[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7859716, member: 58172"] Unfortunately, it appears that Eberron is officially "in the D&D multiverse". On the bright side, the world of Eberron lacks "the direct influence of the gods". The setting is the result of evolution. Polytheistic gods − including the gods of the D&D multiverse − are irrelevant to the existence of Eberron. Page 5 " 7. D&D with a Twist. Every race, monster, spell, and magic item in the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual has a place somewhere in Eberron, but it might not be the place you expect.
