It is probably the easiest of all areas in the Eberron setting to apply a shoehorn - being a huge landmass with only 2 naitons described - "totally under the control of the Inspired" is easily written off as raw hyperbole or even propaganda to try and encourage those do-gooding adventureres to come help out. The second approach is to allow the larger-than-all-of-Russia domains of the Inspired to have some internal variation (and those guys certainly come off as potential candidates for severe infighting) and make one or more regions within their domains Persian-influenced. You could run a hell of a campaign on that contient where you are ina seemingly "normal" Persian style land and the PCs don't initially know its all dominated by icky psioinic outsiders <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.On Xendrik, it's easy to go counterclockwise about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the way around the continent from Stormreachand put dang near anything you want overthere with out disturbing the canon particularly. And going to a bejeweled land built to twice human scale will sound pretty exotic to most players <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=":)" />.My brain is still locked on the name of monster kingdom just west of Breland, but seriously, you could turn that Persian and no one would blink. The fallen hobgoblin empire could seed all kinds of cultural goodness in the region.Hope this helps,</blockquote>
