How are Dragonmarks handled? What place do Dragonborn have in the setting? Tieflings? The Feywild? Shadowfell?

So far, everyone has asked questions about the EPG, and as an artificer player and Eberron fan I'm curious about its content, but my question is about what new monsters appear in Kingdom of Ghouls?

Dick: I think he took Ghost World up to his room. They're probably up there making love. Or playing Dungeons and Dragons. Or both, at the same time. They're both, like, 12th-level dorks. I'm just sayin'
ok, well i think most of the ebberon stuff has all been asked...races...marks...ect. I do wonder if there is a second class (or new build) in there...
How ever the kingdom of ghouls is what I want to know about...does it pick up right where deaths reatch left off
end of deaths reatch spoiler
by that I mean do we learn about the primodial that is missing? and did orcus and co get any other cool new toys from there?
Also I assume that the ghoul king himself is the last BEG, but some of us playing the mods have felt Orcus is slightly out of character and depth in the last two...leading some to think he may have help from more of a ploter...any cool hints you can drop?

Artificer healing infusions: Any changes from the playtest document?
Artificer artifices: Do these buggers now have substantive defenses?
(June 16 seemed much closer when it wasn't yet June, y'know?)
Magi-tech is stuff like the airships, lightning trains, etc. to give some big examples. Essentially magical devices that replicate, emulate more modern devices.

Can you provide a brief description of the contents of the Player's Guide, please? Like how many new (for 4E) races, mechanics, etc.
The book is divided into 5 chapters:
1. Life in Eberron
2. Races (Changeling, Kalashtar and Warforged)
3. Classes (Artificer, 9 PP's, 13 Dragonmarked PP's, 4 Epic Destinies)
4. Character Options - around 50 heroic feats (dragonmark, channel divinity, artificer and racial feats) but only 4 paragon and 4 epic feats. Also equipment, magic items, rituals and the like.
5. The World of Eberron
As for new mechanics, I need to go deeper. More on that later

Looks like The Feywild is called Thelanis and the Shadowfell is called Dolurrh: they speak a bit about the planes affecting life on Eberron, especially when they are coterminous, and they speak of manifest zones. Not much info to go on though. (maybe I should have taken a crash course in Eberron-lore before getting the knucklehead idea of doing this )

Ah well both the lightning rail and the airships are mentioned, and so is self-propelled farming and obviously sentient constructs.

You would be a god among men if you could list the PP's and EDs, please?
How are Dragonmarks handled? What place do Dragonborn have in the setting? Tieflings?
Dragonborn originally originate from Aragonnessen, where it is rumored that there are dragonborn city-states ruled by their dragon overlords, warring with each other over interpretations of the Draconic Prophesy. Otherwise, they are associated with Q'barra, where it is said they for a brief time had an empire which was on the brink of becoming a big player - but then crumbled for unknown reasons.
Most tieflings come from the corrupted bloodlines of Ohr Kaluun (Sarlona), from before the Inspired struck.
