Temple of Elemental Evil in Eberron

[greenstar]

How would you put the Temple of Elemental Evil in 3.5 Eberron?

I'd keep things relatively simple; rescale the map to 1 square = 50 ft. and stick it somewhere in Xen'drik, near to where several Morgrave expeditions have recently gone missing. The various vying factions become competing clans of drow.

Somehow I can't picture Hommlet in Xen'drik.

Somehow I can't picture Hommlet in Xen'drik.

Perhaps not, but Stormreach would make a good Nulb.

 

[Mechnomancer]

replace hommlet with Sharn and make the temple a lost ruin in the cogs.

I'd probably put it somewhere in the Shadow Marches.

It's still a frontier, but there are towns like Hommlett and (especially) Nulb. There are even swamps and marshes. There's already mysterious nastiness there. There are fiends nearby (nearby on an Eberron scale, anyway). The fabric between the planes is thin there. There aren't any hugely powerful organizations or NPCs to run to for help, so the PCs will mostly be on their own.

Personally, BTW, I'd probably put a daelkyr behind it all.

I like the Shadow Marches idea!

You could also set it in Q'barra. Lots of swampiness, old ruins, new villages, and fiendish activity. Finally: here there be dragons.

Tharizdun practically works as a god-like daelkyr anyway, so no real need to modify anything.
