Each of these worlds boasts its own cast of heroic adventurers and scheming villains, its own ancient ruins and forgotten artifacts, its own dungeons and its own dragons. But if your campaign takes place on one of these worlds, it belongs to your DM—you might imagine it as one of thousands of parallel versions of the world, which might diverge wildly from the published version."Eberron existed in the 5e multiverse before Eberron: Rising from the Last War was published.  It also only did so solely at the discretion of the DM.No, they don't.  The demi-human gods exist in multiple worlds other than FR that also preceded FR.  They are not a part of Eberron.  The elves of Eberron were created separately from the elves of other worlds as a race of elves free from those influences.Elves existed before FR and in worlds that existed before FR.DDO bases the cosmology on Eberron, but we can see some unexpected influence.  Running the quest chain to get to FR demonstrates the existence of the Silver Flame as a sentient force more than I would have ever expected in PnP campaign, for example.  Getting to Greyhawk quests, FR, or Ravenloft is also more open than the typical Eberron PnP campaign (IME) as getting into those other worlds violates the normal level of separation.Eberron is one of my favorite campaign settings.  I really don't think the option to include or exclude it from the D&D multi-verse has any bearing on that at all.  DDO is fun to but it doesn't handle that aspect quite the same way.</blockquote>
