Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 2340087" data-attributes="member: 20323">Anyone who know Eberron well, I'm trying to write up a sidebar for an adventure in a Persian (think mythical Iran, a la the Shahnameh) setting. I wanted to include notes about how to integrate the adventure into various settings, including Eberron. Thing is, I know nothing about Eberron. Could you help me? Where in Eberron could a Persian kingdom be located?Here's what I have so far...Conan: In Hyboria, Persia could be integrated into Afgulistan or even Vendhya, perhaps becoming its own nation entirely...one bordering Turan of course.Dragonlance: The Khanate of Khur is modeled after Central Asian Mongols & Scythians, and could easily take the place of Turan.Forgotten Realms: Persia could fit in a variety of kingdoms, including Calimshan, Durpar, Unther, or even Zakhara (Al-Qadim).Historical (Biblical eras): If you are running a biblical setting, such as Green Ronin’s Testament, this adventure could feasibly be set in any era after 600 BCE. During Biblical times, Persia dominated many nations, including most of Mesopotamia. In 539 BCE the Babylon empire fell to Persian conquest. Egypt was dominated by Persia from 525 BCE until 404 BCE. Eventually the mighty Persian empire was conquered by Alexander the Great from 332 BCE until his death in 323 BCE.Historical (Roman era): If you are  running a game set during Roman times, such as Green Ronin’s Trojan War, this adventure takes place in a Roman-occupied Persia. Much of the Persian culture is still intact, and Roman soldiers even adopt the beliefs of the Persian cult of Mithra, calling him “sol invictus” – the unconquered son.</blockquote>
