AFTERMATH OF THE LA8_! WA�
The Mror Holds declared independence during the Last
War. Many nations depend on the resource of the Holds,
and the Treaty of Thronehold affirmed its sovereignty.
To the casual observer, the Mror dwarves' star ap
pears to be rising. Their mines seem to offer limitless
resources. Mror artificers make amazing strides as
they study the relics of their ancestors. The dwarves are
proud of their ancient past and optimistic about the fu
ture. Most Mror are generous and courageous, eager to
show off their wealth and accomplishments.
Those who dig deeper realize that this prosperity is
built on an unstable foundation. The Last War may be
over, but the war against the daelkyr has barely begun.
The clan lords hold their reclaimed halls in the Realm
Below, but no one knows the full extent of the power of
the daelkyr. A renewed assault could come at any time,
whether it's a force of monsters boiling up from below or
a creeping madness that infects the weak-willed.
The dwarves are also divided by their attitude toward
the aberrations. Some of the clans-notably Soldorak
embrace symbionts and other daelkyr gifts; some even
experiment with flesh-warping techniques and create
their own monsters. Others-notably Clan Mroranon
avoid contact with the aberrations. Such dwarves trea
sure the relics of their ancestors but despise those who
use symbionts or form pacts with the darkness.
Long ago, the dwarves engaged in vicious feuds that
kept them from uniting as a nation. This new divide
could reignite those rivalries, leading to a civil war on
the surface even as evil gains strength in the depths.
Q'BARRA
Capital: Newthrone
Hallmarks: Eberron dragonshards, rare herbs
Q'barra is a young nation on the edge of Khorvaire, an
untamed frontier filled with danger and opportunity.
During the golden age of Galifar, few humans bothered
to cross the Endworld Mountains to explore the vast
jungle beyond. When the Last War broke out, a fleet of
settlers came to Q'barra in search of a new home far
from the war. As this settlement expanded, the settlers
discovered massive deposits of Eberron dragonshards
(see chapter 5). Over the past decade, a wave of pros
pectors, wandslingers, refugees, and fortune-seekers
have descended on Q'barra, along with brigands, de
serters from the war, and all manner of criminals and
opportunists.
To their surprise, Q'barra was already home to a num
ber of ancient civilizations humans know nothing about:
the lizardfolk of the Cold Sun Federation, the dragon
born of Ka'rhashan, and the confederacy of the Poison
Dusk lizardfolk. Most settlers refer to them collectively
as "scales." King Sebastes ir'Kesslan of Newthrone has
established a treaty with the Cold Sun Federation, but
communication has been difficult and prospectors rarely
abide by the terms of the treaty.INTERESTING THINGS
