Hi Everyone!

In addition to being taken out by illness for a few weeks, I'm still extremely busy with writing deadlines. I'll have a big announcement about that next week, but the critical point is that I haven't had the time and energy to write a serious article for the website. With that in mind, I would like to at least put up a Q&A or a short topic or two—and so I reach out to you, Inner Circle, for questions or topics? What would you like to know? 

Thanks as always for your support, and I hope to see some of you at Gen Con!

Hope you get well soon! Eberron is often described as "wide magic", but the breaking of the 13th moon and the destruction of civilization on Xen'drik make dragon and giant civilizations seem a lot more "high magic". Is this a fair assessment? Or do you see dragons and giants as having (had) wide-magic societies that were just punctuated by a few high-magic outliers? Did you have any particular guidelines when designing exotic language words such as those found in Giant or Goblin? Or were they, to some degree, made to sound exotic in the same way? For instance, "Du'rashka Tul", "Khesh" and "Rak Tulkhesh" seem to have something in common phonetically even though they are from Giant, Goblin and (likely) Abyssal/Infernal, respectively (and even though they have very different meanings).

One of my players is interested in playing a Dragonforged, and would like more information on them. Is there anything that didn't make it into Morgrave Miscellany? Do you have any existing dragonforged in mind?

From the Eberron server - "did the Dhakaani have internet?"

Joseph Meehan

"What is KB presents going to present?"

Historical figures- we know of Karrn and Lhazaar, Malleon, Jazhaal and Galifar... Who founded the Kingdom of Metrol, or which lath set the Talentans on their nomadic journey, any other big founders for other races or fallen nations?

Matt Brady

Does House Ghallanda take on the regional cuisines of the Five Nations or focus on a homogeneous universality to the food their cooks make? Same with drink. Or do they do Talenta cuisine? Some mixture of these three extremes perhaps? Same question for the Houses of Shadow, are they known for staging elven epics and tragedies (and comedies) or do they also create performances based on dwarven, human and other races' stories?

Zed Bundershot

Mordain the Fleshweaver was from House Phiarlan, but his bizzare interests seem to have commonalities with House Vadalis. Is there a Vadalis equivalent to Mordain; someone whose uses their gifts and used them for a purpose so far from the norm it seems alien or aberrant?

The Ghost Guardians are located in the Labyrinth to prevent fiends and their cultists/worshipers from getting into greater Khorvaire. But is their magic covering the other borders of the Wastes? And if not, are there other cultures/guardians perhaps in the Demonsong Channel that fight anyone trying to sail out of the Wastes?

Philip Hodder

How do the Daelkyr interact with the Draconic Prophecy (if at all)? Are they "outside" the prophecy? Did the prophecy foretell their arrival in Eberron? I think you've spoken before about how the Daelkyr could be responsible for aberrant marks if they are trying to corrupt it, but I was wondering if there was anything else going on.

Hi Keith, some people had questions about ocean currents in Eberron, so we identified a few questions we needed to answer to figure out the currents. 1. Shape and Size? 2. Direction of Rotation, Strength of Coriolis Force? 3. Normal Malenkovitch cycles? (Eccentricity, Obliquity, Tilt) 4. Black body radiation of star (What's it's name? Dol? Arrah?) 5. Height, Composition of Atmosphere 6. Albedo 7. Moment of Inertia (Core????) 8. Primary geological composition? 9. What is the Gravity? 10. Size and Location of Hadley Cells? 11. Ocean Topography? 12. Plate Tectonics? 13. Average Salt Percentage? 14. Average composition of a parcel of water at sea surface level? 15. Weather map? (Wind and precipitation) 16. How many jet streams does the planet support? 17. Does it even follow any of the normal rules of physics, or does magic kinda control everything and this is an Eberron-centric system and none of the moons are physical objects and the core is magic?

So I'm developing a basic sea trade system (stealing from Ships of the Spanish main) and I wanted to know how much does an average Eberron dragonshard weigh do you think? I ask because I think Eberron dragonshards would be the only dragonshard shipped in large amounts that could be made into a unit of cargo to be sold at port or on the black market.

Parker Wimberly

Another question that would be if you could expand on yuan-ti in eberron, where did they come from. Are they really fallen Shulassakar or come about separately. Do you think there would be pockets of them Yuan-ti in the Lhazaar Principalities.
