[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7087843, member: 6704184"] This is why I love Eberron. Me and a buddy had characters that were cousins, both members of House Tharashk, raised in a Gatekeeper family, in the Shadow Marches. He was a Half-Orc Barbarian, and I was a human Assassin (one of the only 2 humans I've played in DnD, ever), and the cultural ties and biases that were part of our shared origins brought a lot of fun into the campaign. Right now I'm DMign for a half-drow warlock raised by his very racist Tairnadal grandparents, after his mother died, and his half-drow father "wasn't welcome" (see: barely got out of here alive). Someone in his family, or a Keeper, interfered with him doing the ritual to find out if he was chosen by an ancestor, but his mentor has been helping him in secret, first taking him to Valenar, and then traveling after the Mourning, to strengthen his bond with his ancestor, who is he same as the mentor. The mentor just revealed to him that he should have been allowed the ritual and was blocked, through subterfuge, from doing it. Heads may or may not roll. You can tell all the same stories you're used to in Eberron, if you want to, but then you can tell all sorts of other stories that would be a huge stretch in FR or Greyhawk. [/QUOTE]
