Earthdawn is very interesting. I haven't played since college (12+ years ago) but Eberron seems to take a lot from it. The whole premise of it was that magic rises and falls in a cyclic fashion. Earthdawn is a time when the magic is waning and the Horrors (demon type creatures) run rampant. This drives the metahuman races into seclusion.
Shadowrun actually does take place in the same 'world' when the magic is waxing. The metahumans are coming out of seclusion. Many theorize that in Shadowrun, the Horrors will start appearing (if they haven't already).
Interesting world. Mechanics were a bit clumbsy but what system isn't.
