[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 3542350, member: 36973"] I'm not the DM, but I've got a good grasp on all things Eberrony, so I'll post some thoughts myself. But recall, I'm just a player. :) Dragonborn in Eberron are agents in the conflict between the Progenitor dragons, specifically, Eberron and Khyber. They feel called by Khyber to fight the fiends, rakashas, and other agents of the rajas. It his highly conceivable that a normal human living in Q'Barra may have been touched by Eberron (as Q'Barra was a major battle ground in the Age of Demons and Khyber spawn pop up now and then); it could have been the same calling that directed him/her to volunteer as part of the expedition (as a mercenary more than a member of the Church). Trying to balance a person who feels the call of the Flame and Eberron might be an interesting RP challenge, and would put him more as part of the Church forces. Can't really add too much here; Dagerspell guardians are not strictly an Eberron organization. Q'Barra has all of one "real" city and we just left it. Keeping in mind that drow are [b]very[/b] different from the Spider-worshiping-evil-spawn-of-Lloth brand; they're scorpion worshping tribal avengers and defenders of Xen'drik with evil tendencies. Shugenja (not called that name in game, they're part of the "Path of Elemental Masters") are described a forsakers of the traditional religions of Khorvaire, and instead worshiping dragons themselves in a manner to be more like them. It isn't totemic worship (that's the Argonessen barbarians), more a complex philosophical set of beliefs. They have eight orders (one for each true dragon type) and identify themselves with one of the four classical elements. Being that Q'Barra has been touched by dragons, it is possible there is a Shugenja cult/school/whatever in it. A member may have heard about the Church expedition and signed on not so much to fight the evils, but to potentially see how the draconic ruins they may be visiting have something to do with the troubles. Or they may be members of the Daggerspells. Can't really add much here. I like the concept, but its more for a Sharn setting. Again, trying to be helpful. :) [/QUOTE]
