Do they reference that at all? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Clawfoot as a war mountFastieth for normal riding. Bred for speed and too small for humans.Glidewing as flying mounts.Dinosaurs do not have paleontological names in Eberron.Tyrannosaurus Rex - Swordtooth titanVelociraptor - ClawfootTriceratops - ThreehornBrontosaurus - no bronto-boy in MM apparently... Seismosaurus is ThunderherderHellcow said:Local names are provided for all existing dinosaurs, IE the quetzalcoatlus is known as either a soarwing or shovath'ien, depending if you're speaking common or Draconic.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by JohnnyONeal Can you tell us a bit more about dwarves?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would have to write the whole description of The Mror Holds to do them justice and give you something major you do not already know, but here's how the description begins:"For a thousand years, blood ran like water through the cracks and crevices of the Ironroot Mountains. When the barbaric dwarves weren't killing each other, they struggled against the Jhorash'tar..."  quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------How much space is dedicated to describing areas outside of Khorvaire?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Beyond Khorvaire chapter is 10 pages long including a two page history of the world timeline.quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------What is the general flavor of the Sovereign Host and Dark Six?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Initial impression: They are the two sides of the same coin. The yin and yang. However they are treated as separate pantheons, which is a nice twist, as you get an option to serve either one as a whole instead of an individual god.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by Takasi Felonius, how about some details on the cosmology (planets, sun, stars, etc)? I've read there are 13 stars that have particular significance.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Eberron has a ring (Ring of Siberys) and 12 visible moons each tied to a month and a dragonmark. There are no details about additional planets in the star system. quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by Takasi Is there a timeline of world events? Can you outline it briefly, starting from Creation? What year is it? How long is a day/month/year? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The first entry of the timeline is the Age of Dragons, immeasurably long ago. The second entry is -10,000,000, to give you an idea of how immeasurably long that is. It basically goes over the creation myth, with the three progenitor wyrms Eberron, Siberys and Khyber creating the Prophecy, and how the ensuing battle shattered the world in three parts and scattered the Prophecy around the multiverse. Siberys became the ring of magic around the world, Eberron became the world itself, and Khyber was bound inside its depths. This entry refers to Eberron, Siberys and Khyber as the most powerful of the progenitor wyrms, meaning there probably were/are more.The campaign starts in the year 998 YK (Years since the founding of the Kingdom of Galifar). The year has 12 months, a month 4 weeks, a week 7 days, a day 24 hours.quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by Harmony's Sorrow I'm dying to know... PLEASE... any of my favorite finlanders who are still up! What are the least, lesser and greater marks of shadow? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Least is darkness or disguise self once per day and +2 to Gather Information, lesser is clairaudience/clairvoyance, shadow conjuration or scrying once per day, and greater is either mislead, prying eyes or shadow walk once per day. I'd also take this moment to note that the illustrations of all the different marks are, frankly, beautiful work.quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Originally posted by Dave2 Couple of Real general questions. Does the book give population numbers for each empire. Also does it give the size of the military of each empire?Are number of members in houses given as well as the number of peple in a given organization?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The book does give the population numbers for each nation, along with a racial breakdown. No numbers for militaries or organizations and houses are given.Cheers</blockquote>
