There are some obvious Scars from Shavarath- like Brelish kings being eaten by mariliths and Valin Field becoming a manifest zone overlapping with Mabar, but what are some other lingering effects or presences the Endless Battleground had on Khorvaire? Are there any lingering effects on Shavarath because of ehat happened during the Last War?

1.) The Seven Stones was an Aundarian task force spearheaded by Mordain the Fleshweaver’s protege, Elira Dawn, who experimented and used war magic derived from both Overlords and Daelkyr. So horrific were the magics used that Aundair actually executed its members - though Dawn was spirited away to Stormreach. What are some examples of what the Seven Stones created and the effects they had on the landscape? Did they perhaps cast a meteor swarm connected to Rak Tulkesh that has left a mile radius that drives anyone to enter it? Are their roving Cloudkills, but are instead aberrations or oozes due to them being derived from Daelkyr learnings and instead of dissipate have survived and are hiding in the forests of Thrane? 2.) The new Gallowspeaker is formed from the spirits of those who died in mass executions or battles. Are there any haunting visages near Mabaran battlefields? 3.) Breland at one point tried to align with Shavarath fiends (I believe), but it didn’t work and the monarch at the time killed. Are there any lasting effects from the portal? Do demons surge from the portal? 4.) Did the Mournland or any of the Seven Stones magics effect manifest zones or Khyber Demiplanes?

In Sharn: City of Towers we get a mention of a certain fey defined (at least in this incarnation of herself) by the Last War. Are there other planar being in Eberron that, against all expectations, are still recovering/talking about this mortal conflict?

How might non-Cyrans observe the Day of Mourning? Would folks observe the Day of Mourning for its personal stakes in addition to the impact it had on the world or their nation? As an example, in The Forge of War, both Boranel and Krozen are called out as having lost people important to them and to their nations in the Mourning (Princess Borann and Bishop-Militant Gradon, respectively).

How has the relative impassability of Cyre and the severing of the lightning rail line affected the lives of everyday folks across Khorvaire? Are there goods that are now hard to get in the east vs. west. Are there cultural changes that are happening due to this separation?

Was the LW super destructive (blasted farmlands, ruined villages, dead civilians), or was it not a “total war”? Sharn was attacked multiple times even though it was far from the front lines.

Have city goblins had to deal with increased bigotry since Lhesh Haruuc turned on Cyre and founded Darguun? Perhaps especially (but not exclusively) from Cyran refugees? Are Tairnadal elves, when recognized as such, subject to similar hostility for similar reasons, whether they have anything to do with Valenar or not? Again, perhaps especially among the Cyran diaspora?

Matt Dance

How was Khorvaire’s economy affected? Is there a labor shortage? Did the neutrality of the dragonmarked houses limit damage to trade?

I'm particularly interested in those regions of the five nations which border, not only one another, but also the Mournlands. For example, the region near Vathirond was a major hot spot during the LW; Thrane, Cyre, and Breland all fighting for control/advantage. Now there is a tentative peace between Thrane and Breland, but both must also deal with the horrors on their doorstep. There are other similar locales. What interesting stories or challenges do you envision in these areas?
