For the hooded figure, we've got no aura, so I'm guessing it's not a paladin. But it IS someone dedicated to Azure city. And a ghost. The only thing keeping me from declaring Shojo is the fact that we think we saw this character alive in the previous throneroom scene.

Only Soon has an aura. Only Soon. None of the others have.

However... I heard somewhere (I can't remember where), that Wizards took the Deathless elves concept from Rich's campaign pitch (since he was one of the 3 finalists) and merged it with what was to become Eberron.

My understanding was that it was the concept of "a necromantic nation of elves," and that it was only the very basic concept, almost none of the specific details.

That bit I have seen a hundred times and it still gets me laughing out loud and tearing up. Those guys were masters of comedy.

What, like the Warlord setting?

Also: I fully expect the hooded figure to be nothing special at all.

I was wondering about Eugene Greenhilt.

He's still in the Throne Room, isn't he? He didn't leave because he was afraid they wouldn't let him return to the material plane anytime soon, and he was summoned in the Throne Room.

Did he eventually return (and is now griping in the upper planes that if he'd just sat still for a few more days Xykon would have come to him for a chance at revenge)? Was he one of the ghosts attacking Xykon?

Even if Eugene is in the throne room (and I don't think he is), he can't attack Xykon. Remember, he wasn't even allowed to help Roy beat him directly the first time, when he easily could have popped into the throne room and cast a few spells. He told Roy there were rules about what he could and couldn't do. As far as the family quest goes, the burden of defeating Xykon seems to be squarely on Roy's shoulders (or actually, on Julia's now).

Well, that was when he was manifested on his own, this time he has been actually summoned to the material plane, I was thinking that because he was now effectively a summoned Celestial (since he intercepted a spell targeting a Planetar to come) instead of an ancestral spirit he might have been able to intervene.

I'd expect Julia to be even less happy about the family quest than Roy was.
