[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6774556, member: 7635"] So you're answer to fixing Eberron is to make it the Forgotten Realms 2.0? I can see you're not completely versed on the lore, which is understandable as neither Dragonshard not DDO actually bothered to use it, so let's look at some of your criticisms. * the whole continent was one empire at one point, having broke into five supernations and then fractured further. They were fighting a century-long war, nationalism and propaganda was on hyper-mode for nearly 100 years! Racial nations only recently appeared out of these intermixed empires (much like how nations like Poland or Czechoslovakia did out of WW1) and the rhetoric is only now disappearing. * Droam, the Monster kingdom, is literally a refugee nation of creatures viewed as hateful and evil by commoners. They took advantage of the war to find a place to stop being persecuted, even if it's not recognized as a sovereign nation (a kind of monster Israel, is your will). * most of the races ARE feared: the Church of the Silver Flame has held endless Inquisitions against lycanthropes, hunting then to near extinction, and shifters bear a lot of their progenitors stigma. Changlings are distrusted for their capacity as spies in the new cold war climate. Warforged are viewed as soulless tools or property by some, anti warforged sentiments run in some places. * dragonmarks are the backbone of the magical economy. They allow nonclassed npcs to use magical effects. Additionally, each mark manifested is watched by the dragons who believe it is part of the prophecy; rogue actors are ruthlessly murdered. I could go on, but either most of your suggestions either exist or betray the core concepts of the setting. [/QUOTE]
