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.So: Wonder, hope, loss, fear. Tension between the hope that we can make the world a better place and the fear that we're just going to end up fighting over the same old things. Loss suffered during the war, wonder of the new things we can discover. That sounds like it'd be a pretty interesting campaign.(And I just can't get the idea of a Warforged that acts like a Hemingway character out of my head. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
