Eberron Rising From the Last War

d6 Mission

3 Dawn Raid. You traveled hundreds of miles around en­

emy lines to reach your target. In a single day, months

of enemy preparation went up in fl ames.

4 Break the Line. During a key battle, you were part of a

heroic push to break the enemy line.

5 Liberator. You were at the forefront of a daring assault

to liberate a captured citadel or town.

6 Sharp Eye. The enemy's secret attack would've been

devastating. Luckily, you spotted it in time.

NEMESIS

During the Last War, you had a run-in with a particu­

larly dangerous foe, one who still haunts your night­

mares. One day you'll have your revenge. Consult the

Nemesis table to determine the identity of your foe.

NEMESIS

d6 Nemesis

Necromancer. You lost a lot of friends in battle, but

what made it worse was watching that cackling wizard

raise them as zombies and turn them against you.

2 Camp Commandant. As prisoners of war, you were

captured and subjected to brutal conditions in a pris­

oner camp. The commandant delighted in your pain.

3 Inept Commander. Your friends would still be alive if

one incompetent officer with political power and influ­

ential allies hadn't sent you on a disastrous mission.

4 Colossus. You were among those who survived an

encounter with a warforged colossus. Cyre or House

Cannith-whoever was responsible for such a night­

mare-deserves whatever evil fate comes their way.

5 Mercenaries. A band of traitorous mercenaries who

switched sides, turning the battle against you.

6 Champion. One mighty hero fought on the enemy side,

wielding powerful magic and cruel strategies against

the rank-and-file soldiers on your side.

MILITARY CONTACTS
Your group's primary contact within your hierarchy is
generally your superior officer-the person who gives
you orders and is responsible for your success or failure.
The Commanding Officer table offers suggestions for
the personality and goals of that officer.

COMMANDING OFFICER

d8 Officer

An angry officer who yells every order, reprimands you

for even the smallest mistake, and fu lly expects you to

fail at every mission you undertake

2 A battle-scarred officer who experienced terrible hor­

rors during the Last War and is barely capable of giving

you orders through a haze of intoxication

d8 Officer

3 A grim officer who expects the Last War to reignite at

any moment and intends to be ready

4 A cheerful officer with a dark sense of humor who mer­

rily sends you into grave danger

5 A kindly officer who is hesitant to send you into danger

and constantly reminds you to be careful

6 A bitter officer who carries deep grudges against your

nation's enemies in the Last War and leaps at any

chance to deal them any blow

7 An optimistic officer who believes that a new era of

peace is just over the horizon, as soon as these few

last military tasks are complete

8 A devout officer who believes that your success or fail­

ure lies entirely in divine hands and you're ultimately

just along for the ride

OTHER MILITARY FORCES

Every nation in Khorvaire has its military forces. In

addition to the Redcloak Battalion, the following groups

number among the forces most likely to make use of a

team of adventurers:

Blademarks Guild. House Deneith manages mercenary

activities across Khorvaire through its Blademarks

Guild, with house members serving as officers, train­

ers, and strategists. The rank-and-file soldiers of the

guild are largely human mercenaries but also includes

significant numbers of hobgoblins from Darguun,

elves from Va lenar, and Cyran soldiers who no longer

have a nation to fight for.

Maruk Ghaash'kala. Among the ore tribes of the

Demon Wastes, the Maruk tribe inhabits the deadly

Labyrinth that lies between the wastes and the Eldeen

Reaches. In its sacred dedication to containing the

threat of the Lords of Dust, it draws significant num­

bers of ore barbarians from the Shadow Marches, hu­

man scouts from the Eldeen Reaches, and even youths

from the Carrion Tribes that live deeper in the wastes.

Q'barra. The frontier nation of Q'barra has significant

need for military forces to protect its communities

from the lizardfolk, warbands from Valenar, Lhazaar

marauders, and other dangers of the jungle.

Valenar. The elves of Valenar have no interest in peace,

but they participated in the talks that led to the Treaty

of Thronehold to gauge the measure of their enemies

and gain acceptance in the human courts. Today,

Va lenar forces continue to raid the Talenta Plains and

Q'barra on a regular basis, in stark defiance of the

Treaty of Thronehold. A Valenar warband is unlikely

to contain members of races other than elves and per­

haps half-elves, but such a band could make an inter­

esting military party.
