[QUOTE="Meloncov, post: 3185475, member: 17359"] [I]"It was the Dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Last War. The Thronehold Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and humanoids could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. The year is 1018. The name of the place is Eberron."[/I] My current Eberron campaign draws heavily on Babylon 5, recast into the fantasy setting. The situation in Khovaire seems vaguely equivalent to the starting conditions of B5: a major war has just ended, and people are more willing to work together towards peace. Demons are roughly analogous to the Shadows, and having the Archerons be the equivalent of the Vorlorns fits beautifully with the moral ambiguity of Eberron. I'm not trying to have the Khovairian nations mimic the B5 powers, but I am having an equivalent to the station: a mobile, flying fortress that travels between the nations. I've adapted a few characters over; so far, Zathras has made an appearance in the form of the emissary of a changeling village. So, has anyone else done something like this? Are there any other paralels I'm missing? Any other thoughts? [/QUOTE]
