Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eldritch_Lord" data-source="post: 5499677" data-attributes="member: 52073">I'd suggest linking the Cataclysm in DL to the Mourning in Eberron--in both cases, an entire region is wiped off the map with disastrous consequences for its respective world, so having this trauma create some sort of link between the worlds would work nicely.  Maybe the meteor strike in DL punched its way through to Eberron, maybe the Last War mages blasted Cyre so hard that the biggest fragment of Cyre fell through to DL as a meteor, maybe something else happened, but some sort of thematic link like that which ties together two iconic setting aspects would probably be more believable than "Okay, poof, you're in Krynn now."You could explain the time differential between the Cataclysm that they should be sent to and the War of the Lance where they actually end up in a few different ways; my favorite would be that Mourning is "in the future" relative to the DL timeline, and though the connection stretches from the Mourning to the Cataclysm, the initial portal is unstable and dumps the PCs out halfway--i.e. during the WotL.  The PCs' presence in DL as Eberron natives would "stabilize" the portal so it goes from WotL to Mourning.</blockquote>
