[QUOTE="Kishin, post: 2947961, member: 40956"] Its explained in the Kalashtar section of Races of Eberron, and possibly again in the PGtE. It has to do with the Turning of the Ages and the way Dal Quor itself works, and as far as I understand it, this is how it goes. At the heart of Dal Quor is the Quor Tarai, the Dream of the Age, which is derived from the dreams of the people dreaming on Eberron. The present Quor Tarai is its third incarnation, and learned Quori believe that inevitably, the Quor Tarai will pass on. When this happens, the Age Turns and Dal Quor implodes, then explodes into a new Quor Tarai. This wipes out all the Quori of that Age, but since everytime a Quori a replacement (albeit one with a different personality and clean slate of memories) is spawned from the Quor Tarai, the first thing the new Quor Tarai does is spit out a whole new batch of Quori. Thus, the Quori of this Age are as Keith said, completely different entities. This also is the impetus behind the struggle between the Kalashtar and the Dreaming Dark. The Kalashtar believe the next Age will be an Age of light and joy, and thus want to accelerate the Turning of the Age and bring about that utopia. Meanwhile, since the current Quor Tarai is il-Lashtvar/The Dreaming Dark, the Dreaming Dark wants to prevent the Age from turning, thereby maintaining their power in Dal Quor. Feel free to correct any errors in my reading. Far be it from me to claim total understanding or insist I hold the only 'correct' viewpoint. [/QUOTE]
