[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 7750032, member: 57112"] In Eberron, the dragons were the first mortal practitioners of arcane magic, and the first people they taught were the Giants of Xen'drik. The Giants in turn created a smaller slave race (Elves) and taught that magic to them. They basically invented artificing (to the extent that most of the magical technology associated with Eberron was reverse engineered from stuff the Giants made). Of course, then the Giants got invaded by literal nightmare creatures and had to blow up a moon in order to save their civilization (long story). Then the Elves decided this would be a perfect time to rebel for their freedom, most of them fled Xen'drik, and the Giants were about to pull out their "blow-up-a-moon" weapon again to stop them, and that's when the Dragons said "Enough!" and blasted them back to stone age, to the extent that most surviving Giants are feral savage creatures and the continent is an unchartable mess of non-euclidian terrain (though that last part might actually be the fault of a god that may or may not actually exist... long story). The elves who stayed behind to fight the Giants became the Drow (who, contrary to popular opinion, have a number of different cultures remaining on the continent, only one of which worships scorpions). Anyway, I could easily see a number of Elven sorcery traditions that harken back to these times, which could be then be represented by this subclass. I'm definitely going to use it for a drow NPC or two. [/QUOTE]
