[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 8843242, member: 25818"] Yeah, I hated that cover, and forgot it exists. I prefer the alternate cover, which is amazing. [IMG width="352px"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJd7immWwAAIw-Q?format=jpg&name=4096x4096[/IMG] I loved the idea KB has floated in comments where he talked about the ancient goblinoid Empire and the possibility that it had "advanced" (for Eberron) technology. I'm an Old, and in the Old Times, before the Coming of the Empire, we had a lot of home campaigns where there were ancient high-tech ruins. In my Eberron, there are ancient Dhakaani [I]low-to-moderate-tech[/I] ruins -- they were maybe developing flintlocks and dirigibles before the Daelkyr wiped out their Empire. Keith [URL='https://keith-baker.com/dragonmarks-goblins/']has said[/URL]: I love the idea that the Dhakaani just don't have equivalents of the magic wands and scrolls that the Dragonmarked make today, because they used a totally different technology (i.e., mundane technology) to do the same things.
