CHAPTER ONE: WHAT IS EBERRON?
This chapter explores these core themes
characters you create in Eberron. Here’s a quick
overview of what lies ahead.
•
A Magical World.
From warforged
and airships to the mighty dragonmarked
houses, magic is a part of the world and its
stories.
•
Pulp Adventure.
Whether you’re
leaping from an airship or battling demons
in forgotten ruins, Eberron encourages
cinematic action and swashbuckling
adventure.
•
Neo-Noir Intrigue.
Eberron is a world
and villain is easily blurred, and even the
champions of the light may have things
they regret.
The Last War.
Eberron has just emerged
from a century-long civil war, and the scars

bound by a golden ring
and surrounded by twelve
moons. It’s the intersection of
thirteen planes of existence,
which shift in and out of alignment. It’s a place
where magic has been harnessed as a tool—used
to build cities, to sail ships through the skies, to
create both wonders and weapons.
Eberron embraces swashbuckling action and
pulp adventure and adds a layer of neo-noir
intrigue. Stories don’t always end well and there
isn’t a perfect answer to every problem. The
Last War turned old allies into bitter enemies
and destroyed an entire nation, leaving terrible
scars behind. Crime and corruption lurk in the
great cities of Khorvaire. Hidden dragons shape

the dreams of the unwary. Human greed and
ambition may prove more dangerous than any
devil or demon. But through this darkness, there
are opportunities for a group of bold adventurers

•
The Mourning.
This mystical cataclysm
destroyed an entire nation and created a
deadly wasteland in the heart of Khorvaire.
The Mourning brought the war to an end,
but it is a mystery and a threat that looms
large over Eberron.
•
Ancient Mysteries.
Powerful artifacts
are hidden in the ruined cities of giants.
Dragons and demons scheme in the
shadows, unraveling a prophecy that could
shape the future. These ancient mysteries
can be a source of fantastic adventures and
terrible danger.
•
If it exists in D&D, it has a place in
Eberron…
But it may not be the place
you’re used to.
These elements are all part of Eberron, but
you don’t have to use all of them in every story.
As you go through this chapter, decide which
want to tell.
