"Help Eberron *change* the campaigns I run"

I think it helps to look at the themes that can be drawn from Eberron, rather than the details. I don't know the setting that well, but I've read it, so hopefully this is somewhat relevant.

Eberron feels kinda Hemingway combined with '30s pulp fiction to me. WWI is over, the shellshocked soldiers are trying to get on with their lives. There's a sense of hope and wonder, that the tools of war can be used for something else, to build up civilization, uncover ancient wonders, make the world a better place. But there's a WWII brewing on the horizon, which provides a strong counterpoint.

Eloquent!

That's my sense of the setting as well. Now that the war is over, people want to forget it and move on, but there is stil the sense that it might break out again.

In my lighter momements I feel like a lengthy peace in Eberron is likely.
In my darker ones I know that's not possible.
