CHAPTER 2 21 NATIONS OF EBERRON This section provides an overview of the nations of Khorvaire. The focus is on what you need to know to create characters and NPCs from these places.

The Five Nations. Aundair, Breland, Cyre, Karrnath and Thrane are collectively referred to as the Five Nations. These nations formed the heart of the Kingdom of Galifar, and while each has a unique cultural identity they are built on this shared foundation. Families are spread across the Five Nations; the rulers of the Five Nations are tied to the Wynarns, the royal bloodline of       has more in common with a Thrane than they do with a Zil gnome or a Lhazaar pirate. Aside from Cyre—which was destroyed in the Last War—the Five Nations remain the largest and most powerful countries in Khorvaire.

These nations abide by a common set of laws and maintain diplomatic relations.

The Five Nations are connected by an excellent system of roads, and travelers can always make their way by horse or coach. Major cities are tied together by the lightning rail of House Orien, which allows you to avoid the perils—and tedium—of the roads. If speed is an issue, you can book passage on a Lyrandar airship. This is the fastest way to travel, but also the most expensive. AUNDAIR nations.

Magic is a part of daily life throughout the Five Nations, but it is especially common in Aundair; the nation produces more magewrights and wandslingers than any other. From the nobles in the towers of Fairhaven to the common folk working the vast vineyards of Bluevine, Aundairians value wit and wisdom. However, the Silver Flame also has a deeply devoted following—some might say overzealous or extreme. Aurala is a just ruler, but she has never abandoned the dream of a Galifar reunited under her rule.

Capital: Wroat Noted for Industry, manufactured goods, metalwork, processed ore; organized crime, subterfuge In the wake of the Last War, Breland is one of the most powerful nations in Khorvaire. Possessing a large population and abundant resources, Breland leads the Five Nations in industry. The Brelish are known for their pragmatism and independence.

Cyrans value diversity and versatility, both in talents and thought. Many survivors have questioned their faith in the wake of the Mourning, but some believe that this is a divine trial and a time when faith is needed more than ever. Some refugees support Oargev and the dream of a restored Cyre, while others prefer to focus on the future instead of trying to reclaim the past. As a Cyran you should decide whether you hold tight to your national identity, or whether consider yourself to be an adventurer without a nation. The house maintained arcane workshops across Cyre. Who knows what treasures wait in Cannith vaults for those who brave the dangers of the Mournland? Some have made a point of continuing this custom. What Have You Lost? Did you lose wealth or status? Did you have family or loved ones lost lo st in the Mourning?

Did you lose something you could one day recover from the Mournland— arcane research, an heirloom artifact? Consider the impact this has on your background. As a Cyran noble or soldier, your estates have been lost and your army scattered; but you still have the respect of your comrades or peers. What Do You Hold Onto? Do you have a trinket that embodies Cyre for you? Is your wand or weapon an heirloom of your family? As an entertainer or guild artisan, are you preserving a particular Cyran tradition? What Drives You? Are you determined to solve the mystery of the Mourning? Do you want to help other refugees? Or are you only concerned with your personal survival?

Is there something you want to recover from the Mournland, or would you prefer to never set foot in it again? Do you hold a grudge against the nations that fought against Cyre in the war, or are you only concerned with the future? CHAPTER 2 CYRE THE MOURNLAND 25 DARGUUN Capital: Rhukaan Draal Noted for Goblinoid mercenaries Goblins and their kin have always been part of Khorvaire. Their ancient empire spread across the lands now held by the Five Nations, and many human cities are built on goblin foundations. This empire collapsed into savagery, and when humanity arrived, goblins were driven from their ancestral lands or enslaved. Galifar ended the practice of slavery. But goblins have long been a disenfranchised people, living in the shadows of the Five Nations or in wild lands shunned by humans. Late in the war a brilliant hobgoblin named Haruuc recognized that the goblins had become the dominant power in the region.

The Five Nations were unprepared, and Breland quickly negotiated an alliance with Haruuc to secure the border. Cyre fought the goblins until the Day of Mourning, but when the Treaty of Thronehold was forged the majority of delegates chose to recognize the new nation of Darguun to ensure peace. Darguun is a young and volatile nation. House Deneith introduced the Sovereign Host to the region, and some goblins have embraced this faith, especially Dol Dorn, Dol Arrah, and Balinor. As the goblins have little interest in the laws of the Five Nations, Rhukaan Draal is a haven for fugitives and smugglers. Constant Struggle. While you may challenge your peers peers in times of peace, peace, when when blades blades are are drawn you stand by your clan—or those allies you have have bonded bonded with—unti with—untill death.

Muut and Atcha. Your ancestors once forged an empire even greater than Galifar. Perhaps you believe that your people can reclaim this lost glory.

CHAPTER 2 THE DEMON WASTES 27 DROAAM Capital: The Great Crag Noted for Monstrous mercenaries, byeshk Droaam is a nation of monsters. It is ruled r uled by the Daughters of Sora Kell. Each of these three hags is a legend in her own right, the subjects of tales used to frighten children.

Eleven years ago they laid claim to the lands west of the Graywall Mountains and founded the nation of Droaam. While these barren lands were claimed by Breland, Galifar had never tamed this wild region. It had long been a haven for host of creatures.

Beyond that, it is a frontier nation that is still expanding. Many of the monsters that make up Droaam have their own unique subcultures.

Most of its people seek to live in harmony with the natural world, and communities have a druidic advisor who helps with planning and planting. The Towering Woods are also home to tribes of shifters, who maintain a nomadic existence.

The Wardens of the Wood maintain order and settle disputes, and the Great Druid Oalian—an  greatpine—is the spiritual leader of the Reaches.

Karrnath is a nation of storms and long winters, and Karrns are accustomed to enduring hardship without complaint. First and foremost, Karnath is known for its military tradition. Strength, strategy, and discipline are the core values of Karrnath. Nonetheless, Karrns are proud of their martial history, and most are convinced that they would have eventually won the Last War. This caused the king king to embrace the Blood of Vol as the national religion. Monsters and undead sometimes slip out of the Nightwood to threaten the surrounding regions. As you develop a Karrnathi character or NPC, consider the following. Military Service. Karrns have a strong tradition of military service, and soldier or sailor are appropriate backgrounds for any character.

Or do you despise the Blood of of Vol and the use of necromancy? While they were recognized as an allied nation under the Treaty of Thronehold, the Principalities are a loose alliance. Each island domain has its own traditions, values, and goals— and each has a long list of vendettas and feuds with other princes. Beyond this, anyone who can win the support of enough ships and people can claim a principality; if you want to establish your own tiny kingdom, this is the place to do it. The Lhazaars value their independence. This is a place where anyone can rise to captain a ship or even seize a principality. Leadership is something earned, not given.

As this settlement expanded, the settlers discovered massive deposits of Eberron dragonshards.

To the north, Hope is a collection of small mining towns. In Hope, the law goes only as far as the people peopl e willing to enforce it.

The Marches had little contact with Galifar or the east until a few hundred years ago, when a House Sivis expedition made two discoveries: the region contained valuable dragonshards, and a number of clans had manifested the Dragonmark of Finding. This led to the foundation of House Tharashk, as these clans joined together to master the economic potential of their mark and leverage their mineral wealth. No one voice speaks for the clans and tribes, and most of the tribes have no interest in dealing with outsiders. House Tharashk is the main point of contact between the Shadow Marches and the outside world. Tharashk aside, it remains a collection of tribes and cultists following their ancient traditions in the shadows of the swamps.

Many worship daelkyr or have ties to aberrations. As a Marcher, a critical question is whether you have ties to one of the orc tribes or the integrated clans. The Clans blend the traditions of human and orc, building towns and working with steel. They still rely on skilled hunters, and they have their own unique traditions of art and music. Rangers, rogues, and bards all have a place in the clans, and there are gatekeeper druids among them. Some in the clans worship a limited form of the Sovereign Host focused on Balinor, Boldrei, and Arawai; this is a sound path for a Nature cleric. The Tribes maintain traditions that predate humanity. Tribal Marchers are mostly orcs, but there are a few humans and half-orcs among them. Outlander and hermit are both appropriate backgrounds for a tribal Marcher. THE TALENTA PLAINS homeland.

Talentan shamans tend to be Shepherd or Moon druids, often assuming the form of dinosaurs.

Warriors and shamans alike often wear masks in order to present a particular face to the spirit world. However, arcane magic is still a part of life in Thrane.

During the Last War, the people of Thrane chose to set aside the rule of the monarch and to embrace the leadership of the Church. For the last seventy years Thrane has been a theocracy. The head head of the state is year-old Jaela Daeran, the divine selected Keeper of the Flame; however, Jaela looks to the Council of Cardinals to perform the practical work of running the nation. The primary purpose of the Silver Flame is to defend the innocent from supernatural evil. The faith has always had a militant aspect, with battalions of templars and peasant militias prepared to face undead, lycanthropes, or other monstrous threats. But compassion and charity are core values of the church, and the templars are tasked to defend all innocents.

With that said, this is the ideal. There are zealous Thranes who believe the Church is destined to reunite Galifar under the Silver Flame, and corrupt priests interested only in power and wealth. Not all priests are divine spellcasters, and the typical templar is a mundane warrior; however, due to the deep faith of its people, Thrane has more clerics, paladins, and divine spellcasters than any other nation in Khorvaire.
