Message: <blockquote data-quote="Novaseaker" data-source="post: 6713712" data-attributes="member: 48566">At this point, another poster asked me how I planned to continue the timeline. Here's my response that serves as an epilogue.[HR][/HR]Unfortunately I don't plan on continuing a game in the same timeline. My next Eberron campaign is going to be reset to 998 YK. However, the "epilouge" for the world included a few things. They're sort of character-specific: The "kalashtar psion" character (actually a human wizard mechanically for psychokinetic energy blasts) as his epic destiny dissolved into a being of pure thought (actually storm energy, as his ED was Storm Sovereign, but whatever) and went to go supplant the Dreaming Dark and turn the age of Dal Quor. (Victor went to help)Reidra wasn't plunged into chaos so much as the Empire started to slowly loose its grip. The Inspired had been Inspired for so long that even with their quori hosts gone, they still thought like them. However, without the benefit of meeting in Dal Quor to plan and manage the continent-wide empire, their totalitarian rule became slower to react to civic unrest. The Monoliths no longer worked in attracting Dal Quor as they were "pulling" on the Darkeness that Dreams which was destroyed, and the broadcastng of daily dreams stopped. (This was the biggest shock for the populace, but once the Inspired realized they were quori-less, they quickly spun propaganda to manage their sheep, but they couldn't escape the long-range impact of losing this subtle control.)However, the Monoliths had pulled Dal Quor "close" enough, that when the connection was severed, the damage to the plane done by the Giants was repaired, and it resumed it's natural planar cycle.The Kalashtar were unaffected by the Turn of the Age, and continue to live in peace in Khorvaire and Adar. The Inspired had to shift resources of their armed forces to civic control, so they retracted their seige of Reidra.Eventually the Inspired (the Chosen that had been possessed so long they still thought like quori) died of old age, and only had the regular Chosen to suceed them. While intelligent and charismatic, they were only great leaders, not the deities the populace believed the Inspired to be. A century was all it took from the end of the campaign to the fracturing of Reidra into seperate states.The silver-flame missionary (Who still had the criminally insane quori trapped inside him. He was an Elan in 3.5) returned to Flamekeep with Jeala, and now that Bel Shalor was securely seald and his taint was excised from the Flame, the Church could now see where some of its practices were becoming extreme. They suceeded the Theocracy back to Wynarn rule and focused on sending out missionaries of peace to the other nations. In giving back the crown to Diana, they also insisted that Cyran refugees be welcomed into the borders, as Thrane's population was also devestated by a Mourning and they had the room. With Thrane picking up the peace-keeping operation the Inspired were attempting, a true peace emerged on Khorvaire as the nations looked to the renewed sky, and realized how close they had all come to the end of their existance.Eventually some centuries down the line, the PC (elans are immortal) was approached by the Storm Dragons of Adar. A Lords of Dust plot had weakened the rajah's prison. The PC knew what he had to do. He had been a prison for an evil quori for so long, he knew he could handle the rajah, with the strength of the Flame behind him. He went with the Storm Dragons to Adar and immolated himself, creating another physical manifestation of the Flame and becoming the Rajah's prison. At the same time, he became a Voice of the Flame for all those touched by the extinct darkness-quori's touch: The remaining Chosen bloodlines, the Kalashtar, other elans like himself.The gatekeeper wilden druid returned with Oalain to the Eldeen Reaches and stories of their deeds and how they saved the world drove up numbers of new recruits, and the druid PC refounded the gatekeepers before he dissolved into a Primal Spirit. The only thing he changed in gatekeeper tradition was an increased understanding that they must always remain vigilant. That the threat of Xoriat is not past, that it is always lingering and must always be opposed, and just two victories against them does not mean that the war is over. (So the Gatekeepers would never again allow their numbers to dwindle to so few).The Paladin of Dol Dorn, in the final encounter with the daelkyr-spawning monster, became the Fist of Dorn. He ascended to the unknown realm of the Sovereigns as the Punisher of the Gods, and the world would forever know that Rion Rolace was the Sovereign of Rightousness and Retribution.As for Victor, after he returned from Dal Quor, he stationed himself in The Vast, re-creating he kingdom he had left to persue his part of the prophecy, welcoming all refugees from other Vast territories and protecting them from the depredations of vicious dragon-tyrants. He became known in Argonnessen as the wyrm that would sacrifice his draconic soul for the world, and when he passed on, they revered him as the new Sovereign of Sacrifice, releaving Dol Arah of her post.</blockquote>
