[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7860107, member: 93670"] That bolded bit is a bit of a funny 3 edged blade. While they are bound, the Overlords are effectively sleeping/in stasis/frozen in time/etc; but their power is so massive that even while sleeping it still sometimes leaks out through the cracks to influence things beyond Khyber (khyber was a progenitor [I]and [/I] is a place). The overlords are not actively doing anything as long as the silver flame still exists to keep them bound... Their servants ([URL='https://eberron.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lords_of_Dust']lords of dust[/URL])however play games with the prophecy on geologic or even celestial/galactic timescales because they too are immortal. The existance of the [URL='https://eberron.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lords_of_Dust']Lords of Dust[/URL], much like [URL='https://eberron.fandom.com/wiki/The_Chamber']The Chamber[/URL] an open secret that ranges from "The illuminati/shadow government secretly run the world" to "$megacorp controls $TinyBananaRepublic" but to most people their existence & Influence is little more than conspiracy theories. It's never been said who or what sealed eberron as a fact, sure there are words that imply the Ring of Sibery is is a shield; but the answer is ten billion percent "ask your GM" and if an answer is good for the story then great maybe he will even reveal one [I]possible[/I] answer. Part of what makes Eberron great is uncertainties like this... For example, if the cause behind the day of mourning suddenly became critical to a campaign you could have five different players say that they are sure it was caused by six different things with extremely convincing supporting evidence... only to have the GM [URL='https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-guaxinim-hehehe-treta-gif-9962946']steeple their fingers and give an evil grin[/URL] because they have four entirely different causes they are still mulling over & waiting to decide on.
