta tion circ le for
use with the Linked Portal ritual.
T he L ibrary of Korran berg has eight associated
colleges. It is pre stig iou s-n ob les from b oth royal
and dragonmarked families come here to study. It is
also famou s as the largest repository of kno wled ge in
Khorvaire.
Morgrave University doesn't possess the prestige
of othe r universities. Ins tead , it boas ts an outsta ndin g
collectio n of anc ient treasu res and relics. T he institu
tion's expeditions are often glorified treasure hunts.
Still, its scholars and professors are learned and
ardent, and the university mak es a good reso urce for
adve nturers of the heroic tier who mig ht not be able
to catch the attention of the oth er u niversities.

Although changelings can adopt any persona,

PLAYING A CHANGELING
Lacking a culture or a civilization to call their own,
cha nge lings adopt othe r races' societies. T he y seek
out communities that have values and interests that
parallel their own. Changelings prefer cities because
they are ideal places to blend in with others or to
vanish if neces sary. Cities also contain pe ople to o
interested in their own affairs to notice th e oddities of
strangers.
Changelings are inoffensive and peaceful by
nature, and they have few concerns about political
and social affairs. T heir me rcu rial natu re breeds dis
trust and suspicion in othe r races. Peo ple are intent
on seeing the worst in changelings; they assume the
race uses its shapechanging ability for malicious
ends. Some changelings do use their talents for evil,
but such individuals exist in no greater numbers than
among other races.
In a way, changelings are parasitic in their rela
tionships with other races. R ath er tha n c onstru cting

CHANGELING ADVENTURERS
Three sample changeling adventurers are described
below.
Dox is a changeling bard who constantly tries to
escap e the infam y of her people. She swaps p erson
alities and appearances like another person would
chan ge clothes. Dox sees herself as ma ny people.
W h en she assum es one of her personas, she bec om es
that person until she's ready for a new identity. She
u s e s h e r s h a p e c h a n g i n g t a l e n t s to a u g m e n t h e r p e r 
f o r m a n c e s a s a b a r d , s w i t c h i n g h e r f o r m to m a t c h a
character she presents in stories and songs.
H ars is a cha nge ling rogu e, a traine d killer with an
intellect as sha rp as the knives he wields. H e k eeps
his changeling nature a secret, using it as a hidden
w e a p o n t o t a k e e n e m i e s b y s u r p r i s e . W h e n h e s e t tl e s
on a guise, he rarely chang es it. H e keep s a facad e
for months or years, switching only when no one is
around or when it is absolutely necessary to discard
the identity.
A un n is a cha nge ling a rtificer, a spy who works
for A unda ir's Royal Eyes. H e was raised to be co m e
a m e m b e r o f t h e R o y a l E y e s , i n s t i l l e d w i t h d e e p l oy 
alty to the queen but taught not to care for anyone
or anything else. Friendship and sympathy are dis
traction s that only interfere with com pleting a job .
W h en A unn was sent to Xen 'drik on an expedition,
although, he became strangely drawn to one of his
c o m p a n i o n s , a p a l a d i n o f t h e S i lv e r F l a m e . W h e n
t h e e x p e d i t i o n c l a i m e d h e r li f e, A u n n f o u n d h i m s e l f
in turmoil, questioning everything he learned in his
childhood and training. Now adventuring with a new
group of com panion s, he again finds him self drifting
away from the ideal of de tac hm ent he was taught,
becoming increasingly concerned with his allies'
goals and—to his horror—genuinely caring for them.

From that synthesis came kalashtar, and as a result,

PLAYING A KALASHTAR
Most kalash tar rem ain in the temp le-kee ps of Ad ar,
so any kala shtar traveling arou nd Kho rva ire prob
ably has a goo d reaso n for doing so. A ka las hta r
migh t be driven by a desire to bre ak the R ied ran
siege of A dar, or cou ld be on the run f rom the
Dreaming Dark.
The typical kalashtar is contemplative and serene.

Four sample kalashtar adventurers are des cribed

fare against the Dreaming Dark as well as the world's
m o r e t a n g i b l e e v i ls . E n e m i e s o u t n u m b e r h e r p e o p l e ,
yet she believes a source of pow er mu st exist that can
help her expunge corruption from the world. Per
haps the power lies within her and other brave souls
willing to defy evil, or perhaps it is a long-forgotten
artifact dating back to the daw n of the world. W ha t
ever the case, she intends to find it.
H alk ha d is a kala shtar cleric who grew up in the
temp le-ke eps o f A dar. Early in life, he volun teered to
b e c o m e a w a r r i o r - m i s s i o n a r y f o r t h e P a t h o f L ig h t
in Khorvaire. In his time away from Adar, he has
learned an important lesson: The best way to tend
to a person's spiritual needs is to seek out the root
of his or her crisis. H alk ha d ha s discovered that t he
core me ssag e of if Yannah resonates even am ong non-
kalash tar. A s he travels throu ghou t Khor vaire , he
prea che s the P ath o f Light's virtues to any who listen.

anyone from his line remains.

had comrades in this fight. Devas, spirits of light
born in mortal form, aided the couatls in their battle
against the dem on lords. D estin ed to be contin ually

DWARVES
T he dw arven clan s mig ht not be the most powerfu l or
historically celebrated of Eb erron's nations , but they
are the richest. The dwarves boast that the one who
really rules a king dom is not the one on the thro ne
but the one"who keeps the kingdom's purse.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Long before the rise of Galifar, bar ba ric dwa rven
clan s dwelt in the Frostfell. T he d warve s believe tha t
their people traveled south from this frigid land in
searc h of a more hospitable h om e. Stories tell how
t h e y re a c h e d t h e m o u n t a i n s o f n o r t h e a s t e r n K h o r 
vaire and there began mining great riches.
Th e dwarves' mo unta in hom e ran with blood
for centu ries as clan s battled one an other. O nly
when Galifar imposed peace upon the lands did
the clans learn the value of coop eration. A lthoug h
a n c i e n t g r u d g e s a n d e n m i t i e s r e m a i n , to d a y t h e y a r e
expressed through economic policies and occasional
espionage and sabotage rather than overt war.
Dwarves are loyal to their families and clans. They
exercise inf lue nce over the rest of Kh orva ire throug h
their wealth and the banking policies of House
Kundarak. Nearly all dwarves worship the Sover
eign Host, particularly Dol Arrah, Kol Korran, and
Onatar.
D W A RV E N L A N D S
Dwarves now live all across Khorvaire as well as in
Rie dra on the contin ent of Sarlon a, but their ances
tral hom eland is the Mro r Holds. Th ere, the dw arven
clans mine the seemingly endless veins of precious
metals and gems found in the Ironroot Mountains.
The Mror Holds is not exactly a kingdom, but is
instead mo re a cong lome rate of clan s run by dw arf
lords with the input of H ous e Ku nd ara k.
DRAGONMARKED HOUSES
Most dwarves who have dragon mark s are m em bers
of H ouse Kund arak. House Kund arak began as Clan
Ku nda rak, one of the powe rful dwarve n families. It
is the undisp uted m aste r of ban kin g, loans, and secu

ELA DRIN

comers to the world, but the race has in fact been
arou nd since the birth o f the world. Elad rin often
appear uncomfortable in Eberron owing to the hor
rors Eb erro n has recen tly underg one— horrors that
have rippled out to the eladrin and the Feywild.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
T he seven shin ing cities of the elad rin are called the
feyspires, and they have been appearing on Eber
ron since the Ag e of Gian ts. At certain conju nction s
between the Feywild and Eberron, the gleaming
towers of the feyspires would ap pear, allowing the
eladrin within to em erge and expe rien ce the world.
S o m e t i m e s , a f e w e l a d r i n w o u l d s ta y , s u c c u m b i n g t o
t h e b e a u t y o f a p l a c e o r t h e c h a r m o f i ts p e o p l e . A t
othe r times , leaving the feyspires was not a choice ,
such as when giants conquered Shae Tirias Tolai, the
City of Silver and B one . Th at feyspire appeare d in the
wilds of Xe n'd rik, and giants seized the op portu nity
to attack an d take the pop ulation of Sh ae Tirias T olai
i n t o ca p t i v i ty . T h e r a c e o f e l v e s d e s c e n d e d f r o m t h e s e
displaced eladrin.
Eladrin have had little historical or social impact
on Eberron. Before the war, when the feyspires
appeared in Ebe rron, their inhabitants would em erge
to trade with nearby settlements. This casual relation
ship with the world might have continued had the
feyspires not been present in Eberron on the Day of
M o u r n i n g . O n t h a t da y , t h e f e y s p i r e s w e r e s e v e r e d
from the Feywild, bec om ing pe rm ane nt parts of the
landscape of Eb erron. The displaced eladrin are no w
a d j u s t i n g to t h e i r n e w c i r c u m s t a n c e s o r a r e s e a r c h i n g
despera tely for a way bac k to the Fey wild.
Most eladrin worship their ancestors, although
som e gran t devotions to select deities of the Sovereig n
Host, particula rly A ure on and O lladra. A rare few
who are bitter about their exile in Eberron are drawn
t o t h e B l o o d o f V ol.
ELADRIN LANDS
A lthoug h a few com m uni ties o f eladrin are native to

GNOMES
Often overlooked by other races, gnomes are in fact
among history's greatest movers. A thirst for knowl
edge and secrets combined with natural charisma
and innate mystical talent make gnomes a race to be
reckoned with.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Gnomes originally came from the Feywild, but
no one know s w he n or how . W h a t is clear is that
gnomes arrived in the world in numbers far greater
th an did the eladrin . Gn om es have spread across the
world, but they have gathered in a few distinct com
m u n i t i e s , t h e g r e a te s t o f w h i c h i s Z i l a r g o . G n o m e s
are gregarious and friendly, but they are also fasci
nated by decep tion an d intrigue. A gno me is happie st
wh en he or she is un ear thi ng a neighbor's secrets or
engaging in subterfuge, even when the only result
m i g h t b e a s li g h t i n c r e a s e i n t h e v a l u e o f h i s o r h e r
property. Some gnomes think bigger, engaging in
espionage and conspiracy that can topple govern
me nts. W h en gnom es find trouble, they usually try
to talk or trick their w ay out of it. Ab ove all, gno m es
are a social people.
Gnomes share no common faith; almost every reli
gion of Eber ron counts gnom es amo ng its ranks.

tribes preserve serpen t cult traditions derived f rom
a reverence for the couatls that imprisoned demons;
the beliefs of the se goliaths are thu s related to the
faith of the Silver F lam e.

GOLIATH LANDS
Most goliaths in Khorvaire live in scattered tribes in
the Shadowcrags and the Icehorn Mountains, where
they have infrequent contact with the people of the
forested lowlands. Some goliaths also dwell in the
peaks of the Ironroot and the Hoarfrost mo un tains
of the Mror H olds, wh ere they sometim es inter

act with dwarves. Goliath tribes are also found in

Syrkarn, the Tashana Tundra on the continent of

HALF-ELVES
In Eberron, half-elves live primarily on Khorvaire,
w h e r e t h e y o u t n u m b e r t h e e lv e s f r o m w h o m t h e y
descend. Combining human flexibility and ambi
tion with elven wisdom and foresight, half-elves have
capitalized o n their racial talents to affect history and
culture in ways far greater than their numbers would
seem to allow.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Few living half-elves are the offspring of human
and elf paren ts. Since elves first ca m e to Kh orva ire,
half-elves have represe nted a distinct cu ltural
group, and most are de scend ants o f early inter
breeding. Half-elves originally hail from what today
is Val ena r, but they have since sp read acro ss th e
continent, migrating with Khorvaire's human popu
lations. H alf-elves never form ed their own nation.
Instea d, m em be rs of the race have had formativ e
roles in hu m an na tions. Th ey have steered th e
course of gov ernm ents, econo mi es, and wars, but
they have done so as individuals, organizations, or
guild s, nev er as a un ifie d society.
H alf-elves share the religious beliefs of their com 
munities and have no particular racial predilections.
Most worship the Sovereign Host or the Silver Flame,
although exceptions exist across Khorvaire.

A fter hu m an s, they are one of Eb erron's most ubiqu i

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
H alflin gs began as a tribal people wh o dwelled in
t h e T a l e n t a P l a i n s . T h e r e , t h e y l i v ed u n d i s t u r b e d
by others for many generations. As their search for

the halflings scarcely noticed, for their lifestyle
changed only slightly throughout the years of Gali

Halfling religious beliefs have remained the same
over the centuries, focusing on specific deities within
the Sovereign Host, especially Balinor.

HALF-ORCS
Half-ores are uncommon, and they usually live in
primitive communities and secluded regions. Such
areas afford half-ores the opportunity to'be judged
on merit rather than blood, which the inhabitants of
more civilized places often regard as tainted.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Like most hybrid races, half-ores have one of two
types of origins. Som e half-ores are the offspring o f
ore and hum an parents. Although such com min gling
i s u n c o m m o n a n d s o m e t i m e s t a b o o , i t o c c u r s f r e
quently in the wilder reache s of the contin ent. O ther
half-ores are the result of interbr eeding tha t o ccu rred
generation s ago. Su ch half-ores often form their ow n
tribes and c om mu nities.
The first half-ores appeared shortly after human
im mig ran ts from Sarlo na landed in weste rn an d
nor thw estern Kho rvaire , wh ere ores were alread y
l i v in g . A l i t t l e - k n o w n l e g e n d c l a i m s t h a t t h e G a t e 
keep er druids arran ged pairings of hu m an s and ores
to dete rm ine i f the offspring wou ld prove superior to
the constituent races, and thus be qualified to carry
on druidic traditions. Half-ores never spread through
out Khorvaire to the extent that half-elves did due to
their lower numbers and to social prejudices against
them . To this day, m em ber s of ma ny races regard
half-ores and ores in the sam e w ay -a s mor e bea st
than person.
Lik e half-elve s, half- ores follow wh atev er religio n
is dom inan t in their region. In the Sh adow Ma rch es,
t h e y m i g h t f o l lo w t h e d r u i d i c f a i t h o f t h e G a t e k e e p e r s
or be part of a Khy ber cult.
HALF-ORC LANDS
Half-ores live primarily in western Khorvaire, mostly
in tribes in the Shadow Marches. They also appear
in the Eldeen Reaches, in Droaam, and sporadically
in the De m on W aste s. H alf-ores do not represen t the
dominant race in any region; ores or humans out
number them.
A portion of the half-ore popu lation in D argu un
is enslaved. These slaves are descendants of half-ores
that hobgoblins bred in an effort to produce more
efficient soldiers.
DRAGONMARKED HOUSES
Half-ores would be easily dismissed were it not for
House Tharashk. Although humans comprise most of
the house, Tharashk also boasts many half-ores, a few
of wh om have developed the M ark of Findin g. T he
house even counts full-blooded ores among its ranks.

D&D 4E Eberron Player's Guide
HUMANS
For good or ill, hu m an s are the dom ina nt race on
Khorvaire and the most numerous on Sarlona.
Adaptable and ambitious, humans have defined his
tory in the recent age, and wherever Eberron's fate
goes in the future, humanity will undoubtedly be the
guiding force.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Humanity first arose on Sarlona. History fails to

inspired humans to leave, but leave they did, setting
out in prim itive ships. T he earliest explor ers cro ssed
the S ea of Ra ge, arriving in wh at are now the L haz-
aar Principalities and Q'barra. Later expeditions
traveled east across the Barren Sea, landing in the
D em on W astes, the Eldeen Rea ches, and the Shadow
M arch es. Few of those colonies survived.
O nc e it established a foothold in K horv aire,
humanity could not be stopped. Ragged bands of
explorers and pilgrims advanced across the conti
nent, and settlements emerg ed. To wn s be ca m e cities
and cities formed nations before finally coalescing
into the K ingd om o f Galifar. T he kin gdo m lasted for
centu ries until finally the Last W ar ca m e, crippling
hu ma nity w ith over a cent ury of wa rfare. Today,
h u m a n s s t i ll c o n t r o l m o s t o f K h o r v a i r e , a l t h o u g h t h e
peace between their nations is tenuous.
H UM AN LAN D S
H um ans claim most of Khorvaire. H um an popula

Principalities. Many human communities also thrive
in Q'barra, portions of the Eldee n Reac hes , and t he

w i t h i n g r o u p s o f o p e n - m i n d e d i n d i v i d u a l s.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Shifters descended from the intermingling of humans
and lycanthropes. No one knows when they originally
app eared , for at first, they were mi stak en for lycan
thropes in hu m an or hybrid form. Only when the
race grew mo re num erous did other races recognize
them as a distinct people.
Re cogn ition of the race did not includ e a ccep tanc e,
t h o u g h . O t h e r r a c e s a r e u n c o m f o r t a b l e a r o u n d s h if t

appearance. Many believe that shifters are essentially
t h e s a m e a s l y c a n t h r o p e s . I n f a c t, t h e C h u r c h o f t h e
Silver Flame's war against lycanthropes resulted

b e c o m e su s p i c i o u s . I n r u r a l e n v i r o n m e n t s , s h i f t e r s
are rarely tolerated.
A few shifters, particularly those attempting to
assimilate into other communities, grant devotions to
the Sovereign Host, particularly Balinor and Boldrei.
Others worship the Traveler or the Dark Six. Most
shifters, however, follow druidic sects or revere the
primal spirits.
SHIFTER LANDS
Although a few shifter communities exist, the race
controls no large regions in Khorvaire. The largest
shifter population dwells in the Eldeen Reaches.
O ther wi se, shifters reside in only the wildest regions
of hu m ano id nation s, eking out livings as hun ters and
trappers o r working as guides, trackers , or scouts.
In the ice-cov ered reache s of Sarlona's Ta sha na
Tund ra, ancestral ho me of Eberron's lycan thropes,
the shifters have carved out their own nations. These
thr ee natio ns are essentially groups of un ited trib es.
The struggle to survive in that land has prevented
shifters from exercising any significant influence
beyond its borders.

Shifters have no dragon mark ed houses, and the

KOBOLDS
Go blins have a milita nt and imperiou s nature; ores
practice savage and tribal ways. Kobolds, on the
other hand, seem to have no particular way at all. As
individuals, they have an array of motivations—greed,
f a i t h , p a t r i o t i s m , h u n g e r— y e t n o s i n g u l a r c u l t u r a l
identity drives their race. Or at least, there isn't one
t h a t t h e c i v i l i z ed h u m a n o i d s o f K h o r v a i r e h a v e b e e n
able to identify.
Small kobold tribes live in most mountainous or
jungle regions, but few sizable populations exist. The
largest kobold population dwells in Shaarat Kol in
Droaam. Large kobold tribes are also prevalent in the
jungles of Q'barra and in the D em on W astes. Kobolds
com e into con flict with other races mo st freq uently
in the mou ntai ns o f Zilargo, wh ere they battle against
gnomes. Scholars believe that a large kobold popula

one can say for certain.

takes a toll on the artificer. For this reason, an arti
ficer's su m m on ing is limited in both du ration an d
frequency.
SUMMONING
Powers that have the summoning keyword bring
crea ture s from elsew here , often other planes, to serve
you in a variety of ways.
SUMMONED CREATURE
A cr eatur e you summon uses these r ules, unless a
power descr iption says other wise.
•  A l li ed C r e a t u r e :  W h e n y ou u s e a s u m m o n i n g
power, you create a creature that is an ally to you
and your allies. Th e p ower deter m ines wh er e the
summoned creature appears.
•  Y o u r D e f e n s e s :  T h e s u m m o n e d c r e a t u r e ' s d e f e n s e s
equal yours when you summon it, not including any
temp or ar y b onus es or penalties to your statistics.
•  H i t P o i n t s :   T h e s u m m o n e d c r e a t u r e 's m a x i m u m
hit points equal your bloodied value. W he n the
summoned creature drops to 0 hit points, it is
des troy ed, and you lose a healing surge. If you have
no healing surges left, you instead take damage
equa l to half your bloodied value.
•  N o H e a l i n g S u r g e s :  T h e s u m m o n e d c r e a t u r e l a c k s
healing surges, but if  a  power allows it to spend a
healing surge, you can spend a healing surge for it.
T h e s u m m o n e d c r e a t u r e th e n g a i n s t h e b e n e f i t o f
the healing surge, instead of your gaining it.
•  S p e e d :  T h e s u m m o n i n g p o w e r d e t e r m i n e s t h e
summoned creature's speed.

•  Commanding the Creature:   The summoned crea
ture has no  actions o f its own; you spend actions
to command  it mentally. You  can  command the
creature only if you have line of effect   to it. Wh en
you command  th e creatur e, the t wo of you share
knowledge but not senses.
As a minor action, you c an  command the
summoned creature  to take one  of the follow
ing actions, if it is physically capable of taking that
action: crawl, esca pe, fly, open  or close  a door or a
container, pick up or drop an item, run, stand up,

The summoning power determines any
special commands you  ca n give  th e summoned
creature and gives  an action type  for each com

the check. Attacks and checks you make through
the creature do not include temporary bonuses or
penalties t o your statis tics.

FEATS
T he     Player's Guide  provides bot h gene ric feats
EB E R R O N
and feats oriented toward the setting.
DRA GONMA RK ED FEA T S
Some feats in this section have the  [ Dra gonmark |"
expression. These feats are associated with Eberron's
dragonmarks. A character can have only one such
dragonmarked feat. Each nonaberrant dragonmark
allows you to mast er ce rt ain r ituals as if you had t he
Ritual Cas ter feat. To use one of the se ritua ls, you
must still acquire the ritual and master it, and your
level must still equal or exceed the ritual's level. Your
DM can expand the list of rituals as he or she deems
appropriate.
DRAGONMARKED  H O USES
At the hea rt of the dra gonmarked houses
are bloodl ines of drag onmarked heirs that are each
of a single race . Th e Mar k of Heal ing appear s almost
exclusively among the halflings of House Jorasco, for
exa mple, and the mar ked heirs of Hous e Can nit h a re
all humans of a single line. As a player character, you
may choose to be an exception, because heroes are
uniquely significant individuals.
I f you cho ose a drag onmark for your char act er, you
have four options:
•  You coul d choose to be a member o f a dragon
marked house and its bloodline—for example, if you
choose to bear the Mark of Storm, you would be a
half-elf member of House Lyrandar and related to
th e oth er drag onmarked heirs of the hous e. In this
case, you have muc h in co mmon wit h the N PC heirs
of House Lyrandar. You will be influenced by the
action s and goals of your house, alt hough you an d
your DM can determine to what extent you will be
drawn into house politics.
PLAYINGCHARACTER
A DRAGONMARKED
You can take a dragonmarked feat at initial character
creation or during chara cte r advan cement. In the latter
case, the mark spontaneously develops as a result of the
stresses and exposures of your adventures. Such mani
festations of the Draconic Prophecy are not unheard
of in Eberron.
Dragonmarked feats should not be casually retrained
(see  Player' s   Handbook,  page 2 8 ) . A PC's place in the Dra
conic Prophecy is not abandoned or reassumed so easily.
A DM would be well within his or her rights to re quire
tha t a dragonmark be a lifelong commit ment on the part
of any PC.

D&D 4E Eberron Player's Guide
•  You could choo se to be a dista nt offshoot of a
dragonmarked bloodline, sharing the race that most
commonly manifests the mark but unencumbered
by ties to its house. For example, you could be a half-
el f with the Mark of St orm but without ties to Hous e
Lyrandar. You'd be an an omaly ; if House Lyranda r
be ca me a ware o f you, it would ta ke steps to bring you
and your wayward bloodline into the house.
•  You could cho ose to be a membe r of some oth er
race , even a rac e that has no dr ago nmarked hou se of
its own. You can choose to bear the Mark of Storm
even if you're an elf, a human, or a warfor ged. I n t his
case, your drago nmark is a direct manifesta tion of
the Prophecy and has nothing to do with the blood
line of th e house . You'll probabl y never meet an NP C
in the world like you, and House Lyrandar would not
claim you.
•  You could choose to bea r an aberrant drag onmark
without any concern for your character's race. Aber
rant marks are more common among those races that
of Eber ron
have dragonmarked houses—although a member of
any race could bear one—but they're still rare. The
exist enc e of an aber ran t drago nmark on a membe r of
any race is disturbing to the houses, and you would
be wise to avoid their attention.
H E R O I C  T I E R  FEATS
Feats in this section are available to characters of any
level, as long as they meet the prerequisites .
ABERRANT MARK   OF  CONTAGION
[DRAGONMARK]
B e n e f i t :   Whenever you hit an enemy with a daily
attack power, that enemy takes a   -2   penalty to saving
throws against ongoing damage until the end of the
encounter.
ABERRANT MARK   OF MADNESS
[DRAGONMARK]
B e n e f i t :   Whenever you hit an enemy with a daily
attack power, that enemy takes a   -2   penalty to Will
until the end of the encount er.
ABERRANT DRAGONMARKS
A member of any race might develop an aberrant dragon
mark. No matter who you are, such a mark brands you as
an outsider. Since the W ar of th e Mark, only the twelv e
marks associated with the dragonmarked houses are
de eme d a cce ptabl e. If you bear an aberran t mark, you
should beware of those who might hate and hunt you
for that reason.
Despite the similar te rms used, aberrant dragonmarks
have no special connection to creatures of the aberrant
origin.

only four. Still, the re can be no argu me nt that th e
Five N ations represent the heart of Kh orvair e, an d
perha ps of Eb erron . Th eir cultures and cus tom s
might differ, and their geography might vary widely
from one to the next, but each o f the F ive Nation s is
inextricably linked to the others by chains of com
m erc e, of history, and of slow reco very fro m the
Last W ar.
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
T he Five N ations w ere once unite d as the K ing
dom o f Galifar, encom passing m ost of Khorv aire.
A fter the death o f Kin g Jaro t, however, the king s
and qu een s of the Five Nation s vied for control.
Th e result was the Last W ar, a devastatin g c on flict
that raged for over a cen tur y and left no corn er of
the continent untouched. The destruction of Cyre
on the D ay of Mo ur nin g, followed by the Treaty of
Thronehold, finally put an end to the war and left
Khorvaire divided into the various nations, king
dom s, and reg ions o f today. Yet few citizen s of the
Five Nations believe that the struggle is truly over,
and each nation glares with suspicion and resent
ment at its neighbors.
Today, as the kin gd om s of the Five N ation s strug
gle to rebuild, they are more interested in economic
recovery than in overt conflict. Nevertheless, a con
stant cold wa r of espionage, border sk irmish es, and
economic manipulation exists between all four sur
viving nations, and cultural hatred and bigotry run
rampant.

elsewhere, outside these "civilized" regions. Precisely
how well the nonhuman races are accepted in the
Five Nations depends on the prevailing attitudes of a
nation or a community. Racial prejudice in the Five

Ma ny adven turers of the Five N ations are veterans

some adventurers have lofty and worthwhile goals,
others turn to adventuring out of avarice.

EYES, WH ISPERS , AND DAGGERS
Two kingdoms in the Five Nations maintain national
intelligence and espionage services: Aundair com
mands the Royal Eyes, and Breland operates the
King's Citadel. Karrnath lacks such an organization,
but the individual spies of the various Karrnathi
lords-all whom are spied on by operatives of King
Kaius Ill-are equally effective. These two organiza
tions are perfect resources for adventurers who seek
to serve their homelands.

A U NDA IR
Aundair is two nations in one. Pastoral villages and
farm land s line its bord ers or cluster aroun d the
keep s of the region's feudal lords. T he p eople he re are
simp le, even rustic. T he nation's great cities, howev er,
are alive with commerce and bustle with a crowd
nearly as cosm opo litan as that of Sh arn . T he house s
of gov ernm ent and institutions of high er lea rnin g

magically inclined. Yet whether one is listening to
scholars or farme rs, mages or laborers, A und airians

during the years Thronehold was abandoned. Although
the Five Nations retu rned t o the island, the city rema ins
neutral ground, and the criminal element continues to
thrive. As a character from Throneport, you might be a

of the cas tle. Or you might instead be a me m be r of the

Aundair is still struggling to recover from the war,
with both its military pow er and domestic resources
at low ebb. But Aurala's efforts are guiding Aundair
into a relatively swift regrowth, so hopes are high for
the nation's long-term survival. Queen Aurala and her

PEO PLE O E AUN D AIR
T he peo ple of A un dair are, by and large, a stub born

AUNDAIRIAN ADVENTURERS
Adven turers from Aun dair have the same range of
objectives and motivations as adventurers from the
other nations, but Aundairians are inclined to focus
their efforts toward rebuilding and restoring their
nation. The queen's efforts at expanding Aundair's

of th e populac e, and adv enture rs have adopted her

Breland's social advancements come at a cost. Its
thriving industries and wide social freedoms are a
breed ing ground for crim e and corruption. Althoug h
the abuses of Th rane's theoc racy are mor e w idely
known, Breland's various government agencies are
more generally corrupt. Organized criminal guilds
and crime families operate throughout the nation's
cities, ma nip ulat ing the country 's fina nce s and even
its legislation.
Although Breland's farms aren't individually as
prod uctive as the richest of A und air's, the nation
boasts a greater am oun t of quality farmlan d than any
of the other Five Nations. Th is agriculture, com bine d
with Breland's thriving manufacturing industries,

the Five Nations.

TH E   MOURNLAND (CYRE)
Cyre is no mor e. Th e P urple Jewel o f Galifar's C rown,
the most beautiful and artistically advanced of the
Five Nations, ceased to exist on the Day of Mourning.
Fou r years ago, with out warn ing an d without expla
nation, foul gray mists swept out from the nation's
center, leaving behi nd a brok en, twisted land of
horro rs. T hat the fear inspire d by the Mo urn ing led,
eventually, to the Treaty of Th ron eho ld a nd the end of
the L ast W a r is of little solace to Cy re's survivors, w ho
struggle today to make their way through a world that
fears and distrusts them.

P E O P L E   OE DARGUUN
Goblins and hobgoblins make up the greater portion
of Darguun's population; although bugbears hold a
great deal of power, they are not especially numerous.
Slaves—mostly humans, kobolds, and the occasional
gnome—round out the populace. A few members
of thes e races remain free, eithe r thr ough having
made themselves useful or by winning their freedom
through skill at arms. Darguuls particularly despise
elves due to various grudges against Valenar, and
most consider orcs to be savages.
No common faith unites Darguuls. Many goblins,
including Lhesh Haruuc, worship a pantheon consist
ing of several Sovereign Host deities; others worship
the Dark Six, particularly the Shadow and the Mock
ery. Most Dhakaani goblins acknowledge no god at
all.
DARGUUN  ADVENTURERS
Given their violent, militaristic culture, numerous
Darg uul s adopt an adventuring lifest yle. Th e major ity
re main with in the borders of the ir own homeland ,
but some travel far and wide, learning to operate
among the o the r peoples of the co ntin ent. Ventu r
ing out into the world and living among other races
make Darguun adventurers the most likely to come
to understand and accept members of other races as
potential equals.
DARGUUN ASSOCIATED SKILLS
If you are from Darguun, you can cho ose Athletics or
Endurance as your associated skill.
D a r g u u n M e r c e n a r y :  The goblins' most frequent
involvement with other races through the years
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dd-4e-eberron-players-guide
D&D 4E Eberron Player's Guide
has been as mercenaries, and although Darguun's
betrayal of Cyre has destroyed what little trust the
goblins might have enjoyed, others still find them
useful soldiers. You work privately or through the aus
pices of House Deneith or House Tharashk; in either
case, you go where you're told and fight for whom
you're told—as long as the price is right.
Rolevlaying  Tips: You don't have a mor al ag end a
per se, but you might cling to your own code of honor.
You j us t want to fight or advent ure as you're paid to
d o .  You know that outsiders don't trus t goblin mer
cenaries, so you make every effort to abide by your
contracts, knowing that even one change of heart
could ruin your ch anc es of ever being hire d ag ain.
Escape d Slave :  You managed to escape your
oppressive Darguul masters, and now you seek to
make your way in the world while avoiding capture
and punishment. You might adventure to make a
living on the run, or you might be looking for a way
to achieve revenge or arrange the liberation of loved
ones back home.
Rolevlaying  Tips: You fea r ca ptur e far mor e th an
death, and you resist any notion of cooperation
with your enslavers. That resistance doesn't have to
include all Darguun goblins-you might be a goblin
yourself—and it doesn't mean you object to slavery as
an institution (although you might). You're just deter
mined that it will never again happen to you.
P e a c e - S e e k e r :  You recognize that Darguun must
find a way to live alongside the other nations, even
if the majority of Darguuls do not. The hatred that
humans and other races feel for goblins will one day
turn to violence, and though you know your people
are the greatest warriors in the world, you also know
that you could not stand against all of Khorvaire's
inhabitants . Although you do not turn away from who
and what you are, you do what you can to prove to the
other nations that Darguun need not be an enemy.
Rolevlaying  Tips: Se ek out adven tur e along side
members of other races, and do not hesitate to prove
your worth to humans, dwarves, or gnomes in need.
You nee d not like them and you don't put up with
mistreatment, but you do your best to work with
them, rather than against them. As much as possible,
you kee p your wor d whe n you give it to th em, a nd
prevent your fellow goblins from har ming members
of other races without just cause.
THE   DEMON WASTES
At the northwestern edge of Khorvaire, the blasted
lands for m a twisted wind ow into the past. For her e,
where monsters roam and barb arian tribes eke out

the Age of Demons, a land that hasn't fully recovered
even after thousands of years.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Th e Treaty of Th roneho ld does not recognize D roa am
as a nation. But its rulers, the Daughters of Sora
Kell—a covey of hags—g overn it as one . A de cad e ago,
D ro aa m was a region in anarch y, its mo nstrou s tribes
and people warring against one another. Today, a
nu m be r of regional warlords, including the med usa
S h e s h k a ( th e Q u e e n o f S t o n e ) a n d t h e o n i m a g e D r u l
Kan tar, rule regions of D roa am , and all swea r fealty
to the Daughters. The nation functions, roughly but
effectively, as a cohesive whole despite the violence,
c h a o s , a n d b l o o d s h e d t h a t is s t i ll t h e n o r m w i t h i n
individual territories.
For years, Breland cla ime d the region now
called Dr oa am , but few hu m an s ever attempted to
establish co lonies the re; it is the a bod e of mon ster s.
Droaamish mercenaries were effective during the
Last W ar , and fear of their strength— and the hop e
that the Droaamites might prove valuable allies
should war come again—has prevented the Five
Nations from moving against them. This has not
calm ed public nervousness at having monsters on
Breland's borders, or halted those monsters' occa
sional raids into civilized lands.

make decisions that affect all clans equally. Other
than these issues, however, the clans govern them
selves, making alliances with outside nations, selling
the finest ores available on Khorvaire, and (through
House Kundarak) providing banking services.
RE GI ONAL FE ATURE S
T he Ironro ot M oun tains are the source of Mror's rich

honeycomb the mountains, and the slopes are dotted
with cities, fortresses, and c am ps .

intricate crafts, ancient traditions, and a willing
ness to interact with o utsiders. Other s, however, are
savages in the worst sense s of the wo rd, at tack ing
outsiders on sight and worshiping strange spirits of

communities. Small villages are scattered across
the swamp. Built on stilts or on the rare patch of
dry ground , these tow ns are ho me to the region's
more civilized tribes or to miners and prospectors
search ing for drago nshard s (usually un der the aegis
of H ouse T harash k). A few ruins, remains from the

Rin g of Siberys align.
Za rash 'ak: House Tha rashk constructed
Zarash'ak, the largest settlement in the Shadow
Marches, to enable trade in the region. Because it sits
far from Zarash Bay, merchants use skiffs to move
their goods to and from the so-called City of Stilts.
This practice has created a thriving local economy in
skif f bui ldin g, sales, and steerin g.
PEO PLE O E T H E SH AD O W M AR C H ES
W he th er they're wa nde rers or dwellers in the region's
far-flung villages, Marchers are an insular, tradition-
driven people who trust their fellow tribe mates and
family members, and nobody else. Over half the
p o p u l a t i o n c o n s is t s o f o r c s , w h o o u t n u m b e r h u m a n s
more than two to one. Goblins and half-ores make up
the oth er significant peop les of the region. V illagers
dress in loose-fitting, undyed tunics and leggings to
mak e work more com fortable, and they wear broad-
brimmed hats and wooden sandals or stilts while
tilling the fields in the marsh. The more primitive
tribes favor leathers or heavy fabrics that keep out the
insects, repel at least some water, and serve as make
shift armor.

Valenar's elves worship the spirits of their
ancestors—particularly great warriors or champions

heroes. The elves don't care who or what Valenar's
