Aundair is traditionally seen the heart of Arcane Science development on Khorvaire, which is fairly rigorous, structured, and scientific approach to the use of magic. Aundair is also “Fey Magic Land” where Magic is far more whimsical, vibes and plot based, and chaotic. How do these two fairly different approaches to Magic coexist?

Jarrod Taylor

Was the skyberg that the floating towers of Arcanix were built upon inhabited beforehand, was it a naturally occurring floating island, or was the chunk of earth raised by the founding mages?

Sims

1.) Aundair is known for having one of the higher Khoravar and elven populations, and presumably due to the high fey influence gnomes as well. How do the less aesthetically pleasing species fit into Aundair, such as orcs, dwarves or shifters (particularly since they are rebellious Reachers!)? 2.) Religious demographics of Aundair? Are there still Pure Flame or even Silver Flame sects? Cults such as the Shadow Court? Any Seekers whatsoever? 3.) Possible plans for reclamation of either the Reaches or Thaliost? 4.) Karnnath’s noble culture is dominated by more independent warlords ruling their own Demense. How are Aundairans? 5.) With the loss of Reach estates, are the former Eldeen lords stuck in Fairhaven manors? Are their opportunities for them to gain new lands, or are they funneled to military service in the reclamation efforts? 6.) What was the Kingdom of Thaliost and the pre-kingdom region like? 7.) What manifest zones dominated the region besides Thelanis? Syrannia seems like a no brainer because of the knowledge, big Shavarath and Fernia both seem like possible major (if not as major in martial Karnnath or industrious Breland) options to explain the production of magics. 8.) What’s the geography like? 9.) Any post-Dhakanni cultures such as the Nassar Bugbears in Karnnath?

As far as monarchies go in Eberron, Aundair seems pretty strong in comparison to Karrnath (accusations of vampirism being an open secret as well as disgruntled nobility who wanted to keep the war going) and Breland (strong parliament); how much did marrying a Dragonmarked Heir rattle this perception both among the nobility and the common people? In comparison to the other monarchs, how strong is Aurala considered to be? IIRC, she was one of the loudest voices claiming Cyre had no land, and therefore no longer existed, but she's been unable to secure Thaolist in any war settlements since, despite it being formerly Aundair. I'd love to know more about her spheres of influence and where she's strongest.

Sean Riley

What's the education like of those outside of Arcanix in Aundair, both in the humanities (humanoidities?) and more practical magic? I remember reading things about how the emphasis on classics in Victorian Europe meant you'd end up with strange (to us) stuff like coal miners being able to accurately quote Shakespeare -- is that what the Aundair countryside is like given Aundair's focus on learning? How does magic factor into Aundair's agricultural focus: Is it beautiful, pastoral painting fodder (albeit with the ruins of the Last War in the background) but with floating buckets of water? Or does Aundair turn its magical prowess into mega-farms?

Jessie Harris

1. What accent would you give Aundarians? 2. Who is Aundairs most eligible bachelor (gender neutral? And/or, who do Aundarian teens have dreamy portraits of in their Arcane Lockers?

Ben

How does the Arcane Congress function as an organization that works alongside the crown? Are they the secret power behind the throne, or more of a consultative body with the Minister of Magic as the liaison?

Erik Saulness

Can you please expound on the influence of Sul Katesh on Aundair and what role the lords of Dust are playing? With Jorlanna d’Cannith for example (a character in my game is playing the mixed mark child of Jorlanna and his Deneith father… but he doesn’t know about his parentage yet)

Matt Dance

Of all the Five Nations, Aundair seems to have the fewest large cities and towns. Even allowing for the high-level perspective of the canon map, I’ve always assumed that Aundair is the most proportionally rural and agrarian of the Five. Is that a correct assumption? Either way, what is life like in the Aundairian countryside? What are the major manifest zones (other than Thelanis, obviously)? And how does the countryside culture influence the lifestyle and outlook of the nation as a whole?

William DTB Haley

Are there any regional sub cultures in Aundair (linguistic dialects, cultural variety, etc)? In my head Aundair seemed akin to a post-medieval but premodern France so I wonder if it has any Kannon equivalents to France the likes of Brittany, Occitania, and Provence with slightly different demography, dialects, and other regional flair.

Patrick Reupert

With Aundair being the greens garden and magic capital of the Kingdom, it will be very rich and stated to be so. How would you see art being integrated, what kind of artistic expression is most common in the country? Would Arcanix be close to Strixhavens Prismari college, or more Quandrix

Micaerys

An interesting theme in Eberron is how after the war the perception people have of their government has changed or shifted, and many wonder how it will be in the future. With the obvious exception of Cyre, all the other nations still have the same Wynarn head of state (or Blood Regent, in Diani's case) they had at the end of the Last War, and in Aundair's case, Aurala is regarded as a strong ruler, more competent than her mother. My question is: how does people perceive the future of their country when Aurala is no longer in power? Is Prince Wrogar appreciated beyond him being a nice young man, or does he share the same criticism his Brelish relatives face? Moreover, how does that interact with his ambitious uncle Adal, who might not have heirs of his own (beyond bastards) but might have more experience and cunning to take a crown for himself?

Harvey Clarke

Breland has manpower, Droaam has monsters, Karrnath has tactics, Thrane has faith... With the prevalence of magic across Khorvaire, what makes Aundair's magic unique? With Arcanix and Arcane Congress, do they simply have THE MOST magic - more people know a cantrip, more uncommon magic items - or is there an element where Aundairian magic is more developed than arcane spellcasting elsewhere?

Jarrod Taylor

Do the ir'Lains take pride in making warlock/fey pacts with Margana or her agents? Is there any obvious favoritism from the self-made archfey to her mortal descendants?

Jarrod Taylor

Do the fey have a name for Aundair, similar to how pacts with Estara still applied to Cyre? Do they know it as Thaliost?

Patrik Malý

Hi Keith, I think an interesting part of the Deep Dive could be a little background on the individual members of the Triumvirate of Aundair and their current schemes (aside, of course, from research into devastating battle magic). What political schemes are they currently pursuing?

David Armstrong

What major role(s) did Aundair play in the Last War, if any, and what tensions or ambassadorial conflicts currently exist between Aundair and its neighboring nations? For that matter, since the Treaty of Thronehold was signed, how does the crown of Aundair feel about the newly minted nations (particularly the Reaches, but also Zilargo, Darguun, and others)? Are there any strong alliances or points of contention between them that still need addressing?

Carlton Anderson

Given their comparative rarity in Khorvaire, how aware are potential Aundairan interest groups such as the Royal Eyes and Arcane Congress of psionics IYE? Are any of them aware of the influence of The Dreaming Dark and/or the shadow war between the quori and kalashtar, or do they generally fly under their collective radar despite Aundair's historical role as the "mage" of the Five Nations?

Martin Westerberg

What is the airspeed velocity of a dragonhawk laden with a party of four compared to a lyrandar airship?

Snark Knight

Like the Karrnathi Lumber Lords or Dwarves relationship with the Realm Below, is there a part of Aundair that has developed the most over the years or you'd like to develop?

Ashely Montague

i want to know more about the school for wizards arcanix ?

hyperewok1

What other archfey are prominent in Aundair? And also who is the art of?

Erik Saulness

I tend to think of Aundair as the best choice for a Three Musketeers type story. Can you tell us something about Aundair’s dueling culture, being sure to include wandslingers?

Sergei Lakissov

If you're asked about races that aren't generally associated with Aundair and had to come up with some interesting diasporas for them, still fitting the Aundair vibe, what ideas would you have? E.g., dwarves, city goblins, dragonborn, orcs. I realize that the majority would think of themselves as aundairians first - but I am wondering if there could be some cool uniquely aundairian diasporas for those races.

Axelle McNarrow

Hello, if I remember correctly, there are centaurs of fey descent North of Aundair that have some kind of link with the royal family but is there more informations on those tribes ?

Jarrod Taylor

What is in the Chanthwood? Maps show a road cuts through it connecting Wyr to Tanar.

Zachary Butler

What are the most important things you would want to highlight for a party visiting the city of Passage?

Jimberish

My question relates peripherally to your Fallen Angel adventure. I'm wondering, if I were to decide there was some measure of truth to the rumor that the Glass Tower was brought low by Aundairian saboteurs, because they were either part of or manipulating Sythrael's cult, how might you flesh out such a group? This would be, as I recall, in the very early days of the Last War, right? Any particular groups in Aundair spring to mind for pulling off such an act? Also, now that angels have been more fleshed out in Exploring Eberron, do you have any thoughts about what sort of Domain might be appropriate for Sythrael? Perhaps his nature has some particular appeal to these mysterious Aundairian agents?
