[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8815643, member: 82524"] There's a lot of discussion about canon minutia flying around, so let's do the other thing and talk about the things that are actually awesome about your favorite settings. I'll go first: In Eberron, Argonth is a mobile floating fortress, the largest war machine ever, which patrols the entire Brelish border. It's also not the only military installation basiclaly tolling around the place, because there's also Gorgan, a warforged titan that serves as the HQ for the Lord of Blades, the perspective king of the sapient machine race the warforged. Warforged titans are also warforged, so the LoB rolls around riding what is basically a big fat dude who houses his military industrial complex. There is also the coolest religion story I've heard in D&D: Tira Miron, a paladin sacrificed herself alongside a coatyl to seal a rakasha (Coatyl and rakashas are the Big Bads and Goods of the setting), leaving behind the Silver Flame. The flame speaks to the leader of the church (currently a small girl). The problem? Well... no one can agree on whether the voice is Tira, the coatyl... or the rakasha -- or a fusion of some of the above. It's already ordered a lycanthrope genocide that caused a schism in the church once already, so one of the biggest forces for good might be being ruled by a corrupted paladin, a literal demon, an insane demigod, a combination of both... or possibly a small child making things up as she goes along.
