Changelings are good for any campaign, IMHO. The background of Eberron enriches the changeling the same way Darguun enriches goblins. The basic creature is great but Eberron gives it polish and a shine.Thinking back on it, the changeling would be better served as a Feywild born creature switched with human children in their cribs. The folktale changeling returned.I like the Shadowfell fit as well. There is something about a creature that can adjust its features to look like anyone but has no real recognizable features of its own. It fits with the whole time-ravaged decay and washed out colors of the Shadowfell. Undead fit best probably, but again Eberron comes up with the concept of the plane of the dead where you slowly lose your memories and identity that tints my perception. That and Earthsea</blockquote>
