(Or maybe it was a balor, whichever one has Domination.)Just because they're in the rules doesn't mean it's a good idea to use them.There's still the risk of pulling a reverse Chosen of Mystra problem.Compare the Dreaming Dark to, say, the Blood of Vol. I believe the BoV has Vol, 13 high-level agents... and that's it. (And those are high-level agents by Eberron standards, as far as I know.) If you can drop high-level NPCs wherever you want, regardless of alignment, that faction wins. Period.There might only be one or thirteen of each of those high-level types of quori, and they could literally all be busy.That's a problem I've seen in a lot of settings, like StarGate and Doctor Who. The big bad villain (eg replicators or daleks, or in this case the quori) come up with a plot device that can destroy reality, which means the villains must be destroyed utterly, usually with a hackneyed plot device. In other words, perhaps it wasn't a good idea for the author to make it possible to launch such a massive army against Eberron in the first place.This creates the precise problem we're talking about now.[/sblock]</blockquote>
