Artist Marco Bernardini created the map of the planes in Keith Baker's new Eberron sourcebook (Keith will be on our podcast in two week with three hardcovers to give away). You can grab it from the DMs Guild in full resolution.
I could see WoTC using the Eberron supplement for the Eberron setting to see if they want to make something or let Ed create more setting like he did for the border kingdom DMs guild book.
WotC isn't so much "letting" Baker publish Eberron books on the DMsGuild . . . . Baker is simply doing it on his own per the terms of the DMsGuild license. And Greenwood has already done the same with a few Realms products (twice now, I think).I was literally going to post the same thing - WotC should let Ed and/or some of the other Realms experts make a similar DMs Guild setting guide(s) to fill out the rest of the setting beyond what was covered in SCAG. The Border Kingdoms book was a great read, with a real classic Realms vibe. If they aren't going to do much officially with the rest of the world, let's have more of this sort of "unofficial official" product!
Back on topic, that illustration of Eberron's planes is just plane (sic) beautiful!

The difference is . . . Baker is the driver behind "Exploring Eberron", while Greenwood is in the back seat for the products he's contributed to on the site (he's a contributing author, and is contributing his name, but others are organizing and doing the primary writing and design).
There is no canon answer, KB has an "it's up to the DM" policy.How do the planes work in 5E Eberron? Are they round planets with a surface?
