Eberron - Rising from the Last War

Warden. The Warden's focus isn't so much on the peo­

ple of the nation, but on the land encompassed within

its borders, both cultivated and wild. Sometimes that

extends to protecting the border from incursions, but

more often a Warden contend with monstrosities and

wild beasts that threaten the populace, magical cor­

ruption that harms the land, and disasters jeopardiz­

ing the nation as a whole. Wardens are often rangers

or druids, with proficiency in Nature and Perception.

They might come from backgrounds as outlanders or

hermits, making them more comfortable in the wilds

than in cities or royal courts.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Sometimes there's a fine line between the missions

assigned by a head of state and those of an espionage

agency or a military force, but your team's central fo­

cus is politics. As a group, consult the Cyran Affairs

table and work with your DM to decide what kinds of

adventures you undertake on behalf of Prince Oargev.

The Heads of State table at the end of the section offers

additional options for leaders who might make appeal­

ing patrons.

CYRAN AFFAIRS

d6 Mission

Convince nations to recognize Oargev as a sovereign

2 Wo rk diplomatically to secure land for a Cyran nation

3 Track down agents and infiltrators from other nations

who are acting against New Cyre's interests

4 Venture into the Mourn land to salvage Cyran treasures

5 Aid Cyran refugees in Breland and elsewhere

6 Make incriminating or embarrassing evidence about

the prince quietly disappear

OFFICIAL STATUS
Heads of state employ a variety of agents. Some are offi­
cially recognized, but others are expected to operate on
the borders of legality. Consult the State Status table to
determine the nature of your group's work

STATE STATUS

d6 Status

1-3 Official. You hold an official position and are recog­

nized as attached to your patron. You can expect the

head of state's support, but you must also ensure

your actions avoid staining your patron's reputation.

4-5 Shadow. You can expect no official, public recognition

of your work, but the head of state you work for does

acknowledge you in private and provide help.

6 Double. Your allegiance lies with an official or govern­

ment other than the one you overtly serve. You may

receive support from the head of state you openly an­

swer follow, as well as the official you secretly report

to, but must remain on constant guard against having

your true loyalties revealed.

HEAD OF STATE CONTACTS

Often, your connection to your patron is quite direct­

the head of state summons you, grants you an audience,

and gives you an assignment or hears your report.

Heads of state are busy people, though, and if your

business isn't pressing, you might be handled by a func­

tionary of the court. The State Contacts table provides

several options for what functionaries your group might

work with when the head of state is indisposed.

STATE CONTACTS

d8 Contact

A disapproving courtier who finds your extrajudicial

work highly distasteful

2 A fawning sycophant who figures you are the best path

to the head of state's good graces

3 A wide-eyed bureaucrat who dreams of living a life as

exciting and dangerous as yours

4 A scheming relative of the head of state who sees you

as a path toward seizing power

5 A bored chancellor who is constantly irritated at the

amount of money you spend

6 A grumpy ex·adventurer who was "promoted" from

doing your job to supervising you

7 A worried parental figure who is sure that every mis­

sion will be your last

8 The ghost of the previous head of state
