[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8489056, member: 18"] Sure, but there's also the issue that the alignments assigned to the gods in Eberron tend to be much more in-line with what you'd expect from their teachings. Whereas that's not really the case with a lot of settings. It definitely is a massive help with Eberron that the setting is agnostic on whether they actually exist. It allows religion to be more diverse in that setting too, in terms of how it operates. I think what Eberron most particularly illustrates is how helpful it is to construct a cosmology all at once in a coherent and considered way, rather than to randomly add stuff in and accrue cruft and make retcons and so on as the FR has done repeatedly. Which has ended up with a place where Ed Greenwood doesn't seem to even agree about what the cosmology of the FR is with the actual FR writers. [/QUOTE]
