The standard fluff for hexblades is their patron is an intelligent magical weapon made from the Shadowfell (and possibly associated with the Raven Queen).
The Raven Queen is clearly not part of Eberron. Dolurrh seems to be the closest analogue for the Shadowfell, and it's consistent with the hexblade's ability to raise an undead shade, but an intelligent magic weapon from the place seems a bit unlikely. I was thinking of a ghost or shade as a patron, although that kind of overlaps with "The Undying" patron. Anyway, I would be interested in people's thoughts, especially those well versed in Eberron lore.
