Eberron - Rising from the Last War

seek to make extra gold, and pirates prey on everyone.
Ports come and go, falling prey to monsters or natural
disasters. But two harbors have stood the test of time.
Dar Qat. The Inspired lords of Riedra are just as
interested in the resources of Xen'drik as the people of
Khorvaire. Dar Qat is a Riedran port, a fortress built
from glittering crysteel (grown crystal as strong as steel)
and dwarfed by a nearby monolith believed to serve as
a psychic anchor for the city. Outsiders are rarely wel­
come within the walls of Dar Qat.
Stormreach. Once a haven for pirates and smugglers,
Stormreach has become a thriving port that serves
as the passage to the Xen'drik interior. All the dragon­
marked houses have outposts in the city, and it is home
to refugees, renegades, criminals, and others who have
no place on the other continents. The city is ruled by the
council of Storm Lords, who hold absolute power. As
Stormreach is built on the foundations of an ancient gi­
ant city, ruins abound around and below the city. Some
fear that if the city continues to expand, the growth will
trigger an ancient curse. But for now, Stormreach is a
prosperous community and a gateway to adventure.

XEN'DRIK'S INFLUENCE IN

KHORVAIRE

In Khorvaire, you might ...

• Befriend a drow making their way in the new world.


• Stop the Emerald Claw from using a giant artifact to
  destroy a city.


• Aid a scholar in deciphering a book of prophecy found
  in the heart of Xen'drik and brought to Stormreach.
  The tremendous diversity of the people of Xen'drik
  means that no single trait defines objects and artifacts
  from this land. The primitive drow make armor compa­
  rable to studded leather using the chitin of giant scor­
  pions. Rumors abound of more advanced drow civiliza­
  tions in the layers of Khyber that lie beneath Xen'drik.
  The elves lived and fought in Xen'drik before the exodus
  that took them to Aerenal, and elven artifacts remain
  scattered across the region. And the grandest treasures
  include the work of the giants-which can often be diffi­
  cult to use because of their size. The spell book of a giant
  wizard might hold priceless secrets, but the bulky tome
  can be quite awkward for smaller folk.

CHAPTER 2 I KHORVAIRE GAZETTEER

FAITHS OF

KHORVAIRE

Religion plays an important role in Eberron. The gods

don't manifest physically, but people of faith believe that

divine forces shape everyday life. Shared beliefs unite

communities and can provide hope in difficult times.

Most Khorvairians acknowledge the pantheon of

the Sovereign Host and its malign shadow, the Dark

Six. The Sovereign Host was the dominant faith of the

Kingdom of Galifar and holds sway over most of Khor­

vaire-except for Thrane, which favors the Church of the

Silver Flame. Other religions connect specific cultures

or communities; the kalashtar observe the Path of Light,

and the Undying Court guides the elves of Aerenal.

Religion is especially important for a paladin, cleric,

or druid, yet any character can have faith in a higher

power. Following a religion is a way to give your charac­

ter a deeper connection to the world and a bond to other

members of the community. The Foundation of Faith

table can provide ideas for the source of your beliefs.

Conversely, a lack of faith can also be a meaningful

part of your story. If you don't believe in any divine

power, what caused such doubt? The Rejection of Faith

table offers ideas that can help shape your story.

FOUNDATION OF FAITH

d6 Foundation

You were raised in the faith. Your religion is an import­

ant part of your family and community.

2 Someone you care about-a mentor, a friend, or a

lover-introduced you to the faith.

3 You were raised in a different religion but became

drawn to the ideals and beliefs of your current faith.

4 You never took your faith seriously. Then you made a

vow during the Last War, pledging your devotion if a

disaster was averted ... and it was.

5 You're devoted to your religion, but you've never been

formally educated in its ways. You follow your own

personal interpretation.

6 You had a transcendental experience and believe you

have a divine purpose to fulfill.

REJ ECTION OF FAITH

d6 Rejection

You believe that the magic of clerics and paladins

doesn't come from deities, but from the caster's inner

power or belief.

2 You come from an agnostic community and give little

thought to spiritual matters.

3 You were once deeply devout, but a tragedy during the

Last War caused you to question your faith.

4 A personal loss or betrayal shook your faith.

5 You were spiritually scarred by an encou nter with a

fiend or aberration.

6 You've created your own personal religion and believe

that all the established faiths are flawed.
