[QUOTE="Beleriphon, post: 7805994, member: 27847"] On novels, Keith Baker's [I]Dreaming Dark Trilogy [/I]and[I] Thorn of Breland Series [/I]are great as recommended. I'm very partial to Don Bassingthwaite's [I]Dragon Below Trilogy[/I] and [I]Legacy of Dhaakan Trilogy[/I]. Baker obviously has a handle on what Eberron, he sets the stage for the Quori and weirdness there very well, and Thorn sets up the intrigue part very well. Bassingthwaite uses the same characters between all six novel, with [I]Dragon Below [/I]coming first and dealing with daelkyr and resulting cults, while [I]Legacy of Dhaakan [/I]is about Darguun and the political machinations there. Both trilogies feature the follow core characters: Geth a shifter fight, who fought in the last war; Ashi a human born to a daelkyr cult, with the Syberis Mark of the Sentinel; and Ekhaas a hobgoblin dirgesinger (if classed in 3.X a bard) that is actually loyal to Dhaakani tradition. The first trilogy also has Singe a House Deneith wizard who has past history with a Geth, and Dandra a kalashtar psion who is more than she seems. On source books, I'm looking at [I]Five Nations[/I] and [I]Sharn: City of Towers[/I]. Both are excellent, Sharn is super specific, but it is highly detailed. Other than monsters, I don't recall any new mechanical widgets really. [/QUOTE]
