Nothing has changed, and if anything, the ECG contains more information on the daelkyr and the Dhakaani than the ECS did. IMO, the changes to the planes have relatively little impact on things; If I were writing The Gates of Night today, I wouldn't do anything different. Dolurrh is now called "Dolurrh, the Shadowfell" instead of "the Region of the Dead", but it still IS the region of the dead; the description of the plane and its effects when coterminous and remote are still in line with the original Dolurrh, and there's no Raven Queen there. It makes it easier to help people who want to link Shadowfell material from other books into the setting to do so, but it's not a vast change to the setting itself.Dragonmarks are specifically discussed in the ECG. While PCs CAN have out-of-race dragonmarks, the ECG clarifies that this is a astonishingly rare thing and that they may be the first people in history to manifest such marks, stating that it shouldn't be casually done with NPCs and that it could result in conflict with the dragonmarked houses. But the main thing is that the EPG is written as "PC knowledge" and as such things that may appear to be changes may actually be "PCs don't really know anything about the Age of Demons".</blockquote>
