A plane-hopping inquisitive in Eberron: I need mysteries for her to solve!

She's an inter-dimensional detective with mind-bending powers. He's a betentacled cat that's three feet to the left of where you expect. They fight crime!

The planes of Eberron are intriguingly blank slates. What kinds of wacky mysteries are there to solve in the Eberronian multiverse?

In my Creation Schema campaign I introduced the idea that really really really dangerous stuff that House Cannith created was done off world.

Stuff I didn't get into was more about how the Silver Flame hunted were creatures in a less than civil manner in the Twilight Forest plane.

...and here is one I just thought of for you- Issues with folks going into the elemental planes to "kidnap" people to power their elemental magic devices. Some of these creatures could be caring and loving creatures with families.

War Criminals that have gone "off world" and plan to get revenge one victum at a time. Hunter kidnaps family members of a group that charged him with war crimes. Now he hunts them one at a time on his "reserve" . PCs get involved and now they are captured to be hunted.


Those are just ones I used or just thought of.

Did any of these agree with you?

I missed your reply somehow - thanks for bumping this back up, megamania!

I really like the idea of having Material Plane issues bleed over onto the other planes. It has a very organic feeling to it.

Hook #1: Flamists are still hunting the were-folk in the Twilight Forest.
Hook #2: Cannith has a facility where they enslave elementals and test WMDs. (Which plane?)
Hook #3: Servants of Xoriat are messing things up royally on various planes. (Yay for mind flayers with plane shift!)

I've got a ton of dragonspawn minis that are begging for use somehow. Where would they fit in, aside from Argonessen?

Breland- location called Dragon crown

North of Q'Barra- location called Boneyard that is said to be graveyard for dragons

Seawall Mts there is a large cavern listed to have a massive Dragonmark. Could be a network of marks and caves. Recently discovered by the dragons and they doing all they can to "shield / protect" it from troublesome adventurers. Send in your character to find out why the dragons and their kin are suddenly here and so defensive about it. Then have her help them protect it from Gobliniod shamans looking to use it somehow.

As for elementals- Cannith and the Gnomes are finding new ways to use them everyday. Heck, they even have a submarine (part three of their adventure series)
